Q: Gifted students learn faster and more thoroughly than many of their classmates. They also find interest in different topics than other students. As a math teacher with gifted students, you need to find ways to challenge them and hold their interest. Some suggestions may include:  Provide differentiated instruction, with separate textbooks. Give advanced students extra challenge projects to work on. Allow more opportunity for inquiry-based learning for students to explore mathematical relationships. Let students explore higher levels of math technology. Because math is a subject that continues to build on prior learning, it is important that you take extra efforts to make sure they understand before you move on. There are some special techniques you can use that will help slower students:  Allow extra time. There is no requirement that every student must complete assignments in the same amount of time. Your emphasis should be on the learning, not on timing. Help students organize notes. Provide graphic organizers or outlines for their note taking. Pull them out in small teaching or discussion groups. Small groups are less intimidating and encourage all students to participate more. Provide tutors. You may be able to work with the students, their parents and guidance counselors to encourage outside tutoring. In some schools, honor society students may even do this for free as a community service to the school. Focus on concrete, real examples. Lower level students often think in more concrete terms. They may have difficult with some abstract concepts in algebra but do well with the real shapes of geometry. Students tend to perform best for the teachers they connect with most. Try to show an interest in your students that reaches beyond the classroom and the brief time you see them. Ask about their other subjects. If possible, show an interest in their extracurricular activities as well. For example, if you find out that a student enjoys playing basketball, you may then introduce ratios in terms of number of points scored per quarter. All students need to know that you and their parents share an interest in their development. For any problem students, you should contact the parents early, as soon as you see any difficult behavior starting to appear. You should also notify parents as much as possible when you have good news to share. The parents will appreciate your involvement and caring, and you will generally find that they will support your work to a higher level.
A: Find ways to challenge upper level students. Provide extra support for slower students. Take a personal interest in all students. Contact parents regularly.

Article: If this is your first time getting urine from your female dog, it may be a little challenging to do by yourself. Ask a friend or one of your family members to help you. They can be the one to either hold the leash or collect the sample. Your first attempt at getting a urine sample from your dog may not be successful. If you have time before your appointment, try to collect a sample again later, after your dog has had some water or eaten another meal. You may have to be patient with your dog and try multiple times before you get a sample. You may not have any luck getting the urine sample. Your dog may stop urinating when she figures out what you’re doing, or the urine may not have gotten in the container. If you cannot get the sample, contact your vet to let them know. When you take your dog to the vet’s office, one of the vet’s staff can take your dog outside to get the urine sample.

Q: When you get your new hamster, you’ll need to provide it with a comfortable place to live. This means you need to set up a suitable cage for your hamster. You should put down some absorbent bedding to make your hamster feel comfortable. This also allows your hamster to go to the restroom in its cage. You’ll need to spot clean the bedding daily and replace the entire thing once a week or so. Be sure to also put a water bottle for your hamster to drink out of in the cage. Hamsters are omnivores, which means they subsist on animal-based food as well as plant-based food. The most common thing to feed hamsters is dried hamster food pellets, but it is a good idea to supplement your hamster’s diet with small pieces of raw fruits and vegetables as a treat a couple times per week.  Typically, hamsters should eat about 10 grams of dry hamster food twice each day. For a treat, consider giving them small bits of broccoli, peaches, cauliflower, or bananas. Do not give your hamster anything citrus (like lemons or oranges) or acidic (like onions) because it could cause your hamster to get an upset stomach. During the first few days after you get your hamster, be careful not to push yourself on it too quickly. This is especially important during feeding time. Just put the food in the cage and then leave the hamster alone to eat in peace. This will help your hamster feel safe around you. You need to give your hamster some time to get used to you and to feel safe and settled in its new home. Don’t try to force any contact with your hamster for the first week or so. Sometimes this process can take a bit longer. It’s important for you to be patient in the beginning.
A:
Give your hamster a nice home. Feed the hamster regularly. Wait a week before trying to touch it.
