Pre-algebra is a part of mathematics which is studied typically in the United States. It is usually taught in 8th grade to prepare students for algebra, geometry, and other subjects that are taught in high school. Pre-algebra helps students understand variables and graphs. Pre-algebra often deals with basic math, while adding letters, commonly used are x and y. Subjects students often learn include: Pre-algebra is mainly about equations and evaluating what certain variables are. An example is "3y+x-3=y-x+10 say we need to solve for x. we would need to subtract 3y from both sides of the equal sign. So it becomes x-3=10-2y-x next we need to add 3. So x=13-2y-x, and then add x to each side. 2x=13-2y divide each side by 2 so x=-y+13/2." Szczepanski, Amy F. &amp; Kositsky, Andrew P. 2008. "The complete idiot's guide to pre-algebra".
The French National Museum of Natural History ("Muséum national d'histoire naturelle") is the national natural history museum of France and a part of Sorbonne Universities.

The museum has 14 sites in France, with four in Paris. It includes the ", which is one of the seven departments of the museum. History. The museum was formally founded on 10 June 1793, during the French Revolution. Its origins lie in the ' (royal garden of medicinal plants) created by King Louis XIII in 1635, which was directed and run by the royal physicians. The royal proclamation of the boy-king Louis XV on 31 March 1718 removed the purely medical function. This allowed the garden, the ' (King's garden), to focus on natural history. For much of the 18th century (1739–1788), the garden was under the direction of Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, one of the leading naturalists of the Enlightenment. It brought international fame and prestige to the establishment. The royal institution survived the French Revolution by being reorganized in 1793 as a republican " with twelve professorships of equal rank. Some of its early professors included eminent comparative anatomist Georges Cuvier and evolutionary pioneers Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck and Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. The museum's aims were to instruct the public, put together collections and conduct scientific research.
The flag of Palestine () is a horizontal tricolour of black, white, and green; with a red triangle based at the hoist. Origin. At the time of World War I, various Arab tribes in the region united together to fight against the Ottomans who had been ruling various land in area for centuries, the event today is known as Arab Revolt. One of the main motive of this revolt was that the Arabs wanted to have their own country, led by Arab leaders. During this time, a leader named Hussein bin Ali, who was Sherif"(in charge)" of Mecca, made a special flag for this rebellion. This flag was meant to show that they were united and fighting for their own country. It had three stripes, one black, one white, and one green, just like the modern Palestinian Flag although the order of stripes are now changed. This flag became a symbol of their struggle for freedom. A modified version (changing the order of stripes) of this flag has been used in Palestine at least since the late 1930s and was officially adopted as the flag of the Palestinian people by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1964. At its first meeting on May 28, 1964, the Palestinian National Council drew up its National Charter, and its Article 27 stated that Palestine would have a flag, an oath, and an anthem, and its colors were specified in order as follows: green, white, then black with a red triangle. On November 15, 1988, the Palestine Liberation Organization adopted the flag as the flag of the Palestinian state. On 30 September 2015, the Palestinian flag was raised for the first time at the UN headquarters alongside flags of 193 other member states. Later that same day, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared September 30 of every year as Palestinian flag day.

A nomogram, alignment chart or abaque is a graph for calculation. It is a two-dimensional diagram which gives a computation of a mathematical function.  The field of nomography was invented in 1884 by the French engineer Philbert Maurice d’Ocagne (18621938). It was used for many years to provide engineers with fast graphical calculations of complicated formulas. Nomograms use a parallel coordinate system invented by d'Ocagne rather than standard Cartesian coordinates. A nomogram consists of a set of n scales, one for each variable in an equation. Knowing the values of n-1 variables, the value of the unknown variable can be found, or by fixing the values of some variables, the relationship between the unfixed ones can be studied.  The result is got by laying a straightedge across the known values on the scales and reading the unknown value from where it crosses the scale for that variable. The virtual or drawn line created by the straightedge is called an "index line" or "isopleth". Use. Nomograms were widely used for about 75 years. They allowed quick and accurate computations before the age of pocket calculators. Results from a nomogram are got quickly and reliably by drawing one or more lines. The user does not have to know how to solve algebraic equations, look up data in tables, use a slide rule, or substitute numbers into equations to obtain results. The user does not even need to know the underlying equation the nomogram represents.  Nomograms have domain knowledge into their design. For example, to create larger nomograms for greater accuracy the nomographer usually includes only scale ranges that are reasonable and of interest to the problem. Many nomograms include other useful markings such as reference labels and colored regions. All of these provide useful guideposts to the user.  Like a slide rule, a nomogram is a graphical analog computation device. Like the slide rule, its accuracy is limited by the precision with which physical markings can be drawn, reproduced, viewed, and aligned.A slide rule is a general-purpose calculator, but a nomogram is designed to perform a specific calculation. Nomograms can still be used to check an answer from another, more exact but possibly error-prone calculation.
