The Truth About Tiger Help For Algebra

The Truth About Tiger Help For AlgebraIt is interesting to read in magazines and other print media that some websites are offering Tiger help to algebra. It is good to see, but we should be careful what we believe because there may be many websites that are not dedicated to helping students with algebra, but rather are creating traffic for themselves. There is a need for an education news website that offers math support that is based on good quality, well researched, and verified facts, and there are also helpful sites that offer valuable information.Some websites offer help in a way that creates more confusion than help. To illustrate the situation, some websites claim to have been founded by high school seniors who have gotten out of the algebra class of their own volition because they find it too difficult, but if you want to see the true story behind these websites, look on Google, there is no need to buy into what I am saying now.When you get algebra help online, you may find t hat the coursework and assignment content may not be the same as what you were learning at your regular high school. For example, most sites will not teach you about algebraic equations or 'equations by themselves.' This is because they consider it to be boring and a waste of time for most algebra students.Do not confuse, algebra help that is offered to students online is very different from the type of help that high school students receive from their algebra teacher. Some sites may offer help in learning how to solve algebra problems, but they will usually come up with ways to make these problems harder than they already are, or they may offer another term, such as 'complete the problem in two steps.'Algebra is not easy, and too many students believe it to be so. They get help from websites and other sources but fail to read any type of material that may enlighten them. In reality, online sites that offer this type of advice are not experts, but instead are usually just people mak ing money off of the fact that they can make a profit from the lack of knowledge of people who are going through the same difficulties as them.One excellent way to avoid these types of scams is to read the site before you make any type of purchase. After all, if you are buying textbooks online, or even electronics, it should be easy to see the proven track record and rating of the site. A five-star rating should be easier to find, because people know who provides this type of service and why.The good news is that there are sites that will give you help in a much more useful manner. These sites offer resources for algebra that are extremely informative and helpful. People who are looking for help in algebra do not need to be misled or mislead, because they can be better informed with the use of these sites.A good method of getting help in algebra is to look for a site that has a genuine reputation for offering real information, as opposed to false information. Other methods include f inding a website that comes highly recommended by other algebra students. If you are lucky enough to find one of these websites, congratulations, you are on your way to having a better understanding of algebra.

?? How To Teach English And Maths So Your Students REALLY Get It

?? How To Teach English And Maths So Your Students REALLY Get It How To Teach English And Maths So Your Students REALLY Get It Guest post byRobert LomaxRobert Lomax has been a tutor for many years, working in London, Italy and Hong Kong. His award-winning English and maths materials are available from RSL Educational. I doubt you’re here because you’re wondering how to teach.You’re already a tutor with a fair bit of experience. What’s more, you’re getting plenty of work…If you weren’t, you wouldn’t be reading this: you’d have given up already â€" which is what happens to most people. You must be doing something right!So my aim in this article isn’t to tell you how to do your job:I’m just going to share the method which has been most effective for me over the years. If it’s obvious to you, I can only say that it wasn’t to me: as you’ll see, it took me a long time to work these things out.A big problem …I spent years telling children how to write things â€" how to structure a comprehension answer, how to make a start with a maths question; how to write a good story â€" and sometimes they got the idea straight away. But, very often, they didn’t. And however many times I went back and told them again, and again … and again … some children just didn’t get it, at a ll. Ever. It seemed that even my clearest, most patient explanations just didn’t make sense, however hard I worked to make them better.… And a magic solution â€" which wasn’t all it seemedThen, in frustration, I started doing the work for them. “Look, give me the pen and watch me: THIS is how you do it!” And, like magic, almost everybody got it.So I began carrying model answers around with me: “Here’s one I made earlier!” I’d ask the student to compare their answer with the example, and explain the differences: How theirs could be better … How mine could be better!For a while, this was great. My students were doing better in school. More importantly, they were starting to think about their work more critically â€" more objectively.But over time, I realised that this wasn’t working quite as well as I’d first hoped. An example I’d photocopied last week didn’t quite cut it: It wasn’t real.Eureka!I kept trying. Maybe I just had to focus on comparing our an swers more effectively? Perhaps I could make games out of it, find ways to create a sense of competition?But it wasn’t enough. Each student lost interest in the model answers, because they weren’t fresh enough. They weren’t for them.So I put my pre-written answers away. I wrote my answers alongside the student, while they worked â€" even if this meant I wrote an answer to the same question, for three different people, on the same day, and went home feeling I never wanted to look at it again in my life.And it worked, just like the first time! This was what I’d been missing! If my answer was elegant and well-written, straight away the child had something to imitate. If I was tired and a bit bored and I’d let a mistake or two slip through â€" I hadn’t explained a quote clearly, or (horror!) I’d forgotten the units at the end of a maths question â€" they pounced on it triumphantly:If I could get it wrong, they realised, then obviously I didn’t have superhuman skills afte r all. If there was no magic involved, then surely they could produce brilliant work for themselves! And so, the curse was broken.Making this method really work for your students’ successYou can carry this technique into virtually any area of teaching. Yes, it leaves you less time to read the newspaper online â€" but in return, you get motivated students and delighted parents.Here are some of the ways I adapt the approach for different tasks:ComprehensionThis is perhaps the most straightforward way to use the method. In particular, you can show students how to support their points with short (one to five word) quotes within sentences and reach simple analytical conclusions. For example, many children simply have no idea how to write something like this: The author describes the rays of light as ‘fingers’. This metaphor makes me imagine the early dawn as dots of light peeping over the rim of the hills (‘fell sides’). When they ‘creep over’, the rest of the hand seems to come into view, as the points of light join together and make the sky bright. The one-word sentence, ‘Sunrise’, is surprising. It suggests that the shepherd is amazed by the new day, or at least very happy to see it.- taken from RSL 11+ Comprehension, Volume 2.It’s very difficult to explain all the elements of this answer to an 11 Plus student, if you try to do it theoretically. It’s only when they see how it’s done and try to copy it, that the idea of developing an idea around small units of meaning begins to make sense. MathsAbove all else, working in parallel to the student can demonstrate how to move from a confusing word question into the beginning of an answer: how to get past the ‘staring gormlessly at the page’ stage.As maths tutors we’ve all been there!For example, here’s a fairly simple GCSE question (taken from GCSE Maths by RSL) which nevertheless confuses some people: What does ‘in terms of x’ actually mean, in practice? More importantly: How do I start?So I would say:Just have a go â€" start anywhere â€" while I do it at the same time. When you finish or get stuck, let’s compare our work.And I’d do something like this: The very fact that I have done the work there, alongside the student, makes it real and encourages them to pay attention. Would they have thought of beginning with a sketch (or drawing on the diagram in the question)? If not, there’s no better way to make it sink in than to show them!Then we’d talk though our answers together, discovering what worked and what didn’t. In case it’s of interest, here’s how I break the explanation down in the book: Creative WritingThis is the area where I’ve found this method most useful. I don’t think it needs an example here, because there are so many different approaches, and the point (when you think about it) is quite obvious:The majority of children don’t have a clear idea what descriptive writing means â€" and particularly, what an examiner is looking for. Instead, they have stale checklists: a simile; a metaphor; two personifications â€" and so on â€" as though beautiful writing could be done just as well by a computer program.But if they can see something coming to life in their presence, and discuss how it was created, they have a chance of working it out for themselves. In fact, the majority manage to!You don’t need to do whole stories like this. In fact, it works best for five or ten minute, single-paragraph writing tasks: for example, ‘Describe the moment when you discover you are lost in a strange place’.One thing I should add: you don’t need to be a world-famous nov elist for this to work. The point is that the student can share your thought process. If they can point out room for improvement in your piece, that’s all the better.Final thoughtsI did warn you it might be obvious! But it’s taken me years to get the hang of this stuff, so I hope there’s the odd new idea you can try out with your students. And (as if that wasn’t quite enough) there are many more teaching tips on my blog.You might also like to try some of the free sample papers for 11 Plus and GCSE maths and English on the RSL Educational website.

After the initial stages, they will no longer use the physical abacus and by the end of the program they can perform even calculations like “356*769/67” in their mind with ease. Note: Even if your child has not gone through the Junior level, he/she might still be able to join a the Senior level after going through some assessment tests. English Reading/Writing: The goal of our English program is to enable your child to excel at Reading and Writing, and the levels of the program are aligned to what your child may be learning at school. The syllabus is divided into Language Arts, Reading and Writing skills which allows for a very structured approach to the program.

Top 5 College Study Tips

Top 5 College Study Tips Carving out study time in college can be tricky because there are often more distractions than in high school. There are always people around, events to attend, social activities to partake inin addition to a schedule with more freedom to control. Build upon some of the study methods you used in high school to implement these top college study tips: 1. Make a study plan As soon as it makes sense to youa week out, a month out, etc.make a study schedule for yourself for the days leading up to a test. This can be extremely helpful in spacing out your studying so you wont have to cram the day before and pull an all-nighter, which often causes more stress. You can decide to study an hour or two each day, or choose which concepts or units to review per study session. Remember to include breaks, as well! While studying straight through for two hours might work for some, a lot of us truly benefit from scheduled breaks. This helps us double down on the actual study time, minimize distractions, and better enjoy the breaks themselves, as theyll feel more earned. 2. Find settings that suit you A popular location to study may of course be your campus library. Its well-liked for good reason: it stays open late (and sometimes 24/7), offers print and electronic resources, and is quiet. Check out the librarys study rooms, which you may need to sign up for ahead of time, as they can provide a bit more silence and privacy. Top floors can be great for this as well. Your school might have other designated quiet spaces; perhaps a campus art museum or a certain area of the student union that you could take advantage of. However, if you like working with more background noise, such as music or the hustle and bustle of people around you, consider a local coffee shop or your dorm common area. You might even bump into a friend from the same class, which can help refuel you for more studying. Also, if you have access to a car or other transportation, you may wish to explore what other hidden gems are available near your college town; this can provide much needed different scenery. 3. Rewrite notes or make flashcards Writing down key concepts from a textbook or rewriting your noteson the page or on flashcardsare excellent ways to better cement information into your mind. The act of writing slows you down, allowing you to be with the concepts longer and spend more time actively focusing on them. The process is effective, as well as the productyou can take your page of notes or flashcards with you as portable study guides whenever you have a free moment. Waiting in line at the bank or at the DMV? Both great times to whip out your study aids and make the most out of a few stray minutes. 4. Prioritize your best time of day Think about what time of day you have the most energy, and schedule your study time accordingly. Are you one of the few college early birds? Do you like mid-day studying or do you slide into an afternoon slump? What part of nighttime works for you, early evening or closer to midnight? Once youre aware of this, youll want to use your most energetic hours for your most difficult subjects, which can help you make the most of your time. Also, as a college student, your schedule is likely to vary greatly day-to-day, so dont be afraid to try different things throughout the week and see what suits you best! 5. Visit office hours A unique aspect of college, and of school in general, are the professors with open doors to help you. Take advantage of this by visiting them during their scheduled office hours or possibly setting up a separate appointment if you have time conflicts. Meeting with a professor a week or two before an exam can be useful in directing your study plan or clarifying a confusing concept. If you wait until the last day before your test to meet, your discussion may not be as helpful, as youll have less time to process the take-aways from your conversation. You might consider attending office hours on a regular basis; youll get to build a professional relationship with your professors and the one-on-one setting is one of the easiest and best ways to learn. [RELATED: Set Up a Study Plan with Your Tutor that Works for You] These college study tips, as well as others youve picked up in high school, can help build your confidence as a college student as you become more aware of who you are as a learner. While repetition of study strategies builds stamina and helps you make the most of it, keep in mind that one strategy may work for you better at one point in your life, and not so much in another. To that end, keep trying new things and talk with classmates and professors for new suggestions. Any topics you want to know more about? Let us know!

How To Fit In with Your New Job Group - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / How To “Fit In” with Your New Job Group - Introvert Whisperer How To “Fit In” with Your New Job Group You got the job!   Good for you.   Now, your thoughts need to turn to how to start out strong and reinforce you were a great person to hire. Just as you thought about how to create a good first impression in the job interview, your first impression in your new job is even more important.   The first impression in your new job will stick with you from this point forward and can mean the difference between enjoying each day or dread going to work. Your ability to fit with your new group and the company culture will be the biggest determinate of how well your career trajectory will go.   Culture within a group is subtle and unspoken but is a uniting factor that meshes each person to the next, even if the group is dysfunctional or unproductive. There are things to do and things to avoid during your integration period, which is roughly about 90-120 days.   These things will assure your ability to fit with your group and position you to succeed. - Be friendly. One of the things that draw us to another person is when they smile and offer a word or two to others.   It demonstrates openness and warmth, which is an endearing quality. - Be there to learn. Even if you were on the cover of Inc. magazine as an expert, you have things to learn about the new business group.   If you come across as a person who doesn’t need to learn or understand how this business does things, you will be treated as an outsider.   Being an outsider will put you at a disadvantage, as you will be outside the stream of valuable information and process of work.   It can be seriously uncomfortable and also negatively impact your work performance. - Ask questions. One way to show your eagerness to learn and interact is to ask questions about people, process, and priorities.   Don’t be reluctant to ask, it’s a sign of strength and confidence, not weakness. - No comparisons. No one cares how things were done where you came from and they especially don’t want to be compared.   Doing that implies you are putting down how things are done here. Keep in mind, there are people attached to the work and it can offend them.   Even if the mission you were given is to make changes toward improvement, don’t make comparisons.   Give suggestions as their own solution to problems to solve here based on learning how things are done. (Even if the idea came from your previous job) - Solve problems but not too quickly. If you start pointing out problems with how things are done without the chance to learn, it may be taken as critical of them or lacking insight.   That sort of thing will stick with you (and not in a good way). - Pay attention. Group culture is a funny thing.   People who are already immersed in it will find it close to impossible to identify.   As a new person, you have the opportunity to figure out the cultural “icons” but only if you observe what and how things are done.   It can be anything from who the alpha dog is in the group that must be deferred to for certain things all the way to idiosyncrasies of the boss.   Running amok in a culture will cause you to be treated as an outsider and someone everyone is leery of. - Focus on relationships. You don’t have to try to turn everyone into your new BFF but you will do well to develop solid working relationships with everyone in your group.   Learn their background, skills, and priorities and figure out how to support each one within the scope of your job. This type of reciprocity solidifies all relationships and you will be well supported at all levels if this is the only thing you focus on. Creating a powerful first impression on a job is one of the most important things you can do.   It sets the tone for how people will perceive you going forward and is the thing to define your job satisfaction and success.
