Math Failures Are Not Regrettable - Why

Math Failures Are Not Regrettable - Why Math is a subject which is much dreaded. Once students falter in the subject, they feel frustrated and do not want to continue with their Math studies. Truly speaking, Math failures are the ones that step up subject success. How do Math failures turn out negative? It is very common to err and very, very common to err in Math. So, Math failures occur at any point of time. Kids who are very good at computational skills may go wrong in their conceptual approach to Math topics at advanced level. Or it can be that they misconstrue Math symbols and fail miserably as in fixing the unknown values in Algebra. It is only the attitude that turns Math failures negative and makes students develop phobia and anxiety about the subject. Who make a mess of Math failures? Primarily it is parents and teachers who make a mess of Math failures. Most of the parents have Math anxiety on their part and they enforce the same on their kids. When kids face a miserable situation like poor grades in a Math test, they jump to the conclusion that their kids are like them and they will not be able to accomplish Math successfully. Read Also:  A Survey of Mathematical Education. The Causes of Student Dropout Most of the teachers have a tendency to discourage kids once they fail in a Math test.

Changing The Way We Think About IQ and ADHD

Changing The Way We Think About IQ and ADHD During discussions about ADHD and IQ, two common myths often enter the conversation: (1) Kids with ADHD are smarter or more creative than kids without ADHD, but they simply dont apply themselves, or (2) the opposite view, that kids with ADHD arent as smart as kids without ADHD. In reality, there is no direct connection between ADHD and intelligence. Just as there is a full range of intelligence among kids without ADHD, there is a full range of intelligence among kids with ADHD some are highly intelligent, most are of average intelligence, and some fall into the below-average range of intelligence. While ADHD does not have a significant impact on intelligence, it does make it harder for a child to learn in a traditional classroom environment, and it interferes with his or her ability to effectively demonstrate his or her knowledge on assignments and tests. Since kids are often described as being smart or not smart based on the grades that they receive, having ADHD-related academic ch allenges can lead to the perception a child is less intelligent or less motivated than his or her classmates. Intelligence, as it has been traditionally defined, is a reflection of skills measured on standardized IQ tests, including verbal and spatial reasoning, information processing, and memory skills. These are essentially the skills that are most highly correlated with academic success. Traditional IQ tests however, are limited in their ability to capture an individuals full range of abilities and potential. Fortunately, multifaceted models of intelligence have been proposed to address this problem. Dr. Howard Gardners Theory of Multiple Intelligences is one IQ model that encompasses nine different types of intelligence: Spatial: visualizing objects in 3D, mentally and physically manipulating objects with a specific goal in mind Naturalist: Understanding living things, reading nature, connecting with nature Musical: discerning the pitch, tone, rhythm, and timbre of sounds Logical/Mathematical: quantifying things, engaging in scientific thinking and reasoning Intrapersonal: understanding your own feelings and needs Linguistic: verbal and written expression Interpersonal: sensing other peoples feelings and motives Bodily-kinesthetic: coordinating your mind with your body Existential: grappling with the questions of why we live and why we die For kids and teens with ADHD who do not fit into the traditional model of intelligence, a Multiple Intelligences framework provides an opportunity for tailoring and personalizing the way that they are taught in the classroom. For example, for children who learn best in a more physical way or a more musical way, teaching math through physical activity or music could have a significant impact on a childs ability to learn. In addition, allowing kids to demonstrate their knowledge in ways that capitalize on their strengths (e.g., through project-based learning) could greatly enhance their academic performance and motivation. Parents and teachers have the opportunity to reflect on a childs abilities and consider which of the 9 intelligences represent areas of strength. Providing opportunities for a child to develop these strengths through extracurricular activities will build self-confidence, and help buffer against the feelings of self-doubt that come with having ADHD. With a Multiple Intelligences framework, parents and teachers can start to change the dialog around what it means to be smart, and empower kids with ADHD to see their true potential - well beyond the grades that they receive at school.

10 Tips for Presenting Your Best Self To Colleges Part 2

10 Tips for Presenting Your Best Self To Colleges â€" Part 2 ACT SAT Prep and College Admissions Blog In part one of this two-part post, I referenced five ways to differentiate yourself in preparation for applying to college. The first five tips were: Do what you love Distinguish yourself at school Distinguish yourself in your community Get a job or an internship Do some independent research In each case, the idea was to do something that makes you unique, and would suggest you’d be an intelligent, interesting, thoughtful addition to even the most selective college or university student body. Now, let’s cover tips 6 â€" 10. 6. Read This one seems simple, but wow, does no one do it and wow, is it powerful. Get a library card and READ. Keep a list of what you read. Teenagers don't read enough for pleasure (I know you have a lot of homework and sports, but even at 2 pages a day you can finish a book or two a year...) Reading opens your mind to new subjects, teaches you vocabulary, increases your imagination and attention span, and strengthens your writing. Colleges love to see kids who read because you are more well informed in choosing your major and you will have to read a lot in college, so everybody wins! 7. Go crazy taking in cultural activities in your city This activity is often overlooked, but you can go to plays, concerts, dance performances, art shows, lectures, poetry readings and all sorts of similar events in your city. Even if you live in a very small town, during the fair there are always events like this that you can attend. Learning about cultures shows your intellectual curiosity, and colleges are educational institutions first and foremost, so they really love kids who think and appreciate diverse experiences. Whether it's a ballet, a wood carving lecture at the library, or a tractor pull at the fairground, get out there and experience life! 8. Pursue a really weird, obscure hobby If you have any desire to learn to blow glass, country two-step, make duck calls, or recite poetry at slamfests, do it. Colleges (and employers) love people with hobbies because it makes you interesting and well rounded. When you pursue your hobby in Renaissance dance or civil war reenactment, a college will be able to see what kinds of things you can bring to campus to share with other students. And remember, you can learn any of these things from YouTube; you don't always need expensive lessons. 9. Investigate and really consider obscure majors While browsing through a college's course catalog and online statistics, look at the number of students enrolled in each major. Learn about the smallest and most obscure majors on campus because most kids are probably applying for the same things and one of these lesser-known majors might actually really catch your eye! 10. Publish anything No joke. If you can publish an article, a blog, a BOOK, a chapbook of poetry--do it. One year I even had a student who wanted to publish his own manifesto, and I did have a girl who wrote her own Latin textbook because she couldn't find one she liked... The point is, if you can actually manage to write or direct and publish something, then by all means do so. Colleges love movers and shakers, in good ways, so if you are one such kid, then let it be known by your output. Publishing is basically awesome. There are many ways that you canstand out from the pack, and all of them involve you following your own heart and pursuing your passions. Best of luck to you as you do. Yay, college!

5 Math Skills to Review the First Month Back at School

5 Math Skills to Review the First Month Back at School Irvine Math Tutor Tips: 5 Math Skills to Review the First Month Back at School Kids are back to school and learning all sorts of new topics. Some teachers will do tons of review while others will get straight into new information. When it comes to math, students needs to feel confident about the information they learned in years past so they can build upon those concepts throughout the academic year. Although each grade level is different, there are a few things every student in elementary school can work on to make sure theyre ready for whatever information the teacher presents. 1. Using a four function calculator A four-function calculator is essential when it comes to math at this level. Although most teachers want students to be able to do things by hand when theyre learning them, being able to do a calculation is advantageous in many instances. Once a kid knows how to use a calculator, its incredibly simple. However, if theyve forgotten how to use it from last year, it can become a little bit challenging. Younger students might confuse the multiplication sign with the plus sign and come up with an entirely different answer than they meant to. If students haven’t used a calculator for a while, its a good idea to sit down with them and make sure they know how to use it consistently. 2. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division The four most important elements of elementary math are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Many students struggle with their times tables and long division. If the concepts and steps aren’t making sense, its a good idea for students to review these topics before their teacher presents new information. If multiplication and division have not yet been presented in the classroom, kids can work on addition and subtraction. One of the most common mistakes students make is to subtract when they were meant to add or vice versa. Its a good idea to do a few practice problems at home to make sure they are on track. 3. Word problems Word problems can be really tricky and can make it more difficult to find the correct answer to a problem. The first step is to turn the word problem into a calculation. Many word problems also contain unnecessary information that students need to ignore to get the right answer. One way to start is for students to cross out irrelevant information with a pencil so they can visually focus on whats important. Word problems contain extra steps and are more difficult in general so it’s a good idea for kids to review before too much time goes by in school year (READ: The Importance of Repetition in Elementary School). 4. Money Dealing with money can be a challenge for many younger students. Most math workbooks contain several pages of basic financial calculations so students can practice. However, kids will often confuse what is left of the decimal point with what is right of the decimal point. This is a skill best learned through repetition, and its a great thing for kids to review at the beginning of the school year. Additionally, students should work with actual money to understand where it comes from. They can practice making change or counting out different numbers to understand the difference between a nickel, a dime, a dollar, and so on. 5. Checking your work Its important for math students of all ages to check their work. Many students are tempted to rush through their assignments so they can move on to something else. However, this is where students make mistakes and end up having to do the entire assignment over again. Before getting too far on their practice sheets, students should make sure they have used the right sign and did their computations correctly. This can be checked by a parent or tutor for a while, but kids should be learning to check their work on their own before too long.

How To Cook with Only a Microwave

How To Cook with Only a Microwave Photo by uggboy For lunch try a meat and cheese quesadilla. You can thaw out some frozen chicken or beef in the microwave first and place it in between two tortillas with some cheese and seasoning. Microwave for about 45 seconds, or until cheese is melted to your preference. Take out and server with salsa and sour cream and voilà your appetite is curved. When dinner time comes around, try making a baked potato with a side of glazed carrots. Wrap a damp paper towel around a baked potato and then wrap cling wrap around that. Put the potato in the microwave for four minutes. Check with a fork to see if it is done, if not continuing cooking at one minute intervals. For glazed carrots, add carrots, brown sugar, butter, and orange marmalade to a microwavable safe bowl and cook on high for three minutes. As for everyone’s favorite meal, dessert, try cake in a mug. You can easily make an egg free cake in a coffee mug by combing ¼ cup of sugar, ¼ cup of flour, 2 tbsp of cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, 2 tbsp. of olive oil, and 3 tbsp. of water. Mix all ingredients and cook for about 1 minute and 45 seconds and then enjoy.
