INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A fraction is always written with one number on top of a line and another number underneath that line. The numerator of a fraction is the top number. It is the "part" of the "whole" that you are talking about. For example, in the fraction , 1 is the numerator. The fraction indicates one part of a whole that has four parts. The denominator is the bottom number of the fraction and represents the "whole". It is the number of parts the whole is divided into. To remember the denominator think "down"-ominator. For example, in the fraction , 4 is the denominator. This whole has been divided into four equal parts. A fraction is considered improper if the numerator (the top number) is larger than the denominator (the bottom number). When working with fractions, you never want to write a final solution as an improper fraction. Always remember to simplify it into a mixed or whole number. Some examples of improper fractions: 10/3, 9/4, 15/3, 25/5. into mixed or whole numbers. Some fractions can simply be divided into a whole number, while others will not divide evenly. Numbers that don't divide evenly must be rewritten as a mixed number. To simplify an improper fraction, first divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, for the fraction 10/3, divide 10 by 3. 3 goes into 10 three times (3 x 3 = 9), but there will be a remainder of 1. Write the remainder as a fraction of the original denominator. With a remainder of 1 the fraction of the mixed number will be 1/3. The mixed number of 10/3 is 31/3. Note, not all improper fractions will be mixed numbers; some will simplify into whole numbers. For example: 25/5 simplifies to 5. You might be surprised to find that you use fractions on a pretty regular basis throughout your day. You may know fractions by a different name, decimals. Do you ever trade or share food with your friends at lunch? Maybe you trade half of your chips for half a dessert. These are fractions! Do you ever help your parents with baking? Measuring cups use fractions. A recipe may call for teaspoon of vanilla or 2/3 of a cup of flour. Pay attention throughout your day and see how many times you use fractions without even realizing it.

SUMMARY: Identify the numerator. Identify the denominator. Recognize an improper fraction. Simplify improper fractions Identify the use of fractions in your daily life.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Conversing is a very effective way to get to know somebody and to see if they share the same interests as you do. Starting a conversation or just a quick chat will also help you know whether they are into you or not. Just don't push it. Keep it interesting! Talk to them on a regular basis making small talk, but occasionally talk about more serious things or engage in a lengthy conversation. If the conversation naturally deepens and you start to share secrets or dreams, you will bond. Listen a lot, and respond compassionately. Don't make the conversation all about you. Maybe you should go for broke. Consider it, anyway, when the time is right. Tell your crush how you really feel. Lay all your cards on the table at once. Just make sure you two are alone and that you say it as casually as possible. Try to be in the same groups if you go to the same school. Always smile at the crush but not too eagerly. Do it just enough to get them to smile back and walk over to you. Ask for his or her Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook because it's less obvious than asking for a phone number, but you'll have the details. Try to send signals verbally and through body language. These signals of interest will let the crush know (consciously or subconsciously) that you are crushing on them, and they might just catch feelings for you. Give small hints with your body language. This may happen on its own. Watch for signs that your crush is doing this too. Open up to your crush, and don't be afraid to show the person your vulnerable side. You need to let the crush know (wordlessly) that they are special. Laugh a lot. Get a little flirty. Say the person's name. People love hearing their name being said. Compliment the crush. Don't forget to be kind and awesome! Touch your crush in a flirtatious way. Not in a creepy way. Touch the crush's arm. It will show that you like the crush, but it will not make the crush think you want to date them if they do not want to. Just lightly touch their shoulder, or give them a high-five, or even a hug goodbye. Bite your lip, coyly smile when they tease you, run your fingers through your hair (always works), and blink more than usual. These things just happen. Getting someone to notice you is hard, as is keeping their attention. If you want someone to notice you, make eye contact, but not for too long. It's sort of like playing with a small pet and dangling a string in their faces. Pulling the string back and forth keeps their attention. This doesn't mean you stare at the crush constantly. That can give anyone a big creep factor. To make eye contact with a crush, you should glance at them, smile, and then put your head down or look away shyly. This will give the crush a hint that you like them without freaking them out. Eye contact also conveys confidence, which is appealing to most people because it's a way of building intimacy. People who are in love have more eye contact, studies show.

SUMMARY: Strike up a conversation. Send your crush flirtatious signals, and see if they respond. Make eye contact.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Nobody likes to see trash blowing around the parking lot as they walk to and from the business, so stow the empty fast food wrappers, ashtray contents, drink bottles, and other potential debris until you have access to a waste receptacle. This should also apply to sales fliers and business literature, including that which is conveniently posted underneath windshield wiper blades while you are searching for your latest bargain. Many large stores have cart corrals for shopping carts when the customer is finished unloading them. Putting the carts in these locations will make it less likely the cart you were using will end up denting someone else's car.

SUMMARY: Keep the parking lot clean. Park shopping carts, dollies, and baskets in designated areas.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A traumatic experience is one that terrifies or shocks the child and may have felt life-threatening (whether real or perceived) and caused the child to feel extremely vulnerable. Potentially traumatizing events include... Natural disasters Vehicle accidents and other accidents Neglect Verbal, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse (including things like compliance therapy, restraint, or seclusion) Sexual assault or rape Wide-scale violence, like a mass shooting or terrorist attack War Violent/intense bullying or victimization Witnessing someone else's trauma (e.g. witnessing abuse) If two children go through the same experience, they may have different symptoms or different severity of trauma. What is traumatizing to one child may simply be upsetting to another. A parent suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder can also be a trigger for a child to develop a traumatized response. A child may even react more strongly to trauma because adults around them have done so, especially parents because they're so attuned to them.

SUMMARY:
Be aware of what can be considered a traumatic experience for a child. Recognize that different people respond to trauma differently. Consider signs of trauma in parents and other loved ones close to the child.
