Module 1: A Not Ruin(ed) Trip

☆.｡.:*

Once again, a long ride back to NOHS after a long day of filming a movie trailer for Araling Panlipunan at the Ruins. We reached our homes, with our groupmates already starting to plan the editing process of our trailer while the three of us reflected on what we had just experienced during the filming day.

It was such a tiring, productive, and memorable day; these kinds of days rarely happen, and we're thankful that it did. It's amazing how a busy day becomes so memorable, be it for the better or worse. Days like these, where we pour all our time into them, develop us as a whole, and in the end, we always learn something new.

To sum up everything, we learned that having well-planned events doesn't always guarantee they will go smoothly, just like how a treasure map marks the spot, but it doesn't always mean the treasure is at the center of the spot.

PS:

From Nejie: I also learned that going to places I wouldn't usually go isn't that bad of an experience; in fact, I actually enjoyed it.

From Iris: I definitely enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotions I experienced during the filming. I wouldn't say that I enjoyed it during the filming, but I can surely see the fun I had after everything. I ran around crazily, chasing all of my group members, trying to slap makeup on their faces. I mimicked blood and bruises, as well as royal makeup. I must say that I feel proud about my performance, as it was my first time putting my questionable makeup skills to use. I definitely learned that one should be confident in using a skill they have learned, even if they are not an expert.

From Sophie: There's a lot of emotion to feel; at first, I was literally excited, but that quickly faded when the rain started pouring down. I also get nervous while acting and saying my lines because I can't help but worry that I'll make a lot of mistakes. Tiredness also got in the way. When I got home from the shoot, I felt so exhausted that I couldn't move. Finally, the feeling or emotion that really stood out for me was happiness. Not only did I get to spend time with my classmates, but we also got to work together as a team, and I could tell that we worked well together.

Module 2: Strong Monsoon Winds

☆.｡.:*

The winds gush through and follows the bird's calls. Such as this week that went by a breeze, we can't say for sure that it was a good ride though. Especially when we got stunned by the Research summative test, but oh well, it's more room for improvement. Aside from Research, we learned about cell division in Biology which is mitosis and meosis. In Biotechnology, we learned about the effects of genetic mutation and the syndromes that comes with it.

As for Math, it was properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal, conditions for parallel lines, and the possible measures of the third side. While in English nothing happened because our teacher was busy for an assesment. On the other hand, in MAPEH we learned about East Asian arts. And lastly, ESP, wherein we learned about being honest. That basically makes up our week this time, not too extreme, not too underwhelming either. Just like a warm nissin cup noodles during a frigid day, everything must be balanced, as it should be.

PS:

From Nejie: Rushed na kami tenk you.

Adventures in Ink: The Space Mission by Hamnah Hareem

Welcome to “Adventures in Ink,” a thrilling series where every day, for the next few months, you’ll delve into the imaginative world of grade 7 and 8 students’ stories. As part of their term project, these young writers have crafted tales filled with suspense, adventure, and of course, the undead. While I’ve made minimal corrections for grammar and spelling, each story remains the original work…

Place value, ordering and rounding

Multiplying and dividing decimals mentally

Multiply decimals can be tricky yet it can be as simple as multiplying whole numbers. My steps on multiplying decimals:

count how many digits available after the decimal point from numbers you want to multiply. Store that info.

ignore the decimal point (the decimal numbers become whole numbers). Do the multiplication between numbers.

return the decimal point based on the info from step 1

For example: 0.3 x 5. (1) In total from these two numbers, we have 1 digit behind the decimal point. It means the result will have 1 digit behind the decimal point. (2) ignore the decimal point of these 2 numbers. 3 X 5 = 15. (3) return the decimal point. How many digit behind the decimal point is for the result? 1. So the answer is 1.5.

Another example : 0.04 x 1.2. (1)In total, we have 3 digits behind the decimal point. It means the result of this calculation will have 3 digits behind the decimal point. (2) ignore the decimal point. 4 x 12 = 48. (3) Based on step 1, the result will have 3 digits behind the decimal point. Hm, the result only has 2 digits! No worries, just add 0 . The result is 0.048.

For dividing decimal, I will use my knowledge on fraction and equivalent fraction . My steps on dividing decimals:

write them as a fraction

find the equivalent fraction with the goal of eliminating decimal point

do the division

Exercise time ! Work these out mentally. The answer will be available at the end of the post.

1.3 x 0.02

24 : 0.04

(12 x 0.2) : (0.3 x 0.2)

Multiplying and dividing by powers of 10

Things you need to remember about powers of 10

Multiply a number by the power of 10 with the negative index is the same as divide the number by the power of 10.

Divide a number by the power of 10 with the negative index is the same as multiply the number by the power of 10.

Exercise :

Rounding

For this topic, you need to understand about the place value, significant figure and decimal place. We jump directly to the example.

If, I want to round 3 451.67 to the nearest whole number, it means I will keep the number until 3 451. Yet, there is a possibility that the last digit 1 changes. Depending on the digit after 1. If the digit after 1 is 5 or more, the last digit of the number will be increased by 1. If not, stay the same. Look on the number, after 1 we have 6. It is more than 5. So the last digit is increased by 1. The result is 3 452. The result will be until the digit that takes the position of the nearest whole number.

Another example using the same number. I will round the number to 3 significant figures (3 S.F.). I will keep the number until 3 45. Now, check the digit after 5. 1 is less than 5, stay the same. After that, check the original value position of 5. It is ten. On the result, 3 45, the 5 takes the position of one. Hm, we need to add something so the 5 takes the position of 10. Yeah, we need to add a 0 after 5. The result is 3 450.

Order of operations.

BEDMAS : Bracket, Exponention (power), Division Multiplication and Addition Subtraction.

Note: if you have division and multiplication or addition and subtraction on the same problem, you need to do it from left to right.

I will give you a problem : work out the value of this expression when x = 2 and y = -3 for 4x^2 - y

The answer is 0.026 ; 600 ; 40 ; 15 000 ; 0.012 ; 342 000 ; 19

See you !

Sequences and functions

Generating sequences

A sequence is an ordered set of numbers/ terms arranged according to a specific rule. For example : 3, 7, 11, 15, 19. This sequence has 5 terms, in order according to a specific rule, added by 4.

There are two types of sequence:

Linear Sequence : each term will be increased or decreased by the same number. For example : 5.3, 4.5, 3.7

Non-Linear Sequence : each term will be increased or decreased by a different number. For example : 2, 4, 8, 16

Finding the nth term

You can find the value of a term based on its position. It is called as an nth term. The value of n is the position of the term. Here is the general way to construct the nth term of 3, 7, 11, 15, 19.

find the rule of the sequence

multiply it with the value of n

find the value of term before term position 1

place the result of step no 3 next to the result of step no 2

Now, we will execute them. (1) the rule of the sequence is "added by 4". (2) multiply it with the value of n, 4n. (3) find the value available before term position 1 is 3 - 4. The result is -1. (4) place the result of step no 3 next to the result of step no 2, 4n - 1. So the nth term of 3, 7, 11, 15, 19 is nth= 4n - 1

With this nth term, we can find the value of term in any position! For example, we want to know the value of term position 121 of the above sequence, 3, 7, 11, 15, 19. It means the value of n is 121. The nth term of this sequence is 4n - 1. Substitute the n with 121. It becomes nth term = (4 x 121) - 1. The result is 483. The value of term position 121 for this sequence is 483.

What will be nth term of 5.3, 4.5, 3.7? and find the value of term position 98. The answer of this question will given at the end of the post.

Finding the inverse of a function

Function can be in 3 different forms, an equation, a mapping and an function mapping. When you give an input to a function, you will get an output.

The example of function in the form of an equation is y = 3x - 2. From this equation, we can say " to get the value of y, we need to multiply the value of x by 3 and minus it by 2". The conclusion, x is the required input so that the function or the calculation can be executed in order to get the output, y.

The look of the mapping form for the same function is x → 3x - 2. The most left, x, is the input. The next one is the process should be done to the value of x (function) in order to get the output, y.

Above is the example of a function machine. X is the input to the function. The function will multiply the value of x by 3 and minus it by 2. The result of the function becomes the value of y. Y is the output.

The process or the function is read from left to right. When we read it in the opposite way, we can called it as inverse of the function. Here are the steps for inversing a function.

change the x to y and y to x

use the left arrow instead of right arrow

change the operation to the opposite one , minus to plus, plus to minus, multiply to divide, divide to multiply, square to square root, square root to square

Here is the result of inversing the function using a function machine.

The result of inverse the function :

in the form of equation is y = (x + 2)/3

in the form of mapping is x → (x + 2)/3

Work out the inverse function for y = (x + 1)/2. The answer of this question will given at the end of the post.

NOTE: When I want to find the inverse of the function, if it is possible, I will use a function machine. This question looks simple but if you don't understand well the function is and you don't know very well about the order of operations, you might make a mistake for this question.

The answer for:

What will be nth term of 5.3, 4.5, 3.7? nth = -0.8n + 6.1

find the value of term position 98. (-0.8 x 98) + 6.1 = -72.3

The inverse function for y = (x + 1)/2. y = 2x - 1

Thank you.
