This is the magic of the universe expressed through numbers. We may never know if there are any odd perfect numbers but this will not stop some people from trying to find answers to the most difficult problems. Veritasium is a specialist on finding and presenting some of the most interesting topics. By the way I love these books that contain just a huge perfect number! https://lnkd.in/dQ45FzNc

What do you do if your eight-year-old is bored by lessons at school? There are lots of reasons why your child has been looking forward to starting Year 3. Maybe it's because they'll be with the older children at lunch. Maybe it's because they are looking forward to harder maths. Or maybe it's because they'll get to read the books on the librarian's 'KS2' shelf. If Year 3 isn't turning out to be as exciting as your child hoped, you should give them something extra outside of school hours. Year 3 is the perfect time to start a new lanaguage. Your child is old enough to cope with extra lessons and they aren't yet being given lots of homework or preparing for entrance exams. My top recommendation for a language to learn in Year 3 is ...Latin (!) Latin is not as difficult as its reputation might make it seem. Thirty minutes a week of Latin lessons will give your child a better understanding of grammar, build their vocabulary and make it easier for your child to understand abstract concepts in other subjects over the next few years.

This is such an important investment for every person in a leadership position irrespective of the role! There is a gain in this exercise for EVERYONE! -a student leader -a teacher leading a lesson/learning experience -a mentor -an instructional coach -a team leader - Primary and Senior Leadership Team ALERT - 1. practicing active listening with open mindedness would be the key to success during the interaction. 2. Focus on your part and not the gain of the other person (eventually that will be the outcome of your focus on your part :) let the person connecting with you be the judge of the gain for him/her and avoid ASSUMPTIONS (That works like an ingredient which can spoil the whole dish!) 3. Preparedness works like magic! Plan your conversations and imagine a 360* view to be well prepared! 4. SMALL steps can be a big WIN for some people! count that as well for your own motivation! 5. Spontaneity can be a virtue! Check for readiness for conversation in the initial few minutes and willing to make changes based on that. 6. End with giving HOPE to that individual and to yourself! that would be a win for both involved :) Thank you for an engaging post!

Why would a math teacher care about this video? I worked in a summer program for two years (so far) that required me to run daily reading/writing circles for middle schoolers. From year to year, some aspects of it improved, and some aspects of it did not. But I wasn't able to put my finger on the "why" behind the changes in the same way I might be able to in a math class. So, I'm trying to learn some things to move towards some more consistent, controllable, and predictable improvement. Plus, I'm sure these skills can be translated into any portion of a class that requires some form of reading and/or writing. And in the US k-12 system, reading and writing skills can be applied to just about any subject.

Children are born learning, but the language pathways in their brains must be built with purpose, and wired to learn to read 🧠 “Just exposure to words is the single most important thing that you can do to help build the language pathways in your child’s brain,” says Laura Phillips, PsyD, the senior director of the Learning and Development Center at the Child Mind Institute. When you cuddle up to read with your child, you’re familiarizing them with new vocabulary – but also with the concept of books! When you turn pages together, point to words as you’re reading, and help them connect the shapes, sounds, & names of letters, you are building critical pre-literacy skills.
