Right Brained Fractions

Come on a fun filled fractions adventure with the Ator brothers! Num Ator loves to count! He shares a house with his twin brother Nom Ator who lives downstairs. Nom loves to name things! This dynamic duo is the missing link for students who struggle with fractions. With wonderful storytelling, vibrant images, and exciting activities Right-Brained Fractions provides the groundwork to develop and reinforce fraction skills, which is achieved by students being able to create their own models to visualize each problem being solved. This valuable resource is specifically designed to engage and support any child's unique style of learning.

Designed for children who are strongly visual, who learn all at once through images, are drawn to patterns, rely on body motions, who have difficulty with memorization, and who are considered right-brain learners, this resource teaches the multiplication and division tables based on the students' learning strengths rather than taxing their learning weaknesses.

Does your child: • Have impressive intellectual abilities but seem puzzled by ordinary interactions with other children? • Have deep, all-absorbing interests or seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of certain subjects? • Bring home mediocre report cards, or seem disengaged at school, despite his or her obvious intelligence? If you answered "yes" to these questions, this book is for you. Author Katharine Beals uses the term "left-brain" to describe a type of child whose talents and inclinations lean heavily toward the logical, linear, analytical, and introverted side of the human psyche, as opposed to the "right brain," a term often associated with our emotional, holistic, intuitive, and extroverted side. Drawing on her research and interviews with parents and children, Beals helps parents to discover if they are raising a left-brain child, and she offers practical strategies for nurturing and supporting this type of child at school and at home. Beals also advises parents in how best to advocate for their children in today’s schools, which can be baffled by and unsupportive of left-brain learning styles.

Right-Brained Addition & Subtraction begins with number recognition and counting, and continues through single-digit computation, number patterns, number sense, and number families. Included are stylized numbers and a song that helps children relate number symbols with number names. Then there is the core of the Right-Brained series which is the visuals and patterns for the facts to 10. Most importantly, children don't do computation by counting, but rather by the "see and say" method. The visual background they receive with the games allows them this fluency with their facts. This detailed resource book is packed with 101 pages of handy blackline masters of worksheets, assessments, and overheads making lesson preparation a snap.

Outlines a program to help children with ADD learn through the use of their powerful visual memory and heightened perceptions.

It is the great glory as it is also the great threat of science that everything which is in principle possible can be done if the intention to do it is sufficiently resolute. Peter Medawar, "The Threat and the Glory" An international symposium on "Cell Signal Transduction, Second Messengers, and Protein Phosphorylation in Health and Disease" was held at EI Escorial (Spain) from July 5-9, 1993 as a summer course of the Complutense University in Madrid. The lectures were delivered by renowned scientists from Europe, America, and Asia and attended by a large number of young scientists and graduate students from many countries. During evolution multicellular organisms have developed the most sophisticated and heterogeneous signals to maintain in harmony their multiple functions. The latest and most controversial aspects and developments in signal transduction were the main focus of this course. The communication among participants was extremely fluid, alive, and warm. This allowed the understanding of the key steps in cellular communication, from their original and historical sources to the main present hypothesis in the borderline of the latest scientific discoveries in this field. Without any doubt, the special atmosphere of the place, the monuments and the old granite stones, the "patio" with the fountain and the rose garden were responsible for the cordial meeting. This book comprises the manuscripts of the participants and we hope it will contribute to our knowledge of cellular signal transduction and be of value to a wider scientific community.

The book introduces readers to the two ways the brain is programmed to learn. It explains how these two systems affect classroom instruction and explains how the events of the culture affect brain development. It also explains how to set up a brain-compatible classroom and the underlying principles that guide all stu- dent learning. The book is loaded with student projects of all kinds that are emo- tonally engaging to students and help them learn more successfully. The book also explains how the emotional part of the brain (the limbic system) many times interferes with learning and prevents reasoning, thinking, and problem-solving to occur preventing students from using the rational parts of the brain (the frontal lobe system) to occur. The book explores how dysfunctional behavior in school such as ADD, & ADHD are related to school skill development and achievement. The argument is made that pre-requisite school success skills that lead to proficiency in reading, writing, calculating, and problem-solving are not really taught but merely assumed to be learned from the home and the early grades. Not only that but these pre-requisite skills are ALL found in the frontal lobe executive functions. The students who have those skills are almost always the high achievers in school. Those students that dont have these school success skills simply dont achieve at the level of the other students who have those skills.

In a balkanized future of dizzying possibilities, mercenaries contend with guns as smart as they are, nuclear deterrence is a commodity traded on the open market, teenagers deal in "theologically correct" software for fundamentalists, and anarchists have colonized a planet circling another star. Against this background, men and women struggle for a better future against the betrayals that went before. Death is sometimes the end, and sometimes something altogether different... This volume comprises The Star Fraction and The Stone Canal. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
