Week 6 – Math 10 – Multiplying Binomials Using Area Models
One Thing I learned this week was how to multiply binomials using area models which is basically simplifying it using 4 boxes, for example.
as you see we use the 4 boxes, we first put the numbers on the side and we multiply the number that are outside the box and put the answer in the box in between them. on the top of the box I wrote which number are being multiplied.
after you have all your numbers in the boxes, make sure you combine all the like terms, for example I underlined 35x and 8x because they are like terms that can be added together, In the end you should end up with your answer, the answer I got for my question is 142 + 43x + 20.

Week 5 – Math 10 – Finding angles
One thing I learned this week was finding angles in a right triangle.
The first step to finding the angle is to first distinguish what ratio we are going to use by narrowing it down by using “SOHCAHTOA” and we can see that the Adjacent side doesn’t have a unit on its side so we take off the ratios that use adjacent which removes Cosine and Tangent, leaving us with a Sine ratio. Then, we put it into an equation.
The second step is solving. once we have our equation, the first thing we need to do is isolate the variable which is that zero with a line through it also known as theta. So, in order to isolate the variable, we move the Sine to the other side of the equal sign which turns it negative, also called an “Inverse Sine”. once we put this on our calculator, we should get the answer 33.1 if we rounding to nearest tenths, but if we are rounding to nears whole number then we will be left with 33 and make sure you put a degree sign on you answer so we would have an answer of 33°.
Week 4 – Math 10- SOHCAHTOA
One thing I learned was how to distinguish the different ratios using the acronym “SOHCAHTOA”.
the acronym stands for “sin opposite hypotenuse, cosine adjacent hypotenuse, tangent opposite adjacent”.
you can implement it in a question like this for example, you can see that the side are labeled and we units on the hypotenuse side and the adjacent side, but we don’t have anything on the opposite side so we know the ration cant include an opposite side on it. when we look at “SOHCAHTOA” to see which ratio we will be using, we can take off the ratios that have an opposite side in it so, that removes both Sin and Tangent, which leaves us with Cosine to finish our question with.
Visual Literacy “Steve Cutts”
The piece by Steve Cutts uses Visual Literacy which is the ability to read, write and create visual images. It is a concept that relates to art and design. The picture I chose can have many meanings, one of them being about how much our cellular devices affect us throughout the day. That is why it shows the people walking off the cliff because when they are using their device while walking, they become extremely unaware of their surroundings because their brain is just focused on their device and completely neglecting their surroundings. Another meaning which has some similarities to what was just stated is that the illustration is talking about the famous app “Pokémon Go”. This is because in the illustration, you can see while people are walking off the cliff, there is Pikachu which is a Pokémon character. This would fit the illustration meaning because there were many cases of people dying while playing Pokémon Go because while they were focusing on walking around in the app. They would not focus on where they were walking and, in many cases, get run over by cars. This illustration can be dedicated to people who play or played Pokémon Go. This can even be for people who use their cellular devices often.

Week 3 Math 10 Scientific Notation
One thing I learned this week was scientific notation, scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form.
when you have a big number with a lot of zeros, you move the decimal places until you reach the big number and put the important number as a decimal and when it is all zeros, you do the decimal number times 10 and however many decimal places you move it, that will be your exponent.
Week 2 – Math 10 (Finding the LCM)
One thing I improved on this week was finding the LCM in two numbers. I improved because in grade 9 I feel that I wasn’t the best at finding the LCM but now I feel that with the ways I learned this week, I feel that I can do it much easier.
