What I learned this week was how and when to use the quadratic formula. It is important to know how to use the quadratic formula because sometimes you can’t solve a quadratic equation with factoring or completing the square. You would use the quadratic formula as a backup when you can’t solve first with factoring…

What I learned this week is that when your solution is an even root, it can have two answers, a plus and minus sign, depending on how the even root is incorporated in the question. I think this is important to remember because it can be an easy thing to forget and you can lose…

I chose to teach this topic because I myself struggle with knowing when to stop factoring a binomial factor. To further factor a binomial factor there must be a difference of squares, and the variable must have an even exponent number. You can also factor it further if they share a greatest common factor(GCF). You…

What I relearned this week in math was how to factor trinomials. How I learned to factor trinomials is an easy but an efficient way. It is important to learn how to factor expressions because it helps finalize your answer and is simpler to read. To factor a trinomial, you want to find what can…

What I learned this week was how to turn a negative number positive in the denominator of a fraction. The method I recently learned is the same as bringing the negative from the denominator forward so it sits at the front of the whole fraction, but this method is harder to understand and solve because…

What I learned today in math was how to add/subtract radicals and how simplifying a radical question is easier to solve than simplifying it at the end. I chose this topic because I found it was important to know how to add and subtract radicals as I also learned how to multiply and divide them….

What I learned this week was how every number has an exponent and that every number has a coefficient, they just are sometimes invisible. This is important when using the zero exponent law and power of a product law. I chose to write about this because it is an easy thing to forget but impacts…

Something new I learned in math this week was learning to solve different radical problems. Radicals were very intimating for me before but when I tackled the problems in my workbook, it was a lot simpler than I thought. What helped me solve complicated radical questions was remembering BEDMAS and certain patterns that come with…
