Problem: Article: Now that your child is familiar with the entire chart, drill them. Drill them over breakfast, during commercials, and for a few minutes before bed. As you progress, get faster and faster and faster. At the beginning, start in order. As you get more and more convinced that they have it down, start mixing it up. They'll slow down initially but then should spark right back up to where they were. By this point, you both may be wondering what those squiggles in each number really are. Spice it up for the both of you with games and contests. Have your child make a set of flash cards. Write the problem, like 4 x 9, on the front and the answer, 36, on the back. The act of writing out the multiples will provide another repetition/reinforcement. Use a timer to see how many cards they can go through in a minute. Can they beat that score tomorrow? You could also do this with a blank chart. That's an easy way to monitor which ones they're struggling with. Grab a deck of cards. This game is similar to War, but with multiplication. You each get half the deck to place face down in front of you--don't look at the cards! Each player flips their first card simultaneously--the first person to say the answer based on the two numbers gets both cards (the object of the game is to win them all). If the two of you flip a 7 and a 5, the answer to shout out is 35. For Jacks, Queens, and Kings, you can use 11, 12, and 13, use them as 0's, or take them out entirely. Say a number, like 30. Can they list all of the possible combinations that multiply to it? 5 x 6? 3 x 10? Say a number, then ask for the next multiple. For example, start at 30 and ask for the next multiple of 6. Or start at 18 and ask for the next two multiples of 9. You could even start at 22 and ask for the next multiple of 4, even though 22 is not a multiple of 4. Be tricky once they have it. Try multiplication bingo. Your child fills in a six-by-six grid with whatever numbers they want. You read off a problem like "5 x 7." If they have 35 on their bingo card, then they mark it off. Continue until someone has a "bingo." What's the prize they could win?
Summary: Do speed drills. Make it fun.

Problem: Article: MacBooks produced in 2015 and later have one USB-C portalso known as a Thunderbolt 3 portlocated on the left side of the housing. If your MacBook was made from 2009 through 2015, it has a Mini DisplayPort on the left side of the housing. The Mini Displayport has a port that is square-shaped with the bottom corners cut. It has a label that resembles a TV screen. You'll need a USB-C to HDMI cable for MacBooks made in 2015 or later, while MacBooks which use Mini DisplayPort connections will require a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable. You can find your required cable in stores such as Best Buy, or you can find them online in places like Amazon and eBay. When buying an adapter cable, don't worry about spending more than around $15. Higher-priced cables don't necessarily equate to higher quality. This will prevent accidental damage to your TV. Your TV should have at least on HDMI port. An HDMI port resembles a 3/4 inch pentagonal slot. They're usually on the back or the side of the TV. Match the shape of the cable connector with the HDMI port and insert the cable into the port. For a MacBook made in 2015 or later, you'll plug the USB-C end of the cable into the oval port on the left side of your MacBook. For 2009 through 2015 MacBook models, the Mini DisplayPort end of the cable will plug into the port that has a label that resembles a TV screen. If you are using a USB-C adapter to connect to a TV, make sure your MacBook is charged before you begin. Press the power button on your TV or remote to power your TV on. It typically has an icon that resembles a circle with a line through the top. Press the Input,Video, or Source button on your TV or remote to select the HDMI port you connected your MacBook to.

Click and drag the "Underscan" slider that's at the bottom of the page left to show more of your Mac's screen on the TV or right to zoom in the screen. This will help you fit your Mac's screen to your TV if the image on the TV is too large or too small. Alternatively, you can click the resolution you want to display. A standard HDTV display is usually 1920 x 1080. A 4K Ultra HDTV is usually 3840 x 2160. You can't use a resolution that's higher than your TV's built-in resolution (e.g., 4K). It's in the upper-left corner of the System Preferences window. This takes you back to the main menu of the System Preferences menu. It has an icon that resembles a speaker. It's at the top of the Sound window. Doing so brings up a list of speakers to which your Mac currently has access to. One of which should be your TV's name. This ensures that your MacBook will use your TV's speakers instead of its own. If your TV's name is highlighted, your MacBook is already using your TV's speakers. Pre 2009 MacBook models can only supply video (no audio) through a Mini DisplayPort. You can connect to external speakers using the headphone jack on your MacBook.

Problem: Article: The best way to ensure you're exercising enough is to commit to a regimen that will cover your weekly exercise needs. Aim to exercise 5 days a week for 30 minutes each day to get enough exercise to keep your kidneys (and the rest of your body) healthy. If your time is limited, you can also do 10 minutes of exercise 3 times each day. The best way to maintain good health is to practice sports that will engage more than just one muscle group. Besides helping to strengthen the muscles in your whole body, these exercises will help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of kidney disease. Some good examples of full-body exercises include swimming, cycling, mountain biking, dance, and rowing. Walking is a very effective and natural exercise for people and can do a lot to help you maintain a more active lifestyle. Make your legs your main form of transportation whenever possible to help reduce your risk of kidney disease. Try walking to work instead of driving or commuting. If you have to take the bus, consider getting off a couple of stops early and walking the rest of the way. If possible, opt for taking the stairs instead of using the elevators. If you decide to commit to regular exercise, make sure to choose an activity that you enjoy. Otherwise, your willpower might fade and you won't be motivated to keep up with your daily exercise. Consider joining a football team in your neighborhood, taking tennis lessons, learning to skate, trying an aqua aerobics class, taking dance classes with a loved one, or playing outside with your children and friends. All these activities improve your general health and produce endorphins, the hormones associated with well-being and happiness.
Summary:
Commit to doing 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. Choose full-body exercises to get the most out of your workouts. Take advantage of opportunities to walk more. Participate in physical activities that you enjoy so you'll stick with it.
