Chelsea Davis Compare and Contrast Essay- TKAM Block D An Essential Connection Relationships are not only beneficial, but an essential key to human life. Both stories To Kill A Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, and The Help directed by Tate Taylor explore the same question: how do relationships help us grow? During the civil […]

Week 10- Math 10
Polynomials Something that stumped me this week was figuring with “method” to use for each polynomial question. I was mixing up product and sum, GCF, and double distributing. During the lesson, we came up with questions as a “flow chart” to decipher which method to use: If you can say yes to any of the […]
Patterns in Polynomials
Patterns can be found in polynomials using number equations or algebra tiles….. 1) Multiplying 2 Binomials- If we have, ex. (x+2) (x+3) , we can find all 3 terms without doing double distributive: -First term: multiply the first 2 terms together, = […]
Week 9- Math 10
Factoring Polynomials One concept that stumped me at first this week was finding the GCF while factoring polynomials. *Side Note: factoring polynomials = the opposite of multiplying polynomials, so we put the brackets back in the question! In this question during the lesson, we were asked to find the factored form of: 12ab + After I […]
Week 8- Math 10
One question that stumped me this week was during our first lesson of multiplying polynomials. (2x -4) (x -3) I wasn’t sure how to distrubute it as both terms are within brackets. I then realized that we can still distribute the first term to the second term, just in 2 separate parts. (Photo below) This made […]
To Kill A Mockingbird- Thematic Paragraph
To Kill A Mockingbird- Thematic Paragraph How are people confined by gender stereotypes? Too many gender stereotypes may result in confined expectations. Throughout the story To Kill A Mockingbird, we see Harper Lee consults themes of how gender stereotypes can confine others to unrealistic expectations. Scout, a young girl residing in Maycomb grows up […]
Big Ideas- TKAM
If- Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, […]
Week 7- Math 10
One question that stumped me this week was a word problem based on finding a missing angle in the equation. At first, I thought that the 400 m would be thy hypotenuse. When I was informed that it was the horizantal of the mine shaft (the ground) , then I figured out that I needed to use […]
Solving Trig Equations
1) In this problem we need to find x, being an angle in the right triangle. To solve this missing angle, we use sine with the two side lengths we are given. (Opposite/Adjacent) Then, we move sine to the opposite side of the equation, leaving us with it’s opposite: sine-1. We multiply this with the fraction […]
