Q: In this version, even when an error is made the rhythm should continue. When a mistake is made and players say, "Aw shucks," they should do so while in time with the rhythm. Then:  The person who called out the player who made a mistake will pick up the chant and call out a new player. If the person who called out the player who made a mistake isn't paying attention and they make a mistake, other players must say "Aw shucks" again. The person who called out that new out-person must now pick up the chant. This is a great variation for more experienced players. After the first few rounds of one-by-one chanting, have Big Booty speed up the rate of their clapping. Continue increasing speed slowly over time until someone makes a mistake.  To keep things fair, you may want to decide the amount of rounds you chant before the game speeds up. For example, you might decide that after the fifth one-by-one chant, Big Booty increases speed. It can be difficult to maintain a steady speed for your rhythm. Use a metronome or a metronome phone app to help keep the beat. " Where a player would normally say their own number, have them say "Big Booty" and equal amount of times. For example, instead of saying, "Number 2, Number 4" you'd say "Big Booty, Big Booty, Number 4."  This version forces players to pay closer attention, especially Big Booty. If Number 2 passed the chant to Big Booty, they would say, "Big Booty, Big Booty, Big Booty!" When playing this version, the second number does not change at all, only your own number when you are chanting yourself. A popular variation of this game uses superhero or pop-culture character names in the place of player numbers. For example, instead of calling "Number 3," a player might say, "Spiderman" or "Princess Peach." This version works best with smaller groups. It can be difficult to remember the ascending sequence for random heroes and characters in a large group. This can add a competitive aspect to this fun group game. Whoever lasts the most rounds as Big Booty gets a special prize. To keep players honest, you may want to have a monitor or referee keep track of who's Big Booty longest. Simple prizes, like stickers, stamps, gum, and bubbles work great for kids. For older players, try movie passes, gift cards, and more.
A: Play the survival version of Big Booty. Increase speed over time. Replace numbers with repetitions of "Big Booty. Use categories in place of player numbers. Give prizes to the best Big Booty.

Q: Place the tiles so that their sides are touching and they are facing up. Use a flat surface that is easy to slide the tiles around on. If you are playing with other people, then you should make sure that it will be easy to pass the tiles to each player. Turn on the game tiles by pressing the button on the bottom of each tile. To power down the tiles, you just hold the power button until the screen goes blank. The tiles will automatically shut off after 3 minutes of no activity. There are three game options in Scrabble Flash. After you power up the tiles, you will see the numbers 1, 2, and 3 on three different tiles. Select the game that you want to play by pressing the button at the bottom of that tile.  Game 1: Scrabble Flash is a solo game that allows you to play 3, 4, or 5 letter words. Game 2: Scrabble Five-Letter Flash is a solo game that only lets you play 5 letter words. Game 3: Scrabble Pass Flash is a multi-player game that only lets you play 5 letter words.
A: Set up your Scrabble Flash tiles. Power up the tiles. Choose your game.

Q: If you are interviewing for a specific position, then any behavioral interview questions will probably relate to common challenges that you'll face while working. The questions will prompt you to explain how your personal attitude and skill-set will apply to this new job.  If you are applying for a job that involves customer service, then you will probably be asked questions about past experiences handling customers. How have you dealt with angry customers? How have you gone out of your way to satisfy customers?  If you are applying for a job that will entail working in a team, then some of the interview questions may revolve around your past experience working in teams. How have you taken charge or helped balance a team?  If the potential job involves emergency response or high-pressure situations, then many of the behavioral interview questions will seek to understand how you behave under pressure. Think about times when you have reacted calmly and decisively to a high-pressure situation. Read over lists of the most common interview questions. If you are applying to a big-name company that fields a lot of applicants, then search online for the accounts of others who have interviewed for the same job at the same company. You don't need to rehearse and regurgitate a scripted answer. You only need to be able to reference examples that paint you in a positive light. Before the interview, make a short list of situations and projects from past jobs that might be relevant to this new position.  Try to remember the details. If you cannot clearly explain what you did in a situation, then you should not use that situation as an example. Consider sketching out potential answers beforehand. Again: no need to memorize them! Simply use the writing as a tool for exploring how a given situation relates to the new job.
A: Think about the situations that you might encounter in the course of this job. Study common behavioral interview questions. Prepare, but don't over-prepare.

Q: 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.
A:
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.
