INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Though any qualified educators can technically teach IB classes, teachers with an IB background will have a leg up when applying to teach at IB schools. Find a university or educational institution near you offering an IB educator certificate program. You can also sign up for online courses to get a certificate remotely.  Visit the International Baccalaureate website at http://ibo.org/globalassets/professional-development/ib-university-directory-2017-en.pdf to get a listing of the universities offering IB educator certificates, as well as detailed outline of what each specific program entails. On average, IB certification takes about 22 weeks to complete. Each educational institution offering an IB educator program has its own entry requirements. You can look up these requirements on the IB directory, or on your program's website.  To look up the requirements in the IB educator certificates directory go to: http://ibo.org/globalassets/professional-development/ib-university-directory-2017-en.pdf. If you do not meet the requirements, look into the requirements for other certificate programs offered online or in your area. The costs associated with getting an IB educator certificate will depend on the unique fee structure of the institution offering it. This may vary greatly depending on the country the institution is located in. Contact the institution of your choice before applying to get this information. The IB offers 4 keys programmes targeting different ages and educational goals. Choose the aim of your certificate training based on your teaching concentration. For instance:   If you want to teach IB classes in an elementary school, choose the Primary Years programme, geared for children aged 3-12. If your goal is to teach IB classed to middle school students, opt for the Middle Years programme, focusing on children aged 11-16. If your career goal is to teach IB classes to older high school students, choose the Diploma program focusing on academically-focused students aged 16-19. You can also decide to study the Career-related programme, which focuses on more career-specific education for ages 16-19. Whether you take courses in person or online, you will have to pass them all to get your certificate. Some institutions will require a minimum grade for each course, and some will set a time limit on how long you can take to complete all the credits. Find out your school's specific requirements to ensure that you obtain your certificate.

SUMMARY: Find an IB educator certificate program near you. Make sure you meet the entry qualifications for the program. Contact the institution to ask about their fee structure. Choose the focus of your program before applying. Complete the required number of courses to get your certificate.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Just a regular cooler is fine, like the one you use to keep food and drinks cool for a picnic, but it must be small enough to fit in your freezer. The cooler will insulate your ice cubes, forcing them to freeze slowly from the top down. Do not close the cooler. If you can, use trays that make larger ice cubes, or get a series of small, rectangular plastic or silicone containers. Proponents of this method claim tap water works as well as distilled and boiled water. This water will seal off your ice cubes, keeping cold air from freezing the sides or bottom. Make sure your freezer is not set too cold—17-25°F (-3 -8°C) should do it. Leave the cooler for 24 hours. The ice should have a thin cloudy layer at the top but be clear the rest of the way through.  You now have large, solidly crystal ice cubes.

SUMMARY: Get a small cooler. Place your ice tray, mold or other freezing container at the bottom of the cooler. Fill your tray or molds with water. Pour water into the bottom of the cooler, filling in around your ice tray or molds. Place the cooler with the lid off in your freezer. Take out your cooler and carefully remove the block of ice with your ice tray or molds frozen in it. Chip away the ice around your tray or molds and remove your ice cubes. Leave them out for a minute to let the top cloudy later melt off.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Finding the degree of a polynomial with multiple variables is only a little bit trickier than finding the degree of a polynomial with one variable. Let's say you're working with the following expression: x5y3z + 2xy3 + 4x2yz2 Just add up the degrees of the variables in each of the terms; it does not matter that they are different variables. Remember that the degree of a variable without a written degree, such as x or y, is just one. Here's how you do it for all three terms:  deg(x5y3z) = 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 deg(2xy3) = 1 + 3 = 4 deg(4x2yz2) = 2 + 1 + 2 = 5 The largest degree of these three terms is 9, the value of the added degree values of the first term. 9 is the degree of the entire polynomial. You can write the final answer like this: deg (x5y3z + 2xy3 + 4x2yz2) = 9.

SUMMARY:
Write the expression. Add the degree of variables in each term. Identify the largest degree of these terms. Identify this number as the degree of the polynomial.
