Problem: Article: Find a flat, dry area that is several yards from any open water. Self-supporting nets are like tents, so you can find a spot that you would feel comfortable setting up a tent on. If you’re inside, find a spot where you will feel the most comfortable and that has enough room for the net. Remove the net, as well as any rods, strings, and stakes, from its bag. Separate the net from the other parts. Spread the net over the area you have chosen. Pull the stake loops on the ends of the tent out to the corners of your sleeping area. If your net has a base, it will be easy to tell if you have it right-side up. If not, check to make sure any zippers are on top of the net. The poles will be broken into small sections that are connected with an elastic rope. Connect the sections together to form the full length of the pole. If you have polls of different lengths, separate them so you don’t accidentally start to use a short poll where a long poll is needed. Depending on the particular net you have, there will either be fabric sleeves or clips that hold the polls in place. The polls will extend from one stake loop, over the top of the tent, and connect to the stake loop on the opposite side of the net.  If you have a rectangular net, you will most likely have two long polls that cross each other in an X shape at the top of the net. On more elaborate nets, there may be a space for a smaller poll that holds the entryway of the net up. Using the included stakes, or sticks if no stakes are included with the net, stake the tent to the ground by hammering the stakes into each corner of the net. There will be loops on the corner of the tent that the stakes pass through. If you’re inside, you don’t need to stake the net to the ground. Keep it away from the edges of the net since mosquitoes can bite through the net if your skin is touching the edges. Make sure every zipper is closed completely. Otherwise, smaller mosquitoes may be able to get through.
Summary: Locate a suitable area for your net. Unpack the net. Lay out the net. Connect the poles. Insert the polls into the net. Stake the net to the ground. Place your sleeping bag or mattress inside the net. Close all of the zippers.

Problem: Article: Memorizing formulas and tables is all well and good, but it is more important to understand why the answers are what they are. Try to figure out the logic behind the problem rather than just memorizing and regurgitating. When you're getting the change in the supermarket calculate how much money you should get back. If you are buying gas at a gas station, try to multiply the price by the amount of gallons it takes to fill your tank. Getting better at mental math is a great way to feel more confident, even if the subjects you are studying in school are much more complex. You will always be using addition, subtraction, and multiplication in one way or another no matter how complicated the subject gets. Math is a broad field. Unless you devote your life to the studying of mathematics it is unlikely that you’ll ever understand everything. Figure out what part of math is most important for you to understand. Maybe it’s something you’re studying in school or a subject you have a personal interest in. Start with the basics and work your way up. Don’t start trying to do algebra if you aren’t comfortable with your multiplication tables yet. You can find practice books on the Internet or in bookstores for any math topic imaginable. These practice books will have a guided curriculum to help you get better at math. Testing yourself is a great way to figure out for sure what you understand and what you don’t understand. You might think you understand a concept but you won’t really know for sure until you test yourself. Most textbooks feature practice questions and tests. Like anything else, being good at math takes a lot of practice. You wouldn’t expect to be muscular after doing twenty pushups at the gym, so you shouldn’t expect to be good at math after doing twenty practice problems. Practice everyday and you’ll start to understand math more and more.
Summary: Strive for understanding rather than memorization. Use mathematics in everyday life. Focus on specific topics. Buy a practice book. Test yourself. Stay committed.

Problem: Article: Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it with nonstick cooking spray or butter. For this step, you could line the sheet with parchment paper, instead, if you would prefer an easier clean-up. The slices should be about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Add butter to both sides and arrange them on your prepared baking sheet.  You will end up using roughly half of the butter, or 1/4 cup (60 ml), for this step. Bolillo rolls are a type of Mexican bread available through many market bakeries. If you cannot find bolillo, though, French bread makes an excellent substitution. Both types of bread have crusty outsides and soft insides.  For best results, use bread that has been left out or bread that is at least 2 days old. This bread is already somewhat stale, but for a recipe like this, a little extra crispiness is actually preferable. When ready, both sides should be dry and lightly browned.  Remove the rolls from the baking sheet and let cool. Set aside. Turn the rolls after 3 minutes using tongs. Work carefully to avoid getting burned. Toasting the bread in the oven is the contemporary way to prepare the bread, but a more traditional way to prepare it would be by frying it on the stovetop in a cast iron skillet.  Melt 1 to 3 Tbsp (15 to 45 ml) of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Make sure that the butter coats the entire bottom of the skillet. Butter both sides of the each slice of bread, as with the oven-toasted method. Add the pieces of bread to the skillet a few at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan. After 3 minutes or so, use a spatula to flip the bread over to the other side. The side that initially faced the pan should be crispy and lightly browned. Give the other side an additional 2 to 3 minutes to cook. When done, that side, too, should be crispy and lightly browned. Note that you may need to add more butter as you go along to keep the bottom of the skillet well-coated.
Summary:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Cut the rolls into thin slices. Bake the rolls for 3 minutes per side. Alternatively, fry the bread.
