Problem: Article: It’s easier for students to understand division if they can imagine a set of items being divided equally amongst a group. While 10/5 might seem confusing, giving out 10 cookies to 5 friends makes it seem simple!  If you’re teaching your own child, you can introduce division by having them help you divide items into goody bags or separate baked goods into sandwich bags to hand out to friends. In a classroom setting, students can work in groups to divide a number of items, such as candies or plastic bears, evenly among themselves. Most students begin to learn division in the 3rd grade or around the age of 8 or 9. Ask them to divide the same larger number into smaller groups of various sizes. You can use manipulatives, pictures of the items, or a worksheet. This helps them get a better grasp about how basic division works.  Manipulatives are any small item that represents the numerical amounts in math problems, such as beans or plastic coins. Your student can physically see and touch the items, which helps them better understand the mathematical concepts. For example, give them 24 beans, then ask them to separate the beans into 2 groups, 3 groups, 4 groups, 6 groups, 8 groups, and finally 12 groups. Explain to them that this is the same as dividing the number 24 by each of these numbers. This seems simple, but it’s an easy step to overlook. Before your student can start working through problems on paper, they need to know the symbols they’ll use. For example, 10 divided by 5 can be written like this: 10/5 or 10÷5. Show them every way that the problem can be written. They already understand multiplication, so this is a good scaffolding to build on. Show them how the times table can be worked backwards using division. For example, go through the 5 times tables, starting at 5 x 10 = 50. Show your student that 50/10 = 5. Then go to 5 x 9 = 45, and explain that 45/9 = 5. Continue until you complete the times table. Provide your student with simple math problems consisting of numbers that divide evenly. Remind your student that division effectively creates smaller groups out of a larger sum.  You can work backwards from multiplication tables. For example, when dividing by 3, the math problems would include 3/3, 6/3, 9/3, 12/3, 15/3, etc. At this point, make sure the numbers divide evenly. You can download free worksheets for your student to use for practice by searching online for "division worksheets." Choose worksheets for beginners.  You can also create your own worksheets. For beginners, focus on numerical problems. However, they may benefit from illustrations or context. For example, you might make a worksheet about dividing pizza for a party. The context is that the student must divide certain numbers of pizza slices per varying numbers of guests, but the math problems will contain just numbers, such as 12/3, 12/4, 24/8, etc.
Summary: Present division as a way to share. Show your student how to divide items into smaller, equal groups. Teach your student the symbols used for division problems. Explain that division is the opposite of multiplication. Begin dividing by numbers, starting with 1 and working up to 10.

Problem: Article: This does not affect the quality of the stone in any way, so a heavier weight does not necessarily indicate a higher quality stone. Note, however, that this may not be possible on a budget. Do you want a slightly smaller stone at higher quality, or the opposite? The most common sizes for engagement rings are 1/2 karat, 1 karat, and 2 karat. People often choose common karat weights, which are known in the industry as ‘magic weights’. Because they are common, the price of diamonds at these weights is usually disproportionately higher than diamonds just below the magic weight e.g. a 0.98 karat diamond may be significantly less expensive than a 1 karat diamond, with no visible difference in size. Not all women prefer many karats. Some may place quality over size while others may be willing to sacrifice a bit of quality for a more noticeable diamond.  Ask the recipient herself about her preference. Ask close friends or family about the recipient's preference. Women with more petite hands may prefer the look of a smaller stone to larger stones that have a tendency to overwhelm. However, women with larger hands may drown out a small stone, making it appear smaller than it really is.
Summary: Take karat weight into consideration last. Consider selecting an uncommon size karat to save money without sacrificing quality. If buying an engagement ring or gift, find out what the recipient prefers in size. Consider the size of the wearer's hand if buying a diamond ring.

Problem: Article: Before you deep clean your floor, sweep any specks of dust, crumbs, and garbage that might be on the floor. Last of all, take out the trash. You should do this last because while you are cleaning you will undoubtedly find things you will want to throw away. Wash the trash can with soap and water. Replace the bag with a new one.
Summary: Sweep the floor with a broom and dustpan. Take out the trash.

Problem: Article: Though makeup is one of the best (and certainly most popular) ways to improve the look of lips, it is imperative you choose the right kind of makeup for the job; otherwise, the makeup might actually work the opposite way you want it to! As a rule, you'll want to avoid darker lipsticks when aiming for bigger lips. Clear or nude shades of lipstick are a much better match in this case. Moreover, picking a concealer and lip liner that works for your skin tone can make or break the cosmetic approach. Knowing what will, and will not work for your lips is a crucial first step. Generally speaking, you want to choose a colour that won't conflict with your natural tone.  If you're not certain what might work or you specifically, enlist the help of a sales associate in a cosmetics store; most often, they'll know specifically what shades are best suited to each skin type. Before using lipstick and lip liner, you should make sure you start with a good canvas. A good concealer will erase the natural lip lines, allowing you to draw your own. Spread the concealer carefully, making sure you get it on and around your lips evenly. A lip liner is used to distinguish the boundary between your lips and the rest of your face. If you want to make your lips appear larger, draw on the lip liner slightly beyond the edges of your lips.  When paired with lipstick, this larger canvas will give the impression of fuller lips. Once you have purposefully overdrawn your lips, lip stick and gloss should be applied evenly to the newly defined area.  A blunt-tipped pencil will not apply color as evenly as you want, while a sharp-tipped pencil will result in clean, crisp lines. Don't try to get away with too much! Overdrawing lips only works well in moderation; going too far will make the effect look inauthentic. With your lip liner as a guide, apply lipstick to the extended area evenly. With a concealer in place, the overdrawn lipstick should create the illusion of fuller, plumper lips. Again, using nude tones like peach and pale pink are best-suited to this end. Making a slight, fake 'shadow' underneath your lips is a helpful trick to give them a deeper look. Pencil the underside of your bottom lip with a brown, or white eyeliner. Make sure to keep the line very subtle; this technique is best kept as an accent. If you're using a white eyeliner, another subtle line across the top of your upper lip will add to the impression. With the lipstick evenly applied, using a bit of lip gloss will give your lips an authentic shimmer. There are many different textures to lip gloss, including translucent, lacquer, milk, transparent, and iridescent. In this case, a neutral tone is most recommended. That way, you'll get a striking smoothness to your lips without losing any of their natural appeal.
Summary:
Choose the right sort of makeup. Apply a full coverage concealer.  Draw on bigger lips with a lip liner. Apply lipstick, following the newly drawn lip lines. Underline your bottom lip with some eyeliner. Give your lips an added shine, using lip gloss.
