Today has been definitely a long day! A bit tiring, but that's probably just me. Anyways! Today we learned about Hypatia, Venn Diagrams, Polynomiography, etc.
About Hypatia
Hypatia was born in Egypt, but moved to Greece which made her the 1st Greek female Mathematicians, as far as we know. A lot of people had attended her lectures. Sadly, her works were burned in the library of Alexandria when the Arabs conquered Greece. She was into politics, dressed like a scholar, and even drive her on chariot. But since she was different from other women, the people murdered her.
About Venn Diagrams & Sets
Today I learned about different things in the Venn Diagram world. "U" means typically represented by circles or ovals. It is mainly represented as a large rectangle. An upside down "U" is within the rectangle.
About Polynomials & Roots of Equations
Whilst learning about polynomials, it felt sort of like a review from 7th grade since towards the end of the year we were introduced to this since we'd be starting with it in our 9th math as 8th graders. But I did learn about some things that I didn't learn last year. I did not know that the roots are called "0" in the equation. Another thing that I enjoyed relearning was the Slope. That was of the main things that I enjoyed about math.

Hi Kiki sorry you had a rough night on Monday. I am glad that you are a brave girl. Learn a lot and have fun. Love, Mom
