by StrongLearning

Aug 12, 2008 2781 Views

_notregistered/art_78_83766066fd~.gif All of us, students and non-students alike, forget important things. This happens when we don't transfer information into long-term memory. It is important to know how to do this in order to do well in school and beyond. Just think about it: you need to remember what you read, what your boss told you, the driving directions someone rushes at you at a stoplight, or, if you are a student, what the teacher says.

Help Your Child Study

by Dante Petrilla

Aug 12, 2008 2430 Views

_notregistered/art_86_5a8363b83f~.jpg Learning new material is always a challenge, but a great way to lessen that challenge is to get a handle on how the brain works and make more effective use of it. There are two different sides of the learning coin, as I like to think of it: On one side you have understanding, and on the other side you have recall. For effective learning, you have to maximize both of these aspects of the process.

Prognosis of Failure in School Math

by Victor Guskov

Aug 12, 2008 2395 Views

_notregistered/art_93_aa3e9e3a4b~.jpg It is obvious that for success in school mathematics it is necessary to master elementary mental computational skills at first - addition and subtraction within the limits of 20, multiplication and division within the limits of 100. In spite of this there are kids in third, fourth, and fifth grade who cannot - without a calculator - add 8 to 5, subtract 7 from 12, multiply 7 by 8, divide 54 by 9 and so on. Just those very pupils have considerable difficulties while learning the other basic topics of arithmetic and algebra. They cannot master well operations with two and three digit numbers, common fractions, negative numbers, like terms, brackets, simple equations etc. Even calculators cannot help them.

Aug 16, 2008 2132 Views

_notregistered/art_120_deb4c9039e~.jpg Lecture notes sure come in handy-and we teachers always remind students to take them, store them, and study them. If they want to keep up, participate, and shine on tests, that is. No problem or complaints from some. Others groan, though, when it's get-it-all-down time. What about your child? Any of these sound familiar?

The Question/Answer Reflex and How it Can Help in Your Exams

by Robert Seiler

Aug 17, 2008 2109 Views

Have you ever touched a hot iron and then pulled your hand away really quickly to avoid getting burned? Did you have to think to yourself "Gee! - this iron is hot - I better not touch it any longer because it'll probably cause a really bad burn on my hand". The answer is obviously NO! You wouldn't have had any time to think about what you should do and pulling your hand away is automatic. It's what we call a "reflex" action. It doesn't involve much, if any, thinking because by the time you think about it, it's too late.

by Frank Ho

Aug 24, 2008 2588 Views

Many children like chess, why? Simply put, it is a game and it is fun and children can play it without using a computer. Can you image nowadays that parents are telling me that their children spend too much time on computers playing games?
