Algebra! Algebra! Algebra! What is the first impression when you hear the word algebra. You would probably look something like this.
Well, don’t worry you are not the only one here and that’s exactly what I look like when it class for algebra. Just these crazy number and letters with square root, to the power of some others number and keep asking you to find X when you littery see it’s right there, just give me an ache. However, that’s not all it is about algebra; at least that is what I thought. Even though I don’t like algebra and still don’t understand much about it. I’ll be here today and just tell you a little bit about my experience throughout the course of learning basic algebra and how has it changed my perspective on Math.
You see I’m just one of those people who’s doesn’t like math that much but doing pretty well on it. Having almost no issues solving problems, understanding new topic quickly and have a really decent score on tests. Yet all of those change when algebra comes in. There are just these strange feelings of learning algebra that make it seem certainly difficult for me and has decreased all of my confidants. I know that math is all of the patients, learn from your mistakes and resolve the problems again and again until you get it right. Anyhow the methods just don’t work with algebra at all, because no matter how many time I tried it’s just still doesn’t work.

And that’s when I decide to just leave some of the other unnecessary things beside leaning behind, and take it’s easy on Math. Surprisingly it works after a few days. I started to gets a little basic about what is an X and some simple equation about it. So after a few weeks past by, I started to gets my confidence back. It’s doesn’t matter if I’m still bad at algebra, but I’m sure I’ll get over the problems over one day if I keep being in this good spot of where I am now.

Here’s the one lesson I wanted you to know. Yes! you reading this behind the screen right now. Sometimes when you feel like you are stuck in a place and can’t find any solutions at all to get out. It is probably the time for you to just leave something behind, take a deep breath, and take everything very very calm and easy. This isn’t just about Math, it’s about friendship, money, learning, and everything as a whole. Because I was pretty sure that inside you there is always a little candle waiting to ignite. Thank you so very much and Have a nice day! 🙂
Weather reports, elevation, sea level, and funding are just some of the many other usages of the negatives number in the real-life activities.

In math, we might be probably thinking that negatives number are super rarely used to express an equation and don’t have that much of an importance to our everyday life. Yet beyond our quick judgments on negatives number, they are impressively useful not just in math but once it’s come to real-life situations. It helps us identify how deep or sallow the sea level is and warns us, human before we start making constructions or go for a quick relaxing swim. It tells us which floor are we on from the car park basement to the emergency room. It casting weathers temperature of the surrounding environment and alert us to stay warm. it is just extremely useful in so many virility of ways.

So next time when you ride on an elevator, climbing a mountain, or go for a nice summer swim. Just have a quick thought and appreciate the hard work of this Indian mathematician Brahmagupta. 3tvcq441m.
Have you ever thought of a way to have fun in class while also learning at the same time? Well turning your friends into the Avengers, bringing the black and white photo back into color, or making your own desktop wallpaper are just some of the infinite choices that you can do to fill up your free time. Here’s are just a few examples of the works that have described above and manage to gets it done this month.
However, with great knowledge about graphic designing and editing, you can literally turn any picture into your imaginary world within just a few clicks. Moreover, you’ll get to enjoy your time working alone in the AC listening to music and don’t have care much about your surrounding world, if you are interested in those sort of thing. So what are you waiting for? Get your Photoshop up and rock it on.
Right of the beat let me start off by asking you a question. What’s your first impression when you hear the word “CODING”. That is the right complicated number, symbol, command, and nonsense code. Well, that’s what I used to thought about what coding actually really is too. Yet there are much more about the world of coding then you actually know. One of the facts I wanted to point out today is Arts. Yes! Art isn’t that crazy. You can actually make arts in code. And here’s the proof.

And yes I do understand that it’s not looking like a Leonardo da Vinci painting, but in fact, looking like a drawing from the first graders. however for me, it’s actually looking really good in an abstract way, and that’s just the first step. Imagine what else you can do if you mastered the skill of coding. So what are you waiting for? GET ON CODING NOW!
I know you might be getting a little confused by the title. Well actually, if you simply put the word PI DAY + 3.14 you’ll get “|3. I D 4 Y”. It’s a really crazy Math calculation between words and numbers that I made up. Anyways let’s get into the main point today.
“Pi Day.” Eugene Science Center, 23 Feb. 2018, eugenesciencecenter.org/event/pi-day/.
PI has a really long history throughout humanity way dating back to around 4000 years ago. It’s was first calculated by the ancient Egyptian and Babylonians, continue on to Rome in the year 212 BC by a Greek mathematician Archimedes, spreading the discovery to country in Asia such as India and China, heading back to Europe, and go on all over places around the world by many Mmathematician until this 21 century.

Of course, there are more into the “π” symbol then just 3.14 and ancient calculation. Yet I couldn’t just explain it all to you in a paragraph, that is why I really recommend you to watch this really details explained video about “A Brief History of Pi”
“Pi Day.” Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation, 25 June 2019, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Day#/media/File:Prince-of-pi.jpg.
And last but not least is the PI day which is a holiday that was created to celebrate and honor the ancient math Mathematicians that discovered PI. The holiday started about 30 years ago by Larry Shawn(The Prince of Pi) in the year 1988 at the San Francisco Exploratorium.
Also here are some fun facts about Pi. Albert Einstein one of the most influential scientists in human history, also born on March 14th. Which is the same day that our great physicist Stephen Hawking has passed away in 2018.

Nowadays Pi has calculated to the 2.7 trillion digits beyond its decimals point. Yet we humans aren’t satisfied with that, because as long as the human civilization keep developing with our new technology and computer calculation; we are going to keep expanding the record of this irrational continuously infinite number
Science, it’s a subject that’s most of the people really obsessed with, as well as me. In science class, you get to explore the whole new world of facts which you never even knew before. As well as exploring, experiments are the best part of science. You get to see cool reaction between chemical, the explanation of flame, the dissolving process and even more! A few weeks ago, I conducted an experiment calls The Black Snake Experiment.
Google Search, Google, www.google.com/search?q=the%2Bblack%2Bsnake%2Bexperiment&rlz=1C1PRFI_en___KH794&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiw37Cu6bDhAhURTo8KHfMYAP4Q_AUIDigB&biw=1366&bih=695#imgrc=g7TjcHdbuqusNM:
The Blacksnake experiments is a process of showing about how combustion works. The first reactions occur is when sugar and baking soda mix combustion and left the carbon ash behind, and the gases of the carbon that has been burn out had flown up into the atmosphere and combine with oxygen, which turns it into Co2. Since Combustion is a part of the Carbon cycle, so having a Black snake experiment showing the process of combustion in a small scale, is a really informational, and exciting, experiment to conduct. After the flame is off the result left behind was really clear as had shown above. The Data showed how the Black Snake ash has developed and how the different flammability reaction has changed over time. Luckily while our experimental team conducting the experiment there were, and errors or alerts happen, since we were super careful with our powder measurement, and accurately follow each step.
print “I believe that at some point in your life, you might at least have try to learn a second language. However, all in all, the only two conclusions that have come out are you either you are good at it, or you just thought it’s way too hard to start a second language and already quite the class after the first week. Beyond that, this is what actually happens in coding. Since I was a little kid, I had always thought of being a professional coder being able to develop so many apps and earn a lot of cash, as I had thought coding is just some easy peace numbers and letters like in the Sudoku and the word cross puzzle. After all, I complete had exploited my mind once knowing what coding actually really is. Trying to master a coding language is much much tougher than my expectations. In the last round of my Technology/Multimedia, we were introduced to a very basic beginner friendly coding language which is Python. It’like you are trying to break a solid rock with your bare hand. Nonetheless, this is isn’t what could stop me there. And that’s is the same thing I you want to take away from this lesson too. No matter how hard it once starting out, no matter how impossible it is reaching to the top, but at least give it a try.”
