COMMUNITY FEEDBACK REQUESTED BY NCDHHS ADD MATH - Heart Math Tutoring

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK REQUESTED BY NCDHHS â€" ADD MATH - Heart Math Tutoring COMMUNITY FEEDBACK REQUESTED BY NCDHHS â€" ADD MATH COMMUNITY FEEDBACK REQUESTED BY NCDHHS â€" ADD MATH November 19, 2018 The NC Department of Health and Human Services released a draft statewide Early Childhood Action Plan and is asking for community feedback in writing by November 30th. The goal of the plan is to improve early childhood outcomes across NC for children ages 0 â€" 8. Ten high level goals range from improving housing and hunger to health and academics. While it is encouraging to see reading included in the plan, (goal #10 is stated as “Grade Level Reading: Young children across North Carolina will read on grade-level in elementary school.”), it is surprising that math is not currently included as a goal.This document should ideally drive action across the state and so what is included (or excluded) matters. Photo credit:www.cvcsd.stier.org Here are some reasons it is important to include math in efforts to improve early childhood outcomes: School-entry math skills are predictive of later achievement in both math and reading â€" with an even higher correlation than school-entry reading skills. (Greg Duncan, et. Al, 2007) Only 40% of fourth graders in North Carolina are on grade level in math.

EXAMPLE FEEDBACK: Dear NCDHHS â€" I saw a copy of the Early Childhood Action Plan and want to urge you to include math in goal #10 (“Grade level reading and math”). Math is critical to academic confidence, high-school graduation, and post-secondary and employment options, and skills must be developed early. Here are some additional stats: School-entry math skills are predictive of later achievement in both math and reading â€" with an even higher correlation than school-entry reading skills. (Greg Duncan, et. Al, 2007) Only 40% of fourth graders in North Carolina are on grade level in math. (2017 NAEP) Math at age 7 impacts socio-economic status at age 42 (Source: Ritchie Bates, Enduring Links From Childhood Mathematics and Reading Achievement to Adult Socioeconomic Status, 2013) In early years, math and literacy skills are closely tied (executive function skills, language that organizes/categorizes/describes, ordering and quantities). Please make sure families, educators, and community leaders know how important both subjects are to success and that neither subject is left behind at children’s detriment. Thank you.

2018 Official Guide to the GMAT Review Series Problem #167 (Back solving Variable in Choices)

2018 Official Guide to the GMAT Review Series Problem #167 (Back solving Variable in Choices) GMAT MBA Admissions Blog in this series, one of our most experienced GMAT tutors, John Easter, applies useful strategies to answer questions from the 2018 Official Guide. Problem #167 of the 2018 Official Guide to the GMAT states that four extra-large sandwiches of exactly the same size were ordered for m students where m4. Three of the sandwiches were evenly divided among the students. Since 4 students did not want any of the fourth sandwich, it was evenly divided among the remaining students. If Carol ate one piece from each of the four sandwiches, the amount of sandwich that she ate would be what fraction of a whole extra-large sandwich? (A) (m+4)/(m(m-4) (B) (2m-4)/(m(m-4)) (C) (4m-4)/(m(m-4)) (D) (4m-8)/(m(m-4)) (E) (4m-12)/(m(m-4)) It's a VIC (variables in choices), and there is only one variable, so, obviously, it's time to back-solve! STEP 1: Pick a nice value for m that is greater than 4. This is our pick. Anything should work, so let's say m = 6. STEP 2: Solve the problem when m = 6. The result is our target number. So, six students divided three sandwiches equally. That means each of these students got1/6 of each of three sandwiches. Now, because 4 students didn't want any of the last sandwich is was divided equally between the other 2 students, one of whom was Carol. So, Carol ate 1/6 of each of the three sandwiches that everyone shared and1/2 of the forth sandwich. Carol ate 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/2 sandwiches. That's 1 sandwich. So, our target number is 1. STEP 3: Plug our pick into the answer choices until we find our target number. A nice thing to notice is that all of our answers have the same denominator: m(m-4). If we plug 6 into that denominator we get 12. Since our target number is 1, we only need to find an answer with a numerator equal to 12. (A) 6 + 4 = 10. Nope (B) 2(6) - 4 = 8. Nope (C) 4(6) - 4 = 20. Nope (D) 4(6) - 8 = 16. Nope (E) 4(6) - 12 = 12. Yep The correct answer is E. An important caveat - this pick worked really well, but it's always possible that more than one answer will turn your pick into your target number. It's rare, but it can happen. If it does happen, don't panic. Pick a new number and try it on the answers that produced your target number. One of them will work and the others probably won't. If, by some chance, more than one answer still produces your target number, rinse and repeat. Now you try this problem with your own pick.
