You can use sites like WordPress to design your own professional website. Here, you can include links to your songs and performances, news about your upcoming shows, and basic contact information. Having a website is invaluable, as it will allow producers and managers to reach out to you to book gigs. Look for shows in your area as well as open mics. The more you perform, the more likely you are to break out into the scene professionally. Audition for gigs whenever possible and try to perform as regularly as you can. Remember to make the most of every gig. Sell CDs afterwards and direct people to your web and social media pages. Think about how you want to brand yourself as a female artist. Having a solid brand, that includes specific logs and labels, can help you get noticed by a record company. Stories tend to sell, so think about your personal origin story. On your website, talk about how and why you decided to become a rapper. Maybe you grew up in a male-dominated family and rapping helped you find your voice. If you know graphic design, or have friends who are graphic designers, design some logos and symbols to represent your work. Having a symbol or logo attached to your name helps your brand become more recognizable. Choose record companies that produce the kind of music you love and that is similar to your style. Look up the guidelines for submitting music to these companies and make a solid portfolio that showcases your best work. Many record companies may have open submission periods where they're on the lookout for new artists, so send in your materials then. If you sample other tracks for some of your raps, you may want to leave these songs out of your portfolio. Record companies are often concerned about copyright laws.

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.
