This week in Math we began our unit on Polynomials, starting off on our review of the Grade 9 Polynomials unit and applying something new towards the end of the week.

(Insert picture here)

I can grasp the concept of Polynomials easily as it requires only substitution and logical thinking. However my only experience in it was doing things algebraically, this week I learnt (or reviewed, depending) on how to do algebra tiles again as well as area diagrams. Those would be my “a-ha” moments as before, solving it alone as an equation would be my only method; now that I’ve learnt two other methods, I can apply it to different questions in the workbook.
