This week we worked with polynomials and expanding them. There are different methods you can use when multiplying binomials such as using the claw, area models and illustrating algebra tile diagrams. At first, I enjoyed using Algebra tile diagrams but now, I find the claw strategy much more efficient.
Ex. (x+6)(x+2)
1.x⋅x=
2. x⋅2=2x and x⋅6= 6x this equals 8x
3. 6⋅2=12
Then, you add everything together. 
This week we started our introduction and review to polynomials. We reviewed drawing out diagrams that show multiplying polynomials.
x is shown as a stick
1 is shown as a tiny cube
ex. (2x+3)(3x-2)
I drew a right angle. On one side, I drew 2x+3 and on the other side, I drew 3x-2. I then multiplied each value.
In the picture above, I show how zero pairs (1 negetive and 1 positive) cancel eachother out.
When this happens, It value of the negetive and positive is 0. 1-1=0
to come up with the answer of 
Today, we were assigned a challenge question. I had to create a pyramid and create dimensions so the final volume equaled 990-1100 cm cubed. Below are my calculations and 3 dimensional pyramid with a total volume of 990cm cubed.
This week, our class spent a lot of time studying for the Unit 3 Measurements test. After every unit, I make a short note page summarizing the basic concepts we learned during the unit. Here is the note page I made for measurement.
This week I learned how to convert one form of measurement to another. I learned how to convert metric to imperial measurements, length to weight and volume etc.
Using this number line above, I am going to convert 8732cm into m.
This week, we reviewed a lot of concepts from math 9. I learned how to express numbers in scientific notation.
Ex. 2 354 becomes 2.354 ·
This happens because I moved the decimal place to the left 3 times therefore, the exponent is positive 3.
If we moved the exponent to the right, the exponent becomes negative (ex. 2.354 · 
This week, I learned how to change a radical exponent into an entire radical.
![\sqrt[3]{10}](https://s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B10%7D&bg=ffffff&fg=000000&s=0 "\sqrt[3]{10}")
This week, I learned how to switch negative exponents into fractions. They key to doing this is reciprocating. If the fraction is negative, you can switch the numerator and denominator to make the fraction positive.
