I remember my senior year of high school... I did not have a clue what college I would enroll at. All I knew is that I was going because I wanted to make something of my self. There were so many colleges to choose from and I didn’t have the money nor did my parents have the time to take…

I could really use some help with multiplying and dividing fractions. It has been a very long time since I was in school and I cannot recall the way I was taught to solve these problems. My daughter is needing help so if someone can show me how to work out these two problems I'm hoping I'll remember how to do them.

10. Use technology to keep families informed. These days, more is better when it comes to family communications. It would be nice if you could call every parent every day to update them but who has the time? For homework, tests, field trips, important events and general information, take advantage of what's out there. I had a web site that was very effective and made my job a lot easier. Today, I'd be using Twitter.

I remembered back then when I was in elementary, my favorite subject is always Algebra. Our teacher always give contests where we could join. But they're no ordinary contests. Our teacher is always strict, if you volunteered to answer and you didn't get it right, you should try until you get it right.

Before I always complain about those contests, but not until I entered high school. I realized then that I was more practiced of Algebra because of those contests, I even got a…

This is my list of student ethics:

1. Study. You don't need to study hard. Don't push yourself too much. Because sometimes, when you overdo things, you get tired of doing it. Do study moderately. Have your study habits. When you think your done with a part, that's it, you're done.
2. Review. Include in your study habits to make recaps of the previous lessons so you wouldn't forget them. Make a checklist of topics (on Excel or any other…

1. Eat breakfast and get plenty of rest: We all know how important breakfast is,  yet some of us don't enforce our children to eat it because we don't want to deal with the whining or just don't want to be bothered.  According to the American Dietetic Association, children who eat breakfast perform better in the classroom with better concentration and are more apt at problem-solving. Children who get plenty of rest are less stressed don't seem agitated and are more focused.…

Japanese Math Professor Sugihara has the ability to create illusions where a marble seems to defy gravity but when the structured is turned 180 degrees the illusion is revealed. He is able to make two-dimensional shapes appear to be three-dimensional to the naked eye. According to Sugihara, these illusions can be applied to the real world and can possibly help the decline in car accidents and traffic jams. He has first prize in an international competition and…

I would have to say my most memoralbe moment in math class was when we were doing some in class work and we were doing all kinds of measurements- ex. how tall you are, how big are your feet, how far you can throw a paper airplane, etc. We did most of the measurements in the classroom, but there was one measurement we did outside- we had to measure how far we could spit sunflower seeds. I remember how funny and a bit awkward this was when you're in college and quite a few kids are walking…
