Q: Children respond well to visual tools that help them understand addition concepts. Any easily handled object may be used, from beads or blocks to Cheerios. Start with a small number of items and use a variety of tactics to demonstrate number relationships: Give the child two small groups of items -- say, a group of two blocks and a group of three blocks. Have the child count the number of blocks in each group. Have the child combine these two groups of objects and count the total number of blocks. Explain that he or she has "added" these groups together. Provide a set number of objects -- six Cheerios, for example -- and ask your child how many ways he or she can combine groups of Cheerios to make six. She might create one group of five Cheerios, for example, and one group of one. Demonstrate how you can "add" to a group of objects by stacking. Start with a stack of three pennies, for example, and add two more to the stack. Ask your child to count how many pennies are now in the stack. " In a classroom setting, take advantage of your young students' need to move around regularly by using them as human manipulatives. Utilize tactics similar to those you'd use with objects to group and combine students and have them count themselves in different configurations. (Stacking students is not recommended!) Use modeling clay to create manipulative objects, or combine your addition lesson with an art lesson in using scissors to create a collection of paper shapes. Dice lend themselves easily to beginning addition games. Have students roll two dice and practice adding the resulting numbers. You may also use playing cards or dominoes. When working with groups of students with varying abilities you may tailor this game to provide an extra challenge for quick learners. Instruct them to add the results of three or more dice or playing cards. Use money to practice adding ones, fives, tens, and even intervals of 25. This tactic teaches money skills in addition to addition, and has the added benefit of demonstrating the practical advantages of learning addition.
A: Use objects to demonstrate how addition works. Group children and use their bodies as human "manipulatives. Consider having children create their own manipulatives. Employ game pieces in new ways to create addition games. Count with coins.

Q: Your ficus needs well-draining soil, preferably peat mix, to prevent it from becoming waterlogged. Add soil until the pot is about 1/4 to 1/2 of the way fullyou will fill it up completely as you transplant the ficus. You can buy well-draining soil mixes at most nurseries or garden centers. Check the packaging for "well-draining" or ask an employee for assistance. To check soil drainage, dig a 1 foot (0.30m) hole into the dirt and fill it with water. If the soil drains completely within 5-15 minutes, it is well-draining soil. Make sure that the new pot also has a few holes in the bottom to aid drainage. Use your hands to loosen the root ball as much as you can without breaking it. This will help the ficus absorb more water and nutrients when you transplant it and adapt better to its new container. Position the ficus tree upright into the pot. Fill the rest of the pot with soil until you reach the soil level of the plant's original level. Don't make your soil level any higher than the original container, which can suffocate the roots. Ficus trees prefer temperatures of around 6075F (1624C), or around room temperature. They also prefer bright, but not direct, sunlight. Whether you place your ficus tree indoors or outdoors, choose a spot with with moderate temperatures and lighting. Avoid spots with sudden temperature changes or cold drafts. Near a closed window, for example, is better than by an open door.
A: Fill the pot partway with well-draining soil. Loosen the roots before replanting the ficus. Place your ficus into the pot and fill it with soil. Place the pot in a spot with mild temperatures and bright lighting.

Q: On average, you probably need to use three to six pads or tampons per day. For heavier flow (the first few days of your period) and at night, use longer, heavier pads with wings (side protectors) to prevent spilling. Change your pad or tampon every four to eight hours, depending on your flow. Never wear a tampon for more than eight hours because of the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Don't be embarrassed if you accidentally bleed into your underwear or on your sheets. This happens to most women at some point. Rinse the linen with cold water and immediately put it in the wash. During your period, wear dark underwear and clothes. That way accidental spotting will be less noticeable. If this happens at school or in public, tie a sweatshirt around your waist to cover up until you get home. Getting comfortable with tampons can help if you like to swim, play sports, or be active. Tampons with applicators are easier to use than those without. If using a tampon is still uncomfortable, try a bit of vaginal lubricant on the end before inserting it. However, do not use petroleum jelly due to the risk of infection. You can also try alternate products during your period, like cups or THINX period undies. It's not only okay to shower during your period, it's important to do so. Showering helps you feel clean, and the warm water can improve menstrual cramps. Shower like normal, washing your vagina with warm water. When you're done, pat yourself dry with a dark colored towel to avoid staining linens, or dry your vagina with paper towels first. Then use a fresh pad, tampon, or cup before getting dressed. You can remove tampons and cups before showering, but you don't have to. Of course, take off your underwear and dispose of your pad first. If you're bleeding heavily, you should probably avoid taking a bath. The running water in a shower will wash blood away better than still bath water. Rinse any residue out of the shower when you're done don't leave it for the next person. . The best way to avoid accidentally bleeding into your underwear or being caught without tampons when you need them is to know generally when to expect your period. There are many websites and apps for this, like WebMDs Ovulation Calculator. Or use a journal, diary, or period calendar. Write down the first day of your period, and keep track over several months. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days long, but this can vary a lot. Count from the first day of your period one month to the first day of your period the next month. If you take an average over three months, you'll probably have a good idea how long your cycle is. For example, if it's 29 days one month, 30 days the next month, and 28 days the third month, add all these together and divide by 3 months your average cycle is 29 days long. However, keep in mind that your period can vary a lot while you are a teen and it may range from 21 to 45 days. If you have an irregular cycle, talk to your parent or a doctor for advice and possible treatment. . If you're not sure how to use a tampon, need help buying hygiene products, or have questions or concerns about your period, ask an older relative for advice. Remember that your mom, aunt, and older sister went through this at some point, too! You can also talk to your doctor, if that feels more comfortable.

Change your feminine hygiene products regularly. Shower regularly. Keep track of your period Ask for help
