Help With Math Word Problems - How To Help Your Child Succeed

Help With Math Word Problems - How To Help Your Child SucceedIf you are looking for help with math word problems, you should not settle for the run of the mill advice or gizmos that the internet offers. This type of so-called solutions don't really do anything to help students get better at math, rather they're just another way to try to control them.One of the most common types of solutions is the one where you give your child a set of material and ask them to solve them. They will eventually try and get the answers by counting but since the number of possible solutions is far greater than the number of choices, they usually don't even get close to getting to the answer. This is why it's important that you start teaching your children math early.The process begins with developing a grasp of the steps that go into solving math problems. It is always better to focus on learning your subject without having to follow a bunch of old tried and true methods. This will give you the ability to choose what works best for your child. You can even have a little fun with it while teaching.You will notice a big difference in the problem solving abilities of your children after they start studying math. Some kids won't be able to handle their homework and it's no wonder because the way that they were taught at home was incorrect.Another option is to use practice problems. Make sure that you have plenty of practice problems so that you can get them down quick and remember them. This way you don't need to use a bunch of materials that have no real meaning or they may start to become familiar with the way the problems work.Drawing is one of the great ways to have a little fun with your child. You can make up a theme for the coloring pages that show how different things are made. You can even have them draw animals and use different words to represent the animals.Help with math word problems are great if you're trying to teach your child how to solve math problems. It is really no different than other forms of learning, which is why parents want to avoid teaching their kids without taking the time to make sure that their efforts are targeted towards helping them learn how to excel in their studies.

Classroom Management Homework Help Strategies

Classroom Management Homework Help Strategies Classroom Management Strategies for Every Teacher People become teachers because they care about children and their futures and because they are passionate about helping students achieve their potential. However, teaching is a not an easy joband one of the most challenging aspects for many teachers is figuring out how to effectively manage the classroom. If you ever have trouble keeping your students on task or have been thrown off course by troublesome students, you may need ideas to better manage your classroom and redirect the focus to student learning. Here are a number of battle-tested strategies that teachers can put to work in any classroom, as shared in David Adamsons Classroom Management: 24 Strategies Every Teacher Needs to Know: Use social cues One of the best ways to communicate with students about appropriate behavior is to state a desired behavior that you want to see in class. Attribute the behavior to a specific student and affirm the behavior as a great example for the other students. What to say: Thanks to table 3 for having their eyes on me. I see that John has started working on the assignment; thank you, John. Establish time limits Plan out your day carefully, which will help you keep your students engaged. Share your expectations of time limits and schedule. What to say: Ill give you about five minutes for this task. Everyone needs to be in their seats in 30 seconds, please. Manage your transitions Transitions from task to task can be challenging and time consuming, with students getting distracted or misbehaving. However, if you plan for transitions and explain carefully what you want students to do and how much time they have to do it, you can minimize that wandering or waiting time. What to do: Be prepared, get students attention, explain what you want students to do, confirm their understanding, give a signal to begin, give a time limit and start the next activity. Show respect The classroom environment cannot be productive without respectbetween you and your students and among the students themselves. You cannot demand respect; however, you can exhibit respectful behavior toward students, thereby influencing how they respond to you. What to do: Be polite, avoid sarcasm, be on time and ready to teach and maintain a dignified student environment. Keep a brisk pace Students today are used to fast-paced interaction. You can minimize behavioral problems by picking up the pace of a lesson, introducing interesting activities and having extra activities on hand to fill gaps of time. What to do: Plan ahead, pose questions that invite critical thinking, and try different mediums for reinforcement of lessons. Intervene in the moment When needed, give simple reminders to bring unfocused or disruptive students back on task. What to do: Communicate nonverbally with a look or facial expression, change your tone of voice or move closer to the misbehaving student. Teaching is an important and rewarding career with many wonderful aspects to it, but it certainly has its challenges as well. Managing classroom behavior and expectations is an essential part of the job that allows you to maintain control of your classroom and keep the focus on learning.

An Open Letter to the Woman Who Tried to Pee On My Car

An Open Letter to the Woman Who Tried to Pee On My Car Photo by Romi34 via Flickr I am not mad at you. I am mad at myself. I am mad for not seeing the artistry with which you flicked up your khaki skirt in one fluid motion. A motion practiced and executed with the precision and ease of Tiger Woods golf swing. Underneath your skirt were black men’s briefs, your whitey tighties transcending color and logic. You bent down, arched your back, and stuck out your chest. You pressed your pumpkin butt-cheeks against my door handle like a kiss. You paused, hands on knees. There was a moment. A moment that holds so much beauty and significance, that the only appropriate action is to be silent. To try and absorb what you can, though you know you’ll never be able to fully appreciate or understand it. And what I did nextâ€"what I did to that momentâ€"I will regret for the rest of my life. I reached over and pounded my fist against my passenger window. Hey, I shouted, Hey! She turned around and stared at me, and I stared back. Those eyes. You were about to paint the Mona Lisa before me, but I panicked. I panicked the way men panic when confronted with power they can’t understand. All too often, invitations get lost in the mail, and fear knocks on your door when appreciation was meant to. I’m sorry, she said. She pulled her skirt back down as best she could, and took a step forward. I’m so sorry, she said as she turned her head around a final time, taking those eyes with her. No, I am sorry. I don’t know what you had in mind. I don’t deserve to know. I’d like to think you would have doused the flames of conformity with a hearty stream of Gatorade and string-cheese infused pee. I’d like to think you would have lifted the societal veil of deception from my eyes the way you lifted your skirt over those confusingly bumpy hips. I’d like to think you would have not only urinated on my car, but on my heart. If you return to me, I will take your hand. We will waddle our way to Washington, march up the steps of the Lincoln memorial, climb up on Abe’s shoulders, and pee on his face. But you won’t. You’re gone and not coming back. I sent you away, like so many before me. A bathroom? Why? A toilet? Says who? I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at myself.

Irvine SAT Tutoring Tips A Timeline to the New SAT in June

Irvine SAT Tutoring Tips A Timeline to the New SAT in June Tips From an Irvine Private SAT Tutor: A Timeline to the New SAT in June Students have had a week or so to relax after AP exams. However, students who have opted to take the new SAT on June 4th need to make sure they are ready for that important exam. Although juniors will have another opportunity to take the SAT in the fall, its much easier to simply get this test out of the way and achieve a good score the first time around. Of course, this is easier said than done but students can do a few things to prepare for the SAT between now and the June 4th testing date. Hopefully, students will have been working with a study group or tutor to make sure they understand the differences between the old exam and the new version. Regardless of how much studying a student has already completed it’s smart to review before the exam and follow the time-tested test prep strategy between now and the day of the exam. 1. Review the test booklet and online study materials Whether a student is working on a test booklet or focusing solely on online study materials, its important that they review what theyve been doing in the last few weeks. Students should also go through their personal notes as well as work with their tutor to identify any topics or skills that are still giving them trouble. Review is an important part of preparing for the SAT exam especially if students have stopped their study to have prepared for the AP exams back in mid-May. Math formulas and editing skills should be fresh in students’ minds when they enter the classroom on testing day (READ: Last Minute SAT Study Guide). 2. Schedule a review sessions with an Irvine SAT tutor If students havent worked with their tutor for a while, itd be a good idea to schedule a couple of review sessions. Most tutors keep notes regarding what each of their students excels in as well as what their weaknesses might be. With all of this studying occurring in the spring, students themselves may have forgotten skills that need to be developed. However, a few hours with a tutor can usually rectify this issue in no time. 3. Work on any weak areas Every student possesses strengths and weaknesses. Some students excel in math but struggle with grammar while others have an eye for punctuation but may have difficulty reading a chart or graph. Hopefully, students have identified which areas they struggle in over the last several weeks. Now is their last chance (for the June testing date, anyways) to improve. If students have yet to determine their specific weaknesses, they are strongly encouraged to take a practice exam or answer practice questions offered by the College Board to help troubleshoot (READ: 5 Awesome SAT Apps). 4. Dont forget to review strong areas While focusing on areas of improvement, many students simply forget to study stronger areas. This can lead to a lot of frustration when students have an answer right on the tip of their tongue but cant quite remember it. This is often because a student forgot to go over subjects they excel in. If a student hasn’t reviewed their stronger areas in a few weeks, it’s a good idea to do this now. 5. Work on concentration Students are also encouraged to work on their focus and concentration since they will be sitting in a testing room for several hours. Most people, students or working adults, struggle to sit down and focus on one activity for several hours at a time without taking a substantial break. The short breaks students get during the SAT are only long enough to allow them to stretch and have a sip of water. Its a great idea to work on this concentration by taking a practice exam in its entirety. This way students will know what to expect the day of the test.
