Good study skills

Quote from Parents' and Teachers' Guide to Rescue Your Math Student Now "Good study skills do not happen as a spectator sport, as you have to be actively involved in developing these habits. Cramming the night prior to a test can only result in confusion and effects short-term memory."

Division by 0

Division is splitting into equal parts or groups.
It is the result of "fair sharing".

Division by 0


Something cannot be divided into nothing. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, only changed.
This is why division by zero is undefined.

TEACHERS: Do you want to improve your methodology

Are you in search of a math guide to help your child: achieve better grades; know how to study math; and build confidence in their math abilities? This is it! TEACHERS: Do you want to improve your methodology, by learning from successes and errors of other educators? Learn how to motivate students and to handle discipline. Here it is! I have been an active mathematics person into my sixth decade. I have been keyed into math as: a student, a teacher, a tutor, a parent, and a school board member. As a teacher, I emulated the great teaching role models that I viewed from my perspective as a top-notch math scholar. This guide may be your "missing link" to greatness for your students!

Math student, with ADD

After school hours, I received a call from a 5th grade student whom I have tutored just twice. He came to me as a C math student, with ADD. Tomorrow is his day for tutoring. But today he received his math test back, which we prepared for last week. He was “so excited” he could not wait a day to tell me…he asked his Mom if he could call me. He had scored a 100 on this test and I told him how PROUD I was of HIS work.
