Summarize the following:
This isn't absolutely necessary, but it's useful, as it allows you to visualize your given data as a range of values over a length of time. For our purposes, simple tables will usually suffice - simply use two columns, listing your values for time in the left column and the corresponding values for your quantity in the right column, as above. Your data should have regular values for time, each with a corresponding value for your quantity. The units for these time values aren't important - this method will work for data collected over spans of minutes, seconds, days, etc. In our case, our data is expressed in terms of years. Insert your past and present values into a new formula: (present) = (past) * (1 + growth rate)n where n = number of time periods. This method will give us an average growth rate for each time interval given past and present figures and assuming a steady rate of growth. Because our example uses years, this means we'll get an average annual growth rate. Manipulate the equation via algebra to get "growth rate" by itself on one side of the equal sign. To do this, divide both sides by the past figure, take the exponent to 1/n, then subtract 1. If your algebra works out, you should get: growth rate = (present / past)1/n - 1 . Insert values for your past and present values, as well as a value for n (which will be the number of time intervals in your data, including your past and present values.) Solve according to basic principles of algebra, order of operations, etc. In our example, we'll use our present figure of 310 and our past figure of 205, along with a time period of 9 years for n. In this case, the average annual growth rate is simply (310/205)1/9 - 1 = .0422 0.0422 x 100 = 4.22%. On average, our value grew by 4.22 percent each year.

summary: Organize your data in a table. Use a growth rate equation which takes into account the number of time intervals in your data. Isolate the "growth rate" variable. Solve for your growth rate.

When writing instructions, make sure to format them clearly. This helps the reader understand how to read the instructions and not get confused. Use a headings to label each discrete part of the instructions. Use numbers when listing the steps in order. Use bullets to list alternatives, additional information, or anything else under the steps. Visually separate the steps. Place a space between the steps to show a difference. The title of the instructions should give an exact preview of what the instructions will explain. For example, "Instructions for Baking an Eggless Chocolate Cake" is much more specific than "Chocolate Cake." Some instructions require diagrams, pictures, charts, or other visual aids to help. Supplement the instructions with these visuals when needed. The visuals should repeat the ideas in the prose, not present any new information. Visuals are supplement material. Make sure visuals are near the prose. It should go above, below, or beside the step.

summary: Format the instructions. Choose an effective title. Use visuals and diagrams if necessary.

Tokens have been updated from the original monopoly board game to reflect the new age of electronic banking. Options include a space shuttle, Segway and flat screen television. Each player can choose whichever token appeals to them. Roll to determine who goes first. Every player should roll both dice and add the amount shown on each die to total their roll. The player with the highest total starts the game. Roll again to determine the number of spaces you move your token on the board. If you roll a double (the same number on both die), complete your turn and roll again for a second turn. If you roll another double you get another turn. If you roll three doubles in a row, though, you go to jail. Move the number of spaces which you roll on the dice. perform the function required according to the spot where you land. Pay rent. Pay taxes. Draw a card from the community chest. Go to jail. Purchase the property. Each time you complete a pass of the board and move beyond "Go," you will receive $2 million dollars from the bank. When you land on the community chest, you must draw the first card in the stack and follow the directs listed on the card, then place it face down, back on the bottom of the deck. Move to the space instructed on the card in the direction indicated by the arrow. Collect $2 million dollars if you move forward past "Go," but not if you move backward. If you draw a "Get out of jail free" card, you can sell it to another player at a price you both agree on, or save it for later. This space allows you to complete any transactions on your turn, while not owing anything to another player or drawing a card. There are several ways you can be sent to jail. Get out of jail by paying your bond, rolling doubles, or using a "Get out of jail free" card. You can be sent to jail by landing on the "Go to jail" space, drawing a "Go to jail" card from the community chest, or rolling three sets of doubles in a row. Your turn is over once you go to jail. On your next turn, you can try 3 times to roll doubles. If you fail, you owe the bank $500 thousand dollars to get out of jail. Once you pay, move your token according to the total of your final roll. Use a "Get out of jail free" card if you have one or offer to buy one from another player. You can still collect rent while in jail. If you simply land on the jail space, you are just visiting and there is no penalty.
summary: Assign tokens. Roll the dice. Move tokens around the board. Collect $2 million dollars. Draw a card from the community chest. Take a break at free parking. Get out of jail.
