since July, etc? Thanks for the kind comment re my consolidation. I was pleased with the result and even more pleased to see that I didn't make any cock-ups! I suspect that the laptop issues were all about the memory that Chrome was taking with a number of open tabs, thus robbing VLC of the working memory it needed. The amount and volume of files on the hard drive shouldn't make a great deal of difference to VLC's performance, unless the hard drive is almost out of space... Is it just the power
for assembling a model aeroplane. Given the starting set of a number of marked pieces, one can follow the instructions given to result in a predictable end-state: the completed plane. Misprints in the instructions, or a failure to properly follow a step will result in a faulty end product. In mathematics, an algorithm is a problem-solving procedure: a logical step-by-step procedure for solving a mathematical problem in a finite number of steps, often involving repetition of the same basic operation
Is a 200-Watt Siren Twice as Loud as a 100-Watt Siren? We field questions from customers every single day about our lights and sirens. One of the most frequently asked questions about sirens is whether a 200-watt siren is twice as loud as a 100-watt siren. To understand the differences between the two types of sirens and whether you should upgrade or not, you have to understand decibels and watts. What are Watts? What are Decibels? You probably learned about decibels and watts in high school,
Julia was an English-born American prostitute and also a madam in Virginia City, Nevada. She was born in 1832 in London, England. She was described as a beautiful and educated woman, she was also an independent prostitute. Julia died on the 19/20 of January in 1867, she was murdered by strangulation and bludgeoning, and also she was murdered at her house. In 1859 Julia was the first white American woman who was unmarried to go in the mining boomtown. She was known for the character of the American
1. Computer a program to write a function power() to raise a number m to a power n. The function power() will take a float value for m and n will be an integer value. a default value of 2 to be used to make the function for calculating the squares in case this argument is omitted. The main function has to be written that takes the value for both m and n as input from the user for testing this function. The same function should be working when m takes the value for integer as well. 2. Create a

The nature of heroism in “Judith” melds the heroic qualities of the pre-Christian Anglo Saxons and the Judeo-Christian heroic qualities. The Anglo Saxon qualities are the skills in battle, bravery, and strong bonds between a chieftain and the thanes. This social bond requires, on the part of the leader, the ability to inspire, and form workable relationships with subordinates. These qualities, while seen obviously in the heroine and her people, may definitely be contrasted by the notable absence
Pre-Assessment Analysis Before starting my math unit on multiplying and dividing fractions, I had the students complete a short pre-assessment to determine their level of understanding and prior knowledge with the concept of fractions. This assessment consisted of twelve individual questions that ranged from understanding concepts to using mathematical processes. The first four questions determine the student’s understanding of the concept of what fractions represent compared to a whole, how to
Decimals Round to Whole Number: Example: Round to whole number: a. 3.7658 b. 6.2413 If the first decimal number is ≥ 5, round off by adding 1 to the whole number and drop all the numbers after the decimal point. If the first decimal place is ≤ 4, leave the whole number and drop all the numbers after the decimal point. 3.7658 = 4 6.2413 = 6 Round to 1st decimal: Example: Round to whole number: a. 3.7658
compute mathematical operations but explain their reasoning and justify why using certain visual strategies such as number lines, number bonds and tape diagrams, aid in the computation of problems. When encountering mixed numbers, students may choose to use number bonds to decompose the mixed number into two proper fractions. This requires conceptual understanding that a mixed number is a fraction greater than one and can be decomposed into smaller parts. At the beginning of the lesson, students are
1. One of the key things that I learned from Developing Fraction Concepts is how important it is for students to learn and fully comprehend fractions. In this chapter, the author talked about how fractions are important for students to understand more advanced mathematics and how fractions are used across various professions. As I was reading this, I thought about all the nurses who use fractions when calculating dosages and how important it is for them to get the dosages correct. If a nurse messed
her students multi-digit number comparison, included in comparing prices. For a student to be able to achieve number comparison, several math concepts have to be understood and demonstrated by the student. Comparing multi-digit numbers as well as decimal placement can be very challenging to teach. Not only do students have to recognize the magnitude of the price on the tag, they have to be able to locate the item in the store, and also be able to compare values of numbers. This can all be hard to
Date: 04.03.15 Practicing Out Math Analysis of Learning: Amelia, Erin, and Taz are gaining skill in one to one counting as we count the number of scoops it takes to fill the tube. They are also being exposed to simple math words like, full, half full, and empty as we measure where the sand is up to in the container. Lastly, they are given the opportunity to make comparisons between the tubes and ascertain which tube make the sand come out faster – the broken tube. Observation: Erin, Taz, and

because of the Egyption number line. Since the number line is similar to roman numerals, it makes multiplication and division much more difficult (O’Connor & Robertson “An Overview of...” 5). Another reason is that ancient fractions must first be converted to unit fractions, for example, two fifths would equal one-tenth plus one-twentieth (Allen “Counting and Arithmetic” 20).However, as time progressed and ancient math began to become more advanced and the ancient Egyption number line became easier to
Year eight student, Sandra, completed the ‘Fractions and Decimals Interview’ on Monday, March 21. Sandra was required to complete a series of questions, which covered a range of concepts relating to rationale numbers. She submitted her answers in various different forms, including, orally, written, and, physically. The interview ranges from AusVELS Levels 5-8, and focus’ on assisting the student in developing and adjusting strategies, through mental calculations, and visual and written representations
Latin alphabet. Therefore, if an ancient Roman were alive today and asked to write down a number,
to divide each of the denominators by 2 to get 6.5 and 11.5 respectively. As we can see 7 is greater than 6.5, this means that 7/13 will be to the right of ½ on a number line. 11 is less than 11.5 meaning 11/23 will be to the left of ½ on a number line. We know that the number furthest to the right on a number line is the larger number, so 7/13 is the greater
in barcode numbers. The majority of products that you can buy have a 13-digit number on them, which is scanned to get all the product details, such as the price. This 13-digit number is referred to as the ‘GTIN-13’ where ‘GTIN’ stands for Global Trade Item Number. Error control is used in barcodes because without it, there would be so many errors and people would end up being charged for the wrong products. Sometimes when a barcode is being scanned, the scanner won’t read the number and therefore
Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7. Children start working with equal groups as a whole instead of counting it individual objects. Students start understanding that are able to group number is according to get a product. Students can solve duplication by understand the relationship between the two number. In third grade it is
