I tutor a 3rd grader and she is beginning to study the conversion of measurements.
The only 5 she is learning are:
12 Inches = 1 Foot
3 Feet = 1 Yard
36 Inches = 1 Yard
5280 Feet = 1 Mile
1760 Yards = 1 Mile

These are example problems from her worksheets that she needs to do:
[write > < or =]
3 Ft ____ 6 In
9 Yd ____ 1 Mi

I think an easier way to figure the problems out is to convert them into the same measurement. (example: 3 Ft____6In into
36 In ___6In)
How could I explain to her how to do that? She obviously needs Math help if I'm tutoring her so I need an easy explanation, if possible.
Thank you to whoever is willing to help,
Steph

To start with, most of their backpacks are REALLY heavy. The wait to cross the street lasts 2 minutes and there are about 30 kids waiting to cross at a time. It would be VERY nice to take the backpacks off for 1 to 2 minutes while waiting, and yet NOBODY does it. WHY???

Backpacks are designed to carry stuff from place to place, on a person's back. So I don't get it: Why can't anybody take them off when they're not walking? There is no practical reason to wear them while just STANDING.


Can you explain why NOBODY takes their backpacks off while waiting to cross the street?

Guys, I need to expand my vocab.
To get a job, you need a good vocab.
Well, I want to get more serious and work on expanding my vocab.
My Teacher, is always using big words.
I also get off the subject when writing and talking. I dont think I put/build my sentences right.

Is there any free programs or websites? It really does not need to be free, but I need some advice.
Reading everyday does NOT work.
They say it does, but it doesnt!
It might but not for me.

I need help.

Thank you all,
Billy

I deal with little ones one day a week and have enough problems with them. Most of the time I regain control pretty quickly.. If you can hear me now clap once, if you can hear me now clap twice brings this age back pretty well. What are your tricks?

And in the area of disruption...How much should be tolerated? Disruptive students prevent other students from getting a better education. Who should have more rights the disrupter, or the disrupted.

What are your best methods/tricks for dealing with disruptive students?

my 1/2 baked idea.

I would love to separate children who have already mastered basic skills for their grade so they could do special studies. These studies would help educate future innovators, inventors, engineers, journalist, etc. This approach could teach them to more fully use their minds by doing research projects and design challenges on subjects both assigned and of their choice.

We will build a better future if we educate our children to find the questions and answers. We stifle the potential of many students with much rote memorization, repetition, and far too simple question and answer papers.

Several grades could be combined for this approach if the student base is too small to permit a special studies class at each level.

The devil is in the details. Perhaps the students take a pre-test of the end of year in the core subjects. Or perhaps they weekly take the tests, but get to skip daily homework & spend time in the special studies in mastered subjects

but education questions are not of school students. i am a teacher and want such questions to answer them especially those related to school problems, anxieties, fears etc.
