Example: x2 -3xx2 - 9= x(x - 3)(x+3) (x-3) = xx+3 (You can factor out (x-3), into ones because they are like factors) this will leave you with xx+3 -What is reduced form? When all factors common to numerator and denominator have been removed. An example is above ^. The reduced form of the above expression would be xx+3 -What are like factors?

1. Computer a program to write a function power() to raise a number m to a power n. The function power() will take a float value for m and n will be an integer value. a default value of 2 to be used to make the function for calculating the squares in case this argument is omitted. The main function has to be written that takes the value for both m and n as input from the user for testing this function.

What Kayden and I did first is get on EV3 robot out and connect it to bluetooth, after that we did that we started to think about how we were going to find out how many rotations that we were going to need to get it from start to finish. So, we got a ruler and since we already knew one rotation was equal to 7 inches we guesstimate that it would be about 5 rotations. When we tried it is was still a little short of its goal, so we added 0.5 to it and it barely went over its goal. Finally we took away 0.08 and tried it and it landed exactly on its target. So our final solution was 5.42 rotations at 27% would get us from the start to the finish exactly.

Often enough teachers come into the education field not knowing that what they teach will affect the students in the future. This article is about how these thirteen rules are taught as ‘tricks’ to make math easier for the students in elementary school. What teachers do not remember is these the ‘tricks’ will soon confuse the students as they expand their knowledge. These ‘tricks’ confuse the students because they expire without the students knowing. Not only does the article informs about the rules that expire, but also the mathematical language that soon expire.

Based on what the chapter mentioned about “universal” symbols, I can probably say, that possibly there is no such sign as a universal symbol. The example produced by the book’s author suggest that symbols can be misunderstood, for example, I can relate with the author, I would have never thought that someone would be able to confuse the ladies restroom sign, with the men’s restroom sign, yet it happen, and now I feel the need of deciphering future symbols I see to prevent confusion in my life. The Cosmic Postcard on the Pioneer 10, could definitely cause confusion as well. I can personally convey to the “universal” symbol of good will, or hello, but I can see how a different culture that is not accustomed to the symbol can misunderstand it, or simply not understand it at all.

The purpose of the aside comments in the parentheses is to show what the parents are thinking and their point of view from back home and to show how the parents affected the girl into running away. The parentheses in the lyrics such as “We gave her most of our lives” are all similar in some ways and have a different point of view. The difference between the main lyrics and the parentheses is that the parentheses are told by the parents’ point of view while the lyrics narrated by an objective third person point of view and is based on the girl. So, in the parentheses, the first chorus part “We gave her most of our lives... We gave her everything money could buy” is about when the parents first reaction to the note.

Life is filled with all shapes and color without a definite reason of pattern, thus randomness. The piece The Beginning, displays the excitement of all changes life represents. With the usage of the programming software Processing, shapes and colors were used to embody this idea. Each placement of the shape and its color were randomly generated, so the same outcome can not be replicated twice. Thus, illustrates how the same emotion can never be replicated.

Socio-mathematical norms, distinct from social norms due to their specification to aspects of a mathematics classroom, (Yackel, E. & Cobb, P. 1996) are evident in the above transcript. The socio-mathematical norms present included the use of subject specific terminology, such as theoretical, independent and probability, teacher questioning, validation and explanation, student justification, problem-solving and the inclusion of both independent and collaborative work. Seen throughout the transcript the teacher constantly questions the student’s beliefs and asks them to justify their ideas before stepping into either validate their answers or explain the correct concept. This method of drawing out the conversation, and getting students involved,

I think the use of this kind of language is almost exclusive for the context of the internet, especially with the usage of symbols like "@" and "#". Use the language outside the context of the internet are usually for the irony and sarcastic effect. For instance, people use hashtags in text messages to indicate that they are not being serious or being ironic. Another example is the Jimmy Fallon skit we watched during the lecture. It uses an excessive amount of hashtag in the context of the oral conversation to achieve the sarcastic and comedy effect.

When the imperialism of the 19th and 20th centuries revisits us now in the form of globalization, the inherent class conflict is more intense and complex than it had ever been in the past. To ensure its dominance over science, technology, economy, media, etc. for ever, Anglo-American English, the lingua franca of globalization, seeks control over all aspects of language and translation. George Steiner who tried to compose ‘a poetics of translation’ has specially discussed how the authoritarian ascendancy of English over other languages is pushing the languages of Africa and Amazonia into premature death and extinction9. Steiner is afraid that, when under the spell of market economy English brushes aside other languages, it will lose its own ability to address reality creatively.

After lunch, I sat in my Algebra class pondering on the commencement of math. As my teacher explored the idea of algebraic equations, I did some exploring of my own. I pulled my Algebra book out of my backpack and flipped through the pages. After a good ten minutes I realized the answer was not located within those pages. The history of mathematics was too convoluted to be found in a 293 page book; so, I started my own research.

Observation 9: Math Each day, students do something that is a part of their circle time and it covers much of their math learning for the entire day. At the start of the day, a student is picked to be pointer and the math fun begins. They start with the calendar and count how many days they have been in school that month with one-to-one correspondence. They go over the days of the week, the month, what the previous day was, and the next day will be.
