Learn Geometry Interactively To Understand It Better

Learn Geometry Interactively To Understand It Better I did it much better in calculus and algebra, but failed to learn Geometry. My grade averaged out to a B. I barely managed to avoid geometry after that. So I went on to get a computer science degree. At one point of time I was mixing things like partial differential equations. Here are some tips that you can try to follow: Have confidence. You will just be fine. Practice Practice Practice: Geometry can be mastered with combination of talent and practice. Keep doing a practice and eventually you will be an expert after practicing multiple times. Visualize: The best way to study geometry is to visualize it. Once you have visualized it, try and think about what you can use it for. Once you have done it, you will be able to understand the importance of the topic you are studying. Certain subjects are better learnt by doing and interactive learning is the best available option. This is the option to learn subjects like geometry. There are a variety of computer based apps that can help students learn geometry interactively. Our online math tutors recommend that you try them out if you are finding learning geometry problematic. In fact, learning via route is quite important for kids as they begin understanding better. They understand what is learnt with understanding is indelible in memory. This will help them fare better in the future. We’ve listed some of the popular apps that help kids with learning geometry; read on. Shape Arts: Geometry Creations  This app has a lot of puzzles and problems that require solving and they are especially attractive as they come in vibrant colours and curious shapes. For instance, kids are given a puzzle that needs filling with the scrambled parts and they have to drop various shapes into the right place to complete the puzzle and so on. Not only is it entertaining for kids, it teaches them about various shapes and sizes and how they can be put together to form different objects. Jungle Geometry This app is quite entertaining and can be used to teach students about measurement, line pairs, names of shapes, angles and has illustrations that help students understand scaling and concepts such as ratios and how to calculate the area of a complex figure by splitting it into smaller easier figures and so on. Geometry in our opinion should be learnt kinaesthetically and this app is extremely helpful for that. The next time you are looking up math homework help online to teach your child geometry, opt for this app instead and make learning fun for your little one. Geo Gebra There are many math apps in GeoGebra such as the graphing calculator, CAS, 3D Grapher, Spreadsheet, Probability, Geometry and so on that enable easy learning. The Geometry app is all about learning to draw various shapes and playing around with them and figuring out details pertaining to them. Geometry Pad Geometry Pad can be used as a form of small-group tentative activity followed by geometry lessons. After the students learn about unique triangles, the online calculus tutors can make them build particular triangles and further assess their angles and also sides for supporting different theorems. Students can also share their constructions along with their classmates and talk about their similarities and differences. The next time you wish to seek math assignment help or simply help for geometry for your child, have a look at one of these apps and try them out. You can make learning interesting and interactive and this is the best way to learn geometry! There are other apps too such Cabri, Cinderella, Geoboard, My Geometric Universe, Mathlingz Geometry Education and so on that you can try out. Good Luck!

Mind Games Improving your Mental Practice

Mind Games Improving your Mental Practice Suzy S. Youve probably heard the phrase Practice makes perfect.   But how about Mental practice makes perfect? Believe it or not, a lot of your success begins with your mind setting goals and then envisioning yourself reaching them, for example. Below, check out some advice from Hillsborough teacher Jessica R. and get your mind in motion! I tell all my students within minutes of walking through the door that learning to sing is a sport.   It requires training your voice and your ears, the development of muscle memory and a passion to improve every time you show up for a lesson.   What the audience hears is art, but they only get to hear you after months of coaching and practice have sculpted you into the Rocky Balboa of opera or musical theater. So what can we learn from actual athletes that will help us become better musicians?   Sports psychologists have discovered that the most skilled athletes in any sport spend a lot more time looking at the target (the basketball hoop, the catcher’s mitt, etc.) than less skilled athletes.   This focus is called the “Quiet Eye,” and using it gives them the time to prepare their movements mentally before they actually take the shot. I propose to you that the next time you’re out for a jog, stuck in traffic, or sitting in a waiting room, consider it the perfect opportunity to become a better singer.   Concentrate on something you’re working on in your voice lessons that you’d like to improve.   Be very specific with yourself about what it is.   Hear the music in your head and try to form the most perfect version of it you can imagine.   Try to feel the sensations in your body that you felt the very best time you’ve ever sung.   Avoid negative commentary like “Don’t miss the high note!” or “Don’t run out of breath!” and instead try things like “I need to sing more into the preparation note to nail this high note” and “I need to remember to breathe here in a relaxed and deep way.”   Repeat this process until the thoughts become second nature.   The results will show up right away the next time you practice!

Jessica R. teaches singing, music performance, opera voice, and theatrical Broadway singing lessons to students of all ages in Hillsborough, NJ.   Jessica joined the TakeLessons team in May 2012, with over 10 years of experience teaching voice and performing nationally as an opera singer.

The Med School Application Timeline From MCAT to Interview Prep

The Med School Application Timeline From MCAT to Interview Prep MCAT Medical School Admissions This is a guest blog post from our friends at InGenius Prep. Applying to med school requires careful thought, planning, and preparation. While the decision that you want to become a doctor can be made overnight, preparing takes a much longer time. Before you apply, it’s important to understand the application process, prerequisites, and timeline for applying to medical school. Deciding if Medical School is For You When you evaluate your career options, think about the future ahead â€" not just the next four to five years in med school. Becoming a doctor requires serious educational commitment. Evaluate your ability to survive years of training, residency, and practice medicine for the rest of your life. More importantly, ask yourself: Do I have what it takes to succeed in medical school? Take a couple of weeks or months to make the decision. Seek advice from professors, your family, and talk to practicing doctors. Once you made the decision to pursue medicine, make sure to fulfill all med school prerequisites. Taking the MCAT Exam The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a standardized multiple-choice exam that med school applicants need to take as part of the medical school admission process. In most cases, the test is taken one year prior to the year you plan to enter medical school. Normally, applicants take the MCAT exam during or after their junior year in college. There are many different ways to prepare for the MCAT, from self-study, to MCAT prep classes, to private MCAT tutoring. The MCAT, however, is a beast of an exam, relative to other standardized tests you may have taken. It not only tests core academic skills like reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and mathematics, but also speciic content knowlege in biology, physics, and chemistry. So, you need to plan to study for a bit longer than you might expect. Some students spend 6 months preparing for the MCAT. Applying to Medical School The entire medical school application process takes about one whole year, including AMCAS application, med school interviews, and acceptances. June marks the start of the AMCAS application submission. Because med schools use rolling admissions, the earlier you submit your AMCAS application the better. After you submit your AMCAS application, start working on your secondaries. It’s important to start your secondary applications as soon as possible because often times you are required to write more than one additional essay. Try to return all of the medical school admission requirements within a few weeks to increase your chances of getting an early interview slot. Interviews and Acceptances Medical school interviews normally begin in mid-September and often continue through winter and early spring. If your application is evaluated early, expect to get notified as early as October. However, some med schools wait to notify all their candidates in March or April of the following year. If you got accepted to multiple schools, you should decide where you want to attend and withdraw your other applications. If you need help throughout your med school application process, anInGenius Prepadmissions expertcan provide you guidance every step of the way â€" from your school list to yourinterview preparation. Summary In general, it's important to approach the process of applying to medical schoolstrategically, which means you need to 1) set a goal (i.e, target med school program(s), 2) build a fact-base around what it takes to reach it (i.e, required classes, MCAT score, etc.), 3) consider various alternative ways you could go about meeting your goal, design an approach that works best given your unique situation, strenghts, and weaknesses, and then develop aspecific plan. Approaching your academic and professional life more strategically is perhaps the most important of the seven rules MyGuru discusses in its new, free eBook -The 7 Rules of Academic Performance

Learn How To Use Those Pesky English Articles In 10 Minutes

Learn How To Use Those Pesky English Articles In 10 Minutes In todays class, we are going to look at something that a lot of students forget about when learning English. They are those pesky little words that go before nouns, a part of grammar called  articles.First, lets look at the articles a and an. These articles are known as  indefinite articles, which means that they are  non-specific, and we use them when you are talking about something in general. A and an are always used before singular, countable nouns. Use a before nouns that begin with a consonant or a consonant sound, and an before nouns that begin with a vowel or a vowel sound.Examples:He is a teacher.  teacher  is a singular, countable noun that begins with a consonant. Use a.He is an actor.  actor  is a singular, countable noun that begins with a vowel. Use an.He has a euro. euro  begins with a vowel, but it has a consonant sound (ow-er). Use a.I have an hour for my lunch break. hour  begins with a consonant, but it has a vowel sound (ow-ur). Use an.Can you think of any oth er sentences that use a or an?

With a and an, we are talking about something that is new, unknown or introduced to the reader/listener for the first time. When we use the, we are talking about something that has already been introduced to the reader/listener, also known as a definite article. Look at the sentences below to help you:I have a dog. The dog is black.There is a book in my bag. The book is very heavy.That was easy right!? Sometimes articles  can be a little more difficult, especially when a  clause or phrase in the sentence tells the reader/listener which person or thing we are talking about.Example: Can you give me the pen on the bed.This may seems incorrect, as the pen hasnt been introduced yet, however the phrase  on the bed  tells the listener/reader exactly which pen we are talking abou t.
