... use the distributive property to take away the parentheses. When you use the distributive property, your equation will be 14x- 8-8x+24=3x+31. Then you have to combine like terms. Now that you've combined, your equation will be 6x+16=3x+31. The next step is to subtract 3x from both sides. Now your equation will be 3x+16=31. The next step is to subtract 16 from both sides. Your equation has been reduced to 3x=15. The last step is to divide both sides by 3 and your answer is x=5. There are also many steps needed to check a problem. First, you rewrite the problem. Under that you write the problem substituting all the x's with 5. Next, you evaluate the problem ...
... children discover feelings of self-worth, confidence, independence and fear (both healthy and unhealthy). Habituation will be very important, because this provides a window into the child's memory. The ratio for the 8-12 month class is 1 to 5. Therefore resulting in a better communication level and a higher quality of education. Friendship Learning Center puts great emphasis on the individuality of each child to ensure that this period of bonding is rooted in a positive environment. In the 18-24 month program, they will be focusing on how to communicate as well as self-help skills- feeding and dressing. Friendship affords this special group many opportunitie ...
... to meet non-school costs such as: police and fire department expenditures and public health. All are in competition with public schools. The schools in these areas are over crowded, limited in supplies, under-staffed and unfit for teaching. Employing and keeping young teachers is a struggle because of lower salaries than what is offered at schools in the suburbs. Kozol points out that politics play an important role in how monies are distributed. He states that: "In Illinois, as elsewhere in America, local funds for education raised from poverty taxes are supplemented by state contributions and by federal funds, although the federal contribution is extremely s ...
... This is just one of the many examples that illustrate this point, and that makes developing a working definition of the term psychology extremely difficult to attain. The range of topics that are considered psychology is very surprising to a newcomer in the field. Everything from determining which parts of the brain are responsible for controlling certain senses to analyzing the influence of society on behavior and development is considered “psychology”. So it is obvious that my original definition was extremely limited, but it has now been vastly broadened. In addition to recognizing the broad range of topics that psychology covers, I also realized t ...
... parts of the human body, create amazing computer graphics, and compress digital images. Fractals are about us, and our existence, and they are present in every mathematical law that governs the universe. Thus, fractal geometry can be applied to a diverse palette of subjects in life, and science - the physical, the abstract, and the natural. We were all astounded by the sudden revelation that the output of a very simple, two-line generating formula does not have to be a dry and cold abstraction. When the output was what is now called a fractal, no one called it artificial... Fractals suddenly broadened the realm in which und ...
... morning "getting-up" process, thus reducing tardiness in school that I know is a problem in my first period class. The enforcement of uniforms will relieve the tension between the new students and the students that are already there. The uniforms will expedite the process of making new friends for the new student since the uniforms will help the new student feel a sense of "belonging". This helps the majority of the school becoming friends with each other. This obviously helps the class and also the school as a whole, as there will be less fights and controversy between students. Uniforms will build a sense of unity within the school. The stu ...
... would not make fun of the students who do not know how to dress up or student who just wear weird clothing. Some students who may feel this really upsetting because they want to look different everyday except wearing the same uniform everyday. School is a place where kids come to learn and educate themselves. So, there is no use for students to come to school wearing brand clothing or some other weird style. Students should concentrate on their studies more then looking who is wearing what kind of clothing. Wearing unifoms will make them take pride in themselves because the uniforms itself encourge the students to join the school and makes it a safe environment. ...
... This method of teaching produced a graduate with a well rounded education, and prepared him for further development of career skills. With the exception of those who did not apply themselves, the system worked. Today America's educators take a new approach in the classroom. The focus of education has moved to measuring what students can do, rather than what they understand. This is the core principle of Outcomes Based Education (OBE). An outcome, by definition, is something that follows as a result or consequence. So OBE then, is an approach to education where the end result is the most important factor. This is very important in understanding what OBE is, and wha ...
... decides when students have to go to school? WHo decides when students shouldn't have to go to school? This is a question in which I personally have a lot of difficulty with. Why does the board of education and the federal government get to decide when and where students should attend. Why don't the students get some sort of say on those issues? I felllike I should be able to have a vote on when we should get our breaks and when school should start and end. In the real world you are able to make a decision like that. I feel like there should be more consideration given to the students and than maybe there would be not as many problems in the school systems ...
... averages are low, they can still go to universities that don't require high averages. Therefore, many students can easily study in this highest level of education. However, all courses are mandatory in Taiwan. High school students study the same courses together no matter what they plan to take in the universities, and thus it is hard for them to know what they are interested in. After graduation from high school, students have to write a major exam on all kinds of courses to achieve a score, which determines if they are satisfied for their chosen studies in the universities. Each year, there is a lot of failure students from getting in the universities and th ...
