Summarize the following:
Write down whole numbers and explain that each number stands for a place value. Show your students which place stands for ones, tens, and hundreds. For instance, write down 382. Tell students that the number farthest to the right, or 2, stands for ones, the next number to the left, or 8, is the tens place, and the next to the left, or 3, is hundreds. Explain that not all numbers are whole numbers. Describe how 5 and 6 are whole numbers, but there are lots of numbers in between them. Show your students how to place a decimal point to the right of the ones place, and mention that numbers after the point are in between 2 whole numbers. Write "5." and say, "If you see another 5 after the point (write '5.5'), that means it's in between 5 and 6." Explain that, like whole numbers, there are place values to the right of a decimal point. Tell students that ones are always immediately to the left of a decimal point. Show them that tenths are always immediately to the right, followed by hundredths and thousandths. Over-pronounce tenths and hundredths to avoid confusing decimal place values with tens and hundreds. Explain that decimals and fractions are 2 ways of representing "in-between" numbers. Tell learners that fractions can be turned into a decimal that stands for the same number. Coloring grids or shapes is helpful. Draw a rectangle, then add lines to divide it into 10 equal strips. Have them color in a strip, then explain that the strip is 1/10 of the rectangle. Tell them that 0.1 is another way of saying 1/10, or one-tenth. Write down basic sample fractions, such as 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4. Explain that the fraction means the number on top is divided by the number on the bottom. Show students that dividing the top number, or 1, by the bottom number, or 4, gives you a decimal value, or 0.25. Practice using division to convert basic fractions to decimals. Then show how the decimal place values, such as the tenths and hundredths places, relate to the top and bottom numbers of the fraction. For example, 0.25 means 25/100. Write down a series of mixed decimal numbers and read them out loud. Teach your students to use the correct place values instead of reading 1.5 as "one point five." Write down 25.45 and read it out loud as "twenty-five and forty-five hundredths." Write 54.035 and read it as "fifty-four and thirty-five thousandths." After demonstrating how to read decimals, write down several examples and have them read the numbers out loud. If necessary, correct them gently and say, "That's a great try, but remember this number means thousandths. Give it another shot!" Describe how place values in whole numbers and decimals differ. Explain that, while hundreds are greater than tens, tenths are greater than hundredths. Line up 2 decimal numbers on top of each other to demonstrate how to find out which one is bigger. For instance, write:3.5353.353 Explain that they need to look at the tenths place first to find the bigger number. Since 5 is greater than 3, 3.535 is greater than 3.353. It might be tough for beginners to compare numbers such as 3.5 and 3.350, since 350 looks like it's bigger than 5. Tell your students that they can add zeroes to the right of a decimal to fill in place values. Mention that adding zeroes to the right doesn't change the number's value. They might have an easier time seeing that 3.500 is greater than 3.350. Adding zeroes to decimals will also come in handy when it's time to teach addition and subtraction.

summary: Start by reviewing whole number place values. Explain that decimals are "in-between" numbers. Introduce decimal place values. Describe how fractions and decimals are related. Explain how to convert fractions to decimals using division. Practice reading fractions and decimal values out loud. Explain how to see if one number is bigger than another. Add zeroes to help your students visualize place values.

The best way to avoid getting hit is by avoiding a fight entirely. Try to calm the guy down. Swallow your pride and apologize if you unknowingly did something that offended your attacker. While apologizing or calming the guy down, try to keep a look of confidence about you. Confidence can be intimidating. Don't look away even for a second--the one moment you look away may be the moment that he decides to go in for a punch. Instead, follow his movements with your eyes. Use your peripheral vision to keep track of where you are in the space that you are fighting in--you wouldn't want to trip over something. If he has to stretch to hit you, chances are he won't take that challenge. Instead, keep a bit of space between you and your opponent so that you can determine when you want to go in for a punch. By controlling the distance between you, you can begin to control the fight. Whether or not you are the one who instigated this fight, you will have to participate if it is in self-defense. An important part of avoiding getting hit is staying as alert as possible during the fight. Do not let yourself get distracted. You may be able to win the fight without ever having to throw a punch (or taking one). Simply keep moving, forcing your opponent to really work to keep up with you. Chances are, if you are really determined, you will wear your opponent out before he has a chance to attack. If you can't get out of the fight and it doesn't seem like your opponent is going to let up, you might consider going on the attack. This could be a punch or, if you are defending yourself, an end-it move like a kick or knee to the groin. Whether this means tiring your opponent out, going in for a big hit, or simply walking away, you will need to end the fight. Assess your situation and choose the best option.

summary: Try to diffuse the situation. Keep a close eye on your opponent's movements. Keep a bit of distance between yourself and your opponent. Do not let your guard down. Tire your opponent out. Go on the attack. Finish the fight.

You aren't completely hopeless if you can't afford to live on your own. Now more than ever, people are living with roommates to afford rent. Consider this option carefully, however; trying to find a roommate will split the cost of rent and utilities in half, but it can add a lot of stress as well. Consider a few key issues before searching for a roommate: Would you be comfortable sharing a room or an apartment? Are you expecting your roommate to be your best friend? Do you feel comfortable having someone around your personal belongings? How clean are you? Are you loud? How clean and loud would you want your roommate to be? Sharing a room with a brother, sister, or cousin is great training for life with a roommate. If you are close with one of your siblings, you may want to move out together. Make sure you trust one another to pay the bills on time. There are many ways to find roommates, whether it is through mutual friends or social media sites, but once you found someone who wants to live in the same area as you and is financially stable, talk to them in person. Some questions you should ask are: How clean are you? When do you go to bed, and how often do you have company? Do you have any pets, and will a significant other be living with you? Can you pay all bills on time? See if these questions influence your decision to live with the potential roommate. Your lifestyles should be mostly similar. Conflict is bound to happen when living with others. What matters is how you deal with it. Pretending to not be bothered by your roommate's behavior will lead to frustration, but constant bickering is stressful. If you need to confront your roommate, choose your words carefully so your roommate does not feel attacked. "I feel frustrated when you don't wash the dishes because the room smells" is better than "You're a slob." Focus on the behavior, not the person. Confront problems as they arise, not when you are frustrated and overwhelmed. If your roommate confronts you, remember that they are trying to improve your relationship. Listen and reflect on what your roommate tells you.
summary: Decide if you want a roommate. Consider living with a sibling or relative. Interview potential roommates in person. Deal with conflict in a healthy way.
