Solving multiplication with lines.

This is multiplication with lines. -->

The forward slashes are for the 12 and the backslashes for the 53.
There are three forward slashes for the 12.
one for the one a space and then another two for the 2 in 12. For 53 there are five for the five, a space and then three for the three. After you have done this with any multiplication, you separate the lines, (The curvy lines) then count up the dots/ intersection points inside each section. In this example there are 5 in the first, 13 in the second and six in the third. But you can't have more then 10 in one. So for the 13, you move the 1 up. Which makes the five a six.

But there are some pros and cons about this:
Pros:

  • Easy to work out.
Cons:
  • Big numbers makes WAY to many lines.

Translation


  1. Explain what a translation is.
A translation is when you move something from one place to another.
 
2. Explain how a vector works. What does it look like? What does the top number indicate? What does the bottom number indicate?
A vector works by giving the coordinates for something to move. The top number is to move 
left (Negative) or right, (Positive)   The bottom number is for Down, (Negative) or Up, (Positive)
 
3. Give a real life example of when translation is used.
When people move buildings, they need coordinates to know where to put it.

Is the book disappearing?

Over the years, hard cover books are very slowly being taking over by E-books. Last year Hard cover books made a 10% rise in sales and e-books down down 0.2% (forbes.com) Also a survey last year showed that nearly 70% of people with books think hard cover books won't die out until after 2016. (infodocket.com) Josh Catone thinks printed books will never die out because of their physical beauty, provenance, collectable and others in this article (Mashable.com)

From all of this information, I think that the book will still be here for a while, and e-books have a few years before catching up and being more popular then printed, hard cover books.

Drug research: LSD

LSD is a Class A drug that is a very high risk. LSD is sold in tablets "microdots," capsules or gelatine squares "Window Panes." Sometimes it is absorbed to paper then sold in cartoon character drawing squares. LSD is made by putting chemicals together in a dark room. The drug is taken just by eating it. The drug can make people delusional, depressed and very emotional.
