Article: Using a clicker involves reinforcing positive behavior with a sound. When the cat does something you approve of, like squatting towards a sitting position, reward the cat and hit the clicker. Try to avoid rewarding the cat without the clicker noise so there is no confusion about why a reward is happening. Initially you may have to use the clicker with a treat without any action by the cat, just to get the ball rolling. As a substitute for a clicker you can use a ball point pen. Begin the process by making a specific, repeatable sound before feeding the cat. Preferably, this sound can be before opening a can of cat food. Once the cat associates that sound with food, the sound can be used for specific training without food. When you see your cat start to move towards a sit, make the vocal cue. If the cat sits, make the same sound. A great way to use this vocal training is to simply get your cat to come to you. After the cat has made a solid association, initiate the training in small steps. Don't allow your cat to jump for the treat. The same vocal cue strategies used to reinforce positive actions can be used to tell your cat that the treat isn't permitted without sitting down. Try putting a bell at your cat's eye level and showing it a treat. When the cat wants something and starts to meow, ignore it. When the bell is rung, however, look for the cat to sit and reward it immediately. Ignore destructive behavior. Wait for the desired reaction (e.g. squatting towards a sit or actually sitting).

Get a clicker. Use vocal cues. Give your cat a bell to ring.

Problem: Article: Use hand pruners that are good and sharp. Bypass pruners with a scissor action are best. You should also consider wearing working gloves as Helleborus have thorns that can do some damage. Wait until mid-winter to prune your plant (the new flower buds should just be forming at this time). Cut the old foliage that is growing around the outside of the plant all the way off at the base. These old leaves are usually unsightly and can harbor bacteria and fungal spores that can infect winter rose plants. The new leaves that grow up from the center will open and spread out as they grow. Always remove the old leaves from the garden after pruning. As the season progresses, some of the new leaves may begin to look tattered. These damaged leaves can be pruned off at any time during the season to make the plant look more neat and tidy. Helleborus is very forgiving, and will allow you to prune it year round without any adverse side-effects. If you notice that a section of your plant has become diseased, cut away that section of the rose to stop the spread of the disease. After you have removed the diseased growth, burn it or put it in bags in the trash. Do not put diseased foliage in the compost container, as ding this may still allow the disease to spread. Once you have cut away all of the diseased parts of the plant, wash your pruning shears with hot water and soap. This will keep your pruners from spreading the disease to other plants the next time you use them.
Summary: Use the proper pruning tools. Prune your plant in mid-winter. Prune away any damaged parts of the plant as the growing season continues. Cut away diseased parts of the plant as soon as you notice diseased growth.

SUMMARY: Options below.

It's easier for students to understand division if they can imagine a set of items being divided equally amongst a group. While 10/5 might seem confusing, giving out 10 cookies to 5 friends makes it seem simple! If you're teaching your own child, you can introduce division by having them help you divide items into goody bags or separate baked goods into sandwich bags to hand out to friends. In a classroom setting, students can work in groups to divide a number of items, such as candies or plastic bears, evenly among themselves. Most students begin to learn division in the 3rd grade or around the age of 8 or 9. Ask them to divide the same larger number into smaller groups of various sizes. You can use manipulatives, pictures of the items, or a worksheet. This helps them get a better grasp about how basic division works. Manipulatives are any small item that represents the numerical amounts in math problems, such as beans or plastic coins. Your student can physically see and touch the items, which helps them better understand the mathematical concepts. For example, give them 24 beans, then ask them to separate the beans into 2 groups, 3 groups, 4 groups, 6 groups, 8 groups, and finally 12 groups. Explain to them that this is the same as dividing the number 24 by each of these numbers. This seems simple, but it's an easy step to overlook. Before your student can start working through problems on paper, they need to know the symbols they'll use. For example, 10 divided by 5 can be written like this: 10/5 or 105. Show them every way that the problem can be written. They already understand multiplication, so this is a good scaffolding to build on. Show them how the times table can be worked backwards using division. For example, go through the 5 times tables, starting at 5 x 10 = 50. Show your student that 50/10 = 5. Then go to 5 x 9 = 45, and explain that 45/9 = 5. Continue until you complete the times table. Provide your student with simple math problems consisting of numbers that divide evenly. Remind your student that division effectively creates smaller groups out of a larger sum. You can work backwards from multiplication tables. For example, when dividing by 3, the math problems would include 3/3, 6/3, 9/3, 12/3, 15/3, etc. At this point, make sure the numbers divide evenly. You can download free worksheets for your student to use for practice by searching online for "division worksheets." Choose worksheets for beginners. You can also create your own worksheets. For beginners, focus on numerical problems. However, they may benefit from illustrations or context. For example, you might make a worksheet about dividing pizza for a party. The context is that the student must divide certain numbers of pizza slices per varying numbers of guests, but the math problems will contain just numbers, such as 12/3, 12/4, 24/8, etc.

One-sentence summary --
Present division as a way to share. Show your student how to divide items into smaller, equal groups. Teach your student the symbols used for division problems. Explain that division is the opposite of multiplication. Begin dividing by numbers, starting with 1 and working up to 10.
