Article: Hollyhocks come in a seemingly endless assortment of shades of white, yellow, pink, maroon and red flowers, which grow on 6 to 9 foot (1.8 to 2.7 m) stalks.  Hollyhocks will reseed themselves for subsequent growing years. You can also harvest seeds from plants in the fall. Some hollyhock varieties will generally grow a bit shorter or taller, so consider your space needs and height preferences as well. If you live in an area with cold winters, consider starting hollyhock seeds indoors in the fall. Germinate the seeds in October or November and allow them to grow for a while and experience a winter. This may trick the flowers into blooming the following spring.  If you live in a warmer climate, you may be able to plant the seeds outdoors in the fall and achieve the same results. In the U.S., hollyhocks can manage in USDA hardiness zones 3-8 (see http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/). In cooler zones (e.g., 3), you’ll definitely want to start indoors — either the previous fall or early in the spring. In warmer zones (e.g., 8), you can sow seeds outdoors in the fall or spring. Hollyhock seeds are large, have a high germination rate, and come few to a package, so it is best to plant each seed individually. Put each seed 0.25 to 0.5 in (0.64 to 1.27 cm) below the soil.  Any small plant container will do, but plastic “peat pots” filled with perlite, vermiculite, and peat moss are ideal for this. Place the trays near a window where they'll receive ample sunlight. Water the soil as needed to keep it moist. Hollyhock seeds usually germinate in 1 to 2 weeks. You only need to do this if you are growing the plants indoors over the winter. If you’re just starting early in the spring, you can go straight from the peat pots to outdoors. Keep the pots in a sunny spot indoors, and water them regularly.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Purchase seeds in your choice of variety and color. Plan ahead to increase your chances of first-year blooms. Sow the seeds in individual “peat pots” indoors. Transplant the seedlings into individual 4 to 6 in (10 to 15 cm) pots.

Problem: Article: If you forgot some type of worksheet or essential assignment sheet, call up a friend. Ask if you can borrow their worksheet for a few minutes. Then take the worksheet to a nearby office supply store and have it photocopied.  If you have a scanner and printer or a copy machine, you can complete this task at home. Most printing places charge $0.10 for a single black and white copy. If you do not have access to a copy machine, or do not have a ride to your friend’s house, you can ask them to take a picture of the worksheet or scan it and send it to you by text or email. If you can’t print it out, you can copy it by hand using your best handwriting. Does your school use an online platform to post assignments and grades? If so, it is possible your teacher posted a copy of this worksheet to that page. Log in, look for the name of this assignment or the chapter it corresponds to, and locate the worksheet. Print it out at home. If the worksheet was produced by the company who made your textbook, you can likely locate a copy of it online. Search by the publisher, textbook title, and subject matter or chapter you are working on. Locate a PDF of the worksheet and print it out at home. Often times, your teacher will have an electronic copy of the worksheet that they can send to you. Email your teacher right away and request a copy of the worksheet.   Be sure to use clear grammar, complete sentences, and good etiquette in your email. You can only use this method once or twice before your teacher will become frustrated with you. Your teacher may be less than pleased that you don’t have the worksheet if you’ve had an extended period of time to complete it rather than if it was assigned that day.
Summary: Photocopy a friend’s worksheet for an easy solution. Look on the website for your course, if applicable. Find a PDF of the worksheet online if possible. Email your teacher as a last resort.

Simply put: Anytime you multiply by a number with zeros on the end (like 120 x 160), you add the number of zeros to the end of the product.120 x 160 becomes:  12 * 16 = 192  Place the two zeros on the end (One from 120 and another from 160)  = 19,200 Start with a one digit times two digit multiplication problem   Remind the child that the units column has already been multiplied.  Tell the child that when you multiply the units column by the tens column it's like multiplying something with a zero on the end.   Do not continue until the child can manage any problem of this type (1 x 2)! Continue with a two digit times two digit (2 by 2) multiplication problem. Most children have no idea why their teacher skips a space on the second line of "conventional" long multiplication.   Mark the two multiplications (which will look like a big X).  Show the child that this is like multiplying by 100.  Have the child place zeros in the two right columns and place the product to the left. Put it together with unit times two digit (1 by 2) multiplication Have the child compare this to carrying in addition. The child should become proficient at this before proceeding. Complete the process of (2 by 2) multiplication.  Remind the child of the zero in the right column. This would be a good time to tell the child that the zero in the right hand column is not necessary, but it won't hurt if they leave it.

One-sentence summary --
Make sure the child already knows the basic multiplication tables. Teach the child how to handle multiples of ten; we see this as zeros on the end of a number. Place column lines on the paper and make sure the digits are properly placed. Multiply the Units column and place the answer in the correct columns. Before multiplying the Units column by the Tens column, discuss the implications. Place a zero (0) in the units column underneath the first answer. Multiply the Units column by the tens column and place the answer to the left side of the zero (it will be underneath the first answer). Have the child add the numbers together. Have the child complete the problem with the bottom tens digit hidden (at first). Remind the child that he/she placed a zero in the right column before multiplying a unit column by a tens column. Reveal the hidden digit and show the child that he/she will be multiplying a unit by a tens digit again. Again, have the child place a zero(0) in the right hand column and answer the units x tens multiplication to the left of the zero. Discuss multiplying the tens by the tens column. Have the child do the addition to finish the problem. This time, instead of writing the tens digit (from the unit x unit product) under the line, write it ABOVE the tens digit column. Have the child do the units times tens multiplication; have the child add the carried number to the product and write the number to the left of the units digit already present. Place a tens digit in the lower factor and have the child cross out any carrying that has already taken place. Have the child treat the tens digit like the other one times two digit work. Have the child finish by doing the addition.
