Communicating a fraction visually makes it apparent to other people. They're a perfect way to express proportions to others, especially if those people don't have a mathematical background. Visual estimations are best-suited for comparing one fraction against another. The human eye is trained to compare and measure things, even without mathematical experience. Putting something in visual terms helps to ease the mind from purely abstract, numbers-based thinking. Visual estimations are also perfect for use in casual, "real life" settings. For example, a 12/16 fraction may look bigger than 7/8 in a purely numerical form, but a simple graph of the two next to each other will easily show the latter is bigger than the former. The two main types of visually-illustrated fractions are line and circle graphs. Lines are best for measurements, whereas circles (or "pie charts") are best for showing proportions. Different visual models will fit different people. Whether you want to use a pie chart, rectangle, chart or some other way of visualizing your proportions, an illustration of a fraction will give you a reference point to think about it in more concrete terms. Different proportions can be indicated by different shades or colours. For example, two shaded thirds of a pie circle indicates a 2/3 fraction. It's a good idea to play around with a few visual models using the same set of fractions. This will show you how different models can represent the same thing. Using chocolate pieces, building blocks or even pebbles, you can estimate your fractions by setting different pieces into groups. A fraction with 50 parts (17/50+33/50) can be expressed by separating 50 pieces into two groups. With that, you'll be able to visually see how one fraction sizes up to the other. By illustrating two or more proportions next to one another, you'll have an easy visual reference as to which fractions are biggest, and which are smallest. The human eye will be able to identify the distinction almost without thinking, so it's a nice way to communicate it in clear terms. Relative fractions are all around us, and we often make choices based on estimating fractions without even thinking about it. If you're looking for a way to practice your fraction estimating, put two items of different heights next to each other. From there, try to guess what proportion of the larger object's size is matched by the smaller one. You can check your answers by placing a ruler and measuring the appropriate dimensions of your items after the fact. Pie charts are a great way of expressing proportions in a visual way. If you're a visual thinker, it's a good idea to work your rounded fractions into a circle. From there, you can express your estimation without having to rely on rounded numbers that may not be accurate. Unlike graphs (which tend to rely on exact data) a pie chart is supposed to be a quick way of showing visual data. It's generally easier to visually analyze the parts of a circle than other visual models, as a full circle represents a whole.

summary: Gauge the validity of a visual estimation. Choose a visual model. Illustrate fractions with physical pieces. Stack your proportions beside one another. Make a pie chart.

You want your shoulders to start off bearing most of the weight to ensure good technique. This will help promote better posture when you finally lift. This should produce an arch in your back, meaning more torque that you can bring to the exercise. Keep your neck resting comfortably on the bench at all times. Lock your thumb under the bar. A good rule of thumb (get it?) is to have it resting on top of your index finger. Depending on your height and the length of your arms, position your hands on the bar so that your forearms are perfectly vertical when the bar is brought down to the chest. Many people achieve this by gripping the bar a little wider than shoulder-length apart. The wider the grip, the more you tend to activate the chest muscles. The tighter your grip, the more you tend to activate your triceps muscles. Do what feels comfortable. People with longer arms will probably feel more comfortable gripping the bar farther apart than people with shorter arms. When benching, you push off at least partly with your shoulders. If your shoulders are hanging off the side of the bench or aren't centered, you're going to lose that fulcrum and your ability to bench much more weight will go down. With a spotter, the fear that you won't be able to max out usually falls away: If you struggle with a heavy weight, your spotter will be there to bail you out. This is an important psychological factor. You should always be pushing yourself above your current plateau in order to bench more weight, and a spotter makes that journey more safe. Inhale at the top of your bench. After you've gotten nearly up to the top of your rep, exhale. Inhale again at the top and repeat the technique for maximum power. Remember, proper breathing sends oxygenated blood to your muscles.

summary: Start off with your feet on the bench, your pelvis high, and your shoulders sinking down into the bench. Lower your feet to the ground, your butt to the bench, all while maintaining the shoulder contact with the bench. Lock the bar with a closed grip, making sure to use your thumb. Learn where to position your hands for maximum load-bearing capacity. Move your shoulders side to side to maintain maximum contact with the bench. Always use a spotter. Practice proper breathing technique.

Dressing in clothes that you enjoy can boost your mood and help you feel confident, no matter what your size is. Look for clothes that flatter your figure, but don't feel confined by what plus-sized women and girls are supposed to be able to "pull off." If you feel confident and happy in a crop-top or a form-fitting summer dress, go for it! . Getting a new haircut can feel like a fresh start when you're feeling down. A good haircut or color can also bring out your best features. A haircut with face-framing layers or waves can slim and lengthen round faces. Don't feel restricted to what's supposed to look good with your facial type, howevergo for what feels right to you! Good makeup can define and flatter your features, and it can also be just plain fun to play with. Experiment with different products and techniques until you find a look that feels right for you. Contouring can help you slim your face and bring out features you like (e.g., your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, or the arch of your eyebrows). If you're not into makeup, that's fine, too! Only wear it if it helps you feel happy and confident. , even if you don't feel it. Acting confident can actually help you feel more confident. Looking and acting confident will help you both look and feel your best, so make a habit of practicing your "confidence act" every day. You can appear (and feel) more confident by: Using good posture. Stand or sit up tall, keep your shoulders back, and hold your chin up. Practice smiling more often. Even a "fake" smile can trigger your brain to release feel-good chemicals that lift your mood. Make eye contact. Locking eyes with another person shows that you are both confident and interested in what they have to say. You don't have to stare at them constantly, but try maintaining eye contact for 5-15 seconds at a time.
summary: Wear clothes you love. Choose flattering hairstyles Try makeup that brings out your best features. Act confident
