INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cut 13 three to four inch triangles out of the felt. Be careful to make them the same exact size. The top point of the triangles will be facing down. Then, sew through the top of the bunting, making sure to sew through the points where the triangles overlap. Loop the bunting around your neck. Pin it together where it meets. Draw eyeballs in the center with black permanent marker. If you want to emulate Kermit the frog, search for an image on a search engine and draw the eyes in a similar manner. Use super glue to ensure that they stay on. Make sure the black pupils are facing the right way when the clips are horizontal.

SUMMARY: Buy some bright green felt at the craft store. Pin the corners together to make a large bunting. Thread your sewing machine with green thread. Wear a green shirt and pants if you have them. Grab two small white felt balls or white Styrofoam balls. Glue the eyes to small alligator clips. Clip the clips into your hair or onto a hat when they are dry.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have a home filtration system, your water may not need to be dechlorinated. If not, you'll need to dechlorinate your tap water before introducing your fish to the water. The process is fairly simple, and there are two main methods of dechlorinating your water. You can dechlorinate your water naturally by leaving it out in an opened container for several days. Over time the chlorine will evaporate out of the container, leaving only the now-dechlorinated water. You can dechlorinate water quickly and easily by adding a few drops of dechlorination solution from your local pet store. Follow the instructions on the label to ensure that your water levels are safe for fish. A freshwater tank is somewhat easier to refill than a marine aquarium. You won't need to do much to the water, other than dechlorinating it and ensuring that it's the right temperature (if your aquatic organisms require a specific temperature range). Once you've dechlorinated enough water, you can simply pour it into the clean tank. If your fish require a specific temperature range, you'll need to monitor the temperature of the clean water before adding your fish. A saltwater tank can be a bit more work than a freshwater tank, but with a little patience it's easily manageable. The biggest difference between saltwater and freshwater aquariums is the need to salinate the water before adding it to the tank. Mix a new batch of saltwater by combining your preferred commercial salt mix and the right amount of dechlorinated tap water. The specific gravity of your saltwater should measure 1.025. Pour the prepared saltwater into the tank and fill it to your desired level. Be careful not to disturb any plants or live rocks at the bottom of the tank. If your aquatic organisms require a specific temperature range you'll need to make sure the water is an acceptable temperature before reintroducing your fish. Once your tank is refilled and the temperature is correct (if relevant), you're ready to reintroduce your aquatic organisms. You can either use nets to scoop them out of their secondary container and into the clean tank, or you can carefully and gently pour them with the water from their container into the tank. Make sure the filter and heater (if relevant) are working and have prepared the water before you reintroduce your aquatic organisms. Scooping and transferring them may be less stressful for the fish than pouring them back in.

SUMMARY: Dechlorinate enough tap water for your tank. Refill a freshwater tank. Set up a saltwater tank. Reintroduce your aquatic organisms.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is the simplest way to check that your answer is correct. If you solved for a variable or multiple variables, plug these solutions back into the equation and see if they make the equation true. If they do, then the solutions are correct. If the resulting equation isn't true, then you know you've made a mistake in your calculations. For example, if you are working with the equation 4x=24+6x{\displaystyle 4x=24+6x}, and you find that x=12{\displaystyle x=12}, substitute 12 into the equation for x{\displaystyle x} to see if it makes the equation true:4(12)=24+6(12){\displaystyle 4(12)=24+6(12)}48=24+72{\displaystyle 48=24+72}48=96{\displaystyle 48=96}Since the equation isn't true, you know that 12 isn't the correct solution, and you need to go back and check your work. Look back through your work and make sure that you completed all of your calculations in the correct order. You can recall the acronym PEMDAS to remember parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. For example, if you are solving the equation 3(2x+3)+142(42){\displaystyle 3(2x+3)+14-2(4^{2})} and you go back and see that your first step was to subtract 2 from 14, you know your answer is wrong, because you should have calculated the values in parentheses and exponents first, and then completed multiplication, before you did any adding and subtracting. A common error in algebra is making mistakes when working with positive and negative values. Go over your work again, and keep in mind the following rules about positive and negative signs: Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it.(3(7)=3+7=10{\displaystyle 3-(-7)=3+7=10}) Adding two negative numbers together results in a negative number. (3+7=10{\displaystyle -3+-7=-10}) A negative time a negative equals a positive.(37=21{\displaystyle -3 imes -7=21}) A negative times a positive equals a negative.(37=21{\displaystyle -3 imes 7=-21}) The variable x{\displaystyle -x} is not necessarily negative. The negative sign indicates that it is the opposite of whatever x{\displaystyle x} is. So, if x{\displaystyle x} is positive, x{\displaystyle -x} is negative. If x{\displaystyle x} is negative, x{\displaystyle -x} is positive. It helps to check your work with fresh eyes. If you have a problem that is giving you a lot of trouble, set it aside for a few hours, then come back to it later. On a separate sheet of paper, try reworking the problem without going over your original work. If possible, use a different method to solve this time. If your original solution and the new one match, you can be confident that your answer is correct. There are a number of calculators available online that allow you to type in your work, including variables, and calculate the solution. Most calculators also show you the steps needed in order to arrive at the solution. Some good sites for algebra calculators include Symbolab and Mathway. As when using a regular calculator, don't use an algebra calculator to do your work for you. Do the problems first, then use the algebra calculator to check your solutions. If your answer is incorrect, go back and rework the problem; don't just copy the solution from the calculator.

SUMMARY: Plug the solution back into the equation. Double-check the order of operations. Double-check signs. Set the work aside. Use an algebra calculator.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: I was just explaining something to him/her."

SUMMARY:
Your note must be small! It must be a working period were everyone is working individually at their desks. Get your friend to call you over or randomly go over to their desk. Pretend you're explaining something on their sheet, when secretly leaving the note on their desk. Whisper that you left the note there but quietly so it would look like you're helping them. If the teacher asks what you are doing, you say, "Sorry.
