Calculus 12 – desmos project
Describe a Strength that you think you have regarding what we have covered so far in Calculus 12. It could be about a specific curricular competencies or the core competencies. I can sometimes break down challenging questions step by step, recognize the rules to apply and apply them accurately. Describe a Stretch (something that you still need […]
CRISPR-Cas9
Introduction CRISPR-Cas9 is an innovative technology that allows scientists to edit DNA with accuracy. In our Anatomy & Physiology 12 class, we explored this concept through both an interactive physical paper model and a digital simulation from the BioInteractive website. Both of these tools helped us understand the mechanics of CRISPR-Cas9, including how it targets, […]
Week 10 – Pre-Calc 11 – Equivalent forms of the quadratic functions
Key Vocabs: General form: Standard/Vertex form: Parabola: The graph of every quadratic function is a curve which is called a parabola Axis of symmetry: A straight line that divides through the parabola into two identical parts For our 10th week of Pre-Calc 11, our class began to notice some clues that could lead us into […]
Week 6 – Pre-Calc 11 – factoring trinomials
Key Vocabs: Factoring: breaking down a number or mathematical objects (if possible) into a product of several factors Trinomial: a polynomial with 3 terms Terms: numbers, variables or the product of number and variables For the 6th week of math, our class slowly moved on with factoring binomials and trinomials. It’s important to understand this concept of factoring […]
Week 4 – Pre-Calc 11 – simplifying expressions with variable radicands
Key Vocabs: Like terms: terms whose variables and their exponents are the same (ex. and ) Index: the small floating number that appears after a number or letter. Indices show how many times a number or letter can be or has been multiplied (ex. & ) Radicand: a number or expression inside the radical symbol (ex. ) Variable: a […]
Week 3 – Pre-Calc 11 – radicals with variables
Key Vocabs: Variable: an alphabet or term that represents an unknown number, value or quantity. Radical: the symbol that is used to denote square root or nth roots Root: a value that can be multiplied by itself to give the original number (ex. = 8) The 3rd week of math, our class moved on to […]
