Dividing Fraction Games

Dividing Fraction Games Dividing fraction games is a tool which deals with the division of fractions in a gaming way. It involves the division of two numbers in this form a/b. The only condition in this case is that the value of b cannot be equal to zero; otherwise the result will become not defined. In this tool, division problem are presented in such a way that user will enjoy solving the problems just like a game. It can be better understood by the relevant examples. The relevant examples are shown below:- Question 1: Find out the value of unknown variable from the following parts given below: - A) 22/ b = 2 and B) a/ 22 = 3 Solution: Given 22/b = 2/1 By cross multiplication, we get 22*1 = 2* b Therefore, 22 = 2* b Now divide both sides by 2, 22/2 = 2*b /2 11 = b Therefore the value of b = 11 Question 2: If 4 pencils cost 8 $, then what will be the cost of two pencils. Solution: Given 4 pencils cost 8 $ In this problem, first we need to evaluate the price of one pencil Therefore, Cost of one pencil = 8/4 $ = 2 $ ----- equation 1 Now we have unit rate so we will evaluate the cost of two pencils. Therefore, Cost of two pencils = 2 * Cost of one pencil Cost of two pencils = 2 * 2$ (from equation 1) Therefore cost of two pencils = 4 $

What is A Stem And Leaf Plot - Online Math Tutoring

What is A Stem And Leaf Plot - Online Math Tutoring This is a plot which is represented by splitting a number into stem and leaf where stem will be on left and leaf is on the right place, generally stem and leaf shows the place value. For an example we can split 93 as 9 as a stem and 3 as a leaf. Example: - The following data represent the costs (in dollars) of a sample of 20 postal mailing by a company. 2.75 5.47 4.65 3.32 2.09 1.83 1.93 2.78 3.34 3.20 3.21 4.95 5.42 4.84 4.10 3.45 5.11 1.97 2.84 4.15 Using dollars as a stem and cents as a leaf construct a stem and leaf plot of the data. Solution: - Stem Leaf 1 | 83 93 97 2 | 09 75 78 84 3 | 20 21 32 34 45 4 | 10 15 65 84 95 5 | 11 42 47 Another example could be: - The following data are monthly rents paid by a sample of 20 households selected from a small city. 880 1081 1075 1023 775 965 960 985 932 850 825 915 1191 1035 1151 1175 952 1140 750 1140 Solution: - Each value in the data set contains either three or four digits. We will take the first digit for three-digit numbers and first two digits of four-digit numbers as stem. Stem Leaf 7 | 75 50 8 | 80 25 50 9 | 32 52 15 60 85 65 10 | 23 81 35 75 11 | 91 51 40 75 40

Free Textbook Market

Free Textbook Market Scott G. McNealy, the co-founder and former CEO of Sun Microsystems one of the largest sellers of server computers is launching an online hub for free textbooks and other course materials called Curriki, according to an article in The New York Times. Sun Microsystems was purchased by Oracle, a software manufacturer, in 2010. Curriki, a nonprofit organization, and many other organizations are building a trend of creating open-source, online versions of many existing textbooks. These online versions are much cheaper and sometimes free. Many traditional textbook publishers have been slightly modifying existing editions of textbooks and reselling basically the same version to increase profits. Textbook publishers have been doing so for years; however, this will soon end. We are spending $8 billion to $15 billion per year on textbooks in the United States, McNealy told The New York Times. It seems to me we could put that all online for free. Many of these open-source, online textbooks are written by retired, or groups of, retired teachers and professors. These retired teachers allow anyone to distribute these open-source textbooks in digital, printed, or audio format. Many schools and organizations are opening up to these textbooks. However, the process is not as simple as it may appear. The states of California and Texas are the two biggest consumers of textbooks because of their large student populations. Therefore, these open-source textbook creators are pushing to meet the requirements of these states. Most states have separate regulations for textbook usage. Both Texas and California have recently adjusted their textbook regulations to grant these open-source textbooks a fighting chance against the states arduous approval processes. The states are currently considering permitting these books. Other companies like Flat World Knowledge are competing against traditional textbook publishers at the college level. Flat World Knowledge has been giving select colleges free online versions of textbooks. Students can then buy a black-and-white version of the textbook for $30 or $60 for a color version, which is significantly cheaper than around the $200 mark that most traditional textbooks would cost. McNealy and other open-source textbook aficionados are still trying to garner enough support and money to bolster free or discounted open-source textbooks. However, these programs are becoming more credible, and it is expected that textbooks will become cheaper, and possibly free, eventually.

Managing yourself - Private Tutoring

Managing yourself BobbiM Mar 26, 2014 Are you hard for yourself to manage? Well you better learn fast if you want to succeed. Yeah, Im calling you out. Before you can manage your time effectively, you have to be able to manage yourself. We believe that the key to self-management is being able to organize and keep track of all the things that you have to do. College life is very hectic(what are we talking about! Life in General is very hectic). You may also have a job to help pay your way through college or you may have daily family obligations. The secret to getting organized is to create a balance among school, home, work, and social life. In order to create a balance between all the things you have to do and all the things you want to do, consider the following points: Treat college like a full time job. If you are a full-time student, academic work should take up about 40 hours each week. So for the next several years, consider college your full-time job. You might be in class only 15 hours per week, but the other 25 hours should be spent studying and preparing for class. If you break it down, it is really not so bad. You will spend 3-4 hours in class and 4-5 hours reading, studying, and preparing for your assignments each day. The rest of the time is left for other activities that you want to participate in or a part-time job. The good news is that unlike a full-time job, in college you have more control over when you want to schedule your classes and your study time. No one says that your studying must take place between 9:00-5:00 Monday through Friday-you are free to study whenever you want. Schedule your classes for your most alert times. Are you a morning person? A late afternoon person? An evening person? Are you up with the sun or are you lucky to be awake by noon? If you know you will never make it to an 8:00 AM class, dont schedule a class for that time if possible. Likewise, if you are totally useless in the afternoon, try to schedule your courses before lunchtime. Many students dont consider their class times as an issue to think about when making their course schedule, but because you have the luxury of creating your own schedule, you should try to tailor it to your needs as much as possible. Go to class. Although many professors dont take attendance, most still believe that going to class is a very important part of learning. Students who skip a lot of classes miss out on the important part of learning. Students who skip a lot of classes miss our on the important information that they can only get in class. Dont procrastinate. Procrastination is intentionally putting off work that needs to be done. This problem may actually be the toughest part of self-management for some students. Because you are in control of your own time, it is tempting to put off work until later. Its just human nature. But you can quickly become overwhelmed by all you need to do when you continually neglect your work.  Procrastination tends to become a bad habit and a way of life for some students. Excerpt from  College Success Strategies  by Sherrie L. Nist and Jodi Patrick Holschuh.

Visual approach:Boards are now available in a variety of choices â€" from the old school blackboards which are still so much fun, to magnetic or those meant for sanded letters. Use any one you want to draw or stick objects when you want to explain to your kid what basic concepts like addition or subtraction are about. Starting with visual understanding, and then moving to the mental calculation will imprint the concept very well in your child. I hope these will make a good start to having fun with math, for you and your kids.
