Polynomials 3.1 – 3.3

“an expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable(s).” 

The website I found to help with polynomials is called ” Mathisfun.com “. It shows how you use polynomials, gives you definitions of polynomials, constants, variables and exponents. It explains the different types of polynomials. For example monomial, binomial, trinomial. It also shows what is not a polynomial. It describes polynomials in a very easy way to understand. Here’s the link below!

Circle Geometry 7.1 – 7.4

“A circle is a simple closed shape in Euclidean geometry. It is the set of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre; equivalently it is the curve traced out by a point that moves so that its distance from a given point is constant”.

Circle geometry can be tough…luckily i have an amazing app to help! The app is called ” GeometrIQ .” This app is a visual picture game, so its fun too! Helps you learn, review and creatively apply you’re knowledge. Creatively apply you’re knowledge to solve geometry problems. It can test you depending on you’re skill level. Covers the basics of geometry and circle geometry swell.

Rational Numbers 2.1 – 2.5

“a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q.”

This sick website is called ” Mathisfun.” It gives you definitions of rational number, examples of rational numbers, examples of non rational numbers, examples of square roots. It also gives you links to other websites to study other questions. The layout on this website is awesome. Here’s the link.

I REALLY tried to get pictures for the other two but they wouldn’t upload:/

 

 

 

Mutation Story

Posted on by

Pt 1

Sjogren Syndrome’s Story

Hello, my name is Sjogren. I am a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltrates in exocrine organs. I am a gene but also a mutation… which means I am a cell missing a part. What happened to me as a gene is unknown as of right now, but doctors do have diets , treatments and drugs to cure the syndrome. The effects that Sjogren syndrome have on my hosts body (Bob Marks) are severe dry eyes and mouth and extremely droopy cheeks…not a very pretty sign. Sjorgen syndrome can affect people of both sexes. I am sure people don’t like having extremely dry mouth and eyes, and I’m sure they get many weird looks with their droopy cheeks…but Sjorgen syndrome does not have any life effects on the hosts body (Bob Marks).

 

Pt 2

Some questions I had to search in order to create this mutation story were:

SSB Syndrome ?, How is living with sjogren syndrome?, What happens to the body when you have sjogren syndrome? and What kind of gene is the sjogren syndrome? (although nobody knows yet).

Some new and familiar sites I used for this project were:

Google (familiar), Destiny (familiar), Urban dictionary (familiar) and Niams.nih.gov (new)

http://www.niams.nih.gov/Health_Info/

The process I used to investigate this syndrome for this project was just going to multiple sites and searching each point I was to research and making sure each website gave me roughly the same answer. Then I would put it into my project and move to the next point. I made sure to understand everything before I put it into my edublog project and I made sure everything made sense and anything I used from a website I was sure to not copy and paste and just re write the sentence in my own words.

Matter Matters

Posted on by

Define:

Matter may be hard to understand because its a very big concept with lots of components. It is not an easy subject and it can be a lot to take in.

Dream:

To conduct an experiment, make a video, make a quiz, make a game out of matter ect. ect. 

Deliver:

Here is what we know about matter!

There are 3 states of matter. Liquid, Solid and Gas. Matter is anything that takes up space. Or has mass or volume. All matter is made up of atoms.

Debrief:

We had good ideas about how to present our facts about matter. Our delivery could have been better!

 

“Taming of the Shrew” Stop Motion Induction Scene Project

Posted on by

Our project is based upon the play, “Taming Of The Shrew” written by William Shakespeare. Our group includes Molly, Sama, Savannah, and Mario. Molly and Sama filmed and directed it, sama wrote the narration, Molly wrote this paragraph, Savannah read the narration multiple times after the app kept on crashing, until she got it perfect. And Mario was on prop duty. in the play the induction, meaning the main story was, the characters pulling the prank on Christopher Sly. The inset of the story was when the players were performing a play for Sly and the page. It was the inset of the story because, it was a play inside of a play. In our project we showed induction and the beginning of the inset. We used the stop motion to show a way of creating a scene by using multiple photos. It created a way to show movement, and creativity. Some challenges that occurred during throughout this project was, the stop motion app kept on crashing, and it did not save our narration, and we had to redo all of it. Throughout this project we have learned many words from Shakespearian times, and discovered what entertainment was like back then.
