Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Visit your doctor if you develop knock knees in adulthood. See your doctor if your knock knees don't improve in 2-3 months. Take your child to a pediatrician if their knock knees are abnormal or persist. Talk to your doctor about orthotic shoe inserts to modify knock knees. Ask your doctor about exercises to decrease knock knees. Discuss surgery if all other treatments have failed.

Answer: Normally, knock knees is a childhood condition that goes away as you grow up. Rarely, it can develop in adulthood. When this happens, it's usually caused by an underlying condition that might require treatment. Talk to your doctor to find out if you need additional treatment.For instance, arthritis may cause knock knees. If your knock knees aren't improved through dietary and lifestyle changes, your doctor can help you determine if another condition is causing your symptoms. If the condition lasts for longer than 2-3 months, schedule an appointment with your doctor. When you make your visit, be prepared to answer questions regarding your family medical history. The doctor may also: Inspect your legs to see if their lengths differ Look at your knees to see if they align Ask you to walk around the room to see how your knees move. Occasionally, knock knees is a sign of a medical condition and needs to be checked by a doctor. Schedule an appointment and take your child to the pediatrician if your child doesn't outgrow their knock knees. If your local pediatrician isn't able to diagnose the issue causing your child's knock knees, they may refer you to a pediatric orthopedist. Take your child to the doctor if you notice any of the following symptoms: Extreme and abnormal-looking leg curvature Unequal leg curvature between the right and left legs, such as leaning to one side Knock knees persisting after the child turns 7 If the child is abnormally short for their age and can't stand up straight If your doctor believes that orthotics will be useful in improving your knock knees, they may suggest that you try to physically re-align the angle of your knees with orthotics. You'll place the orthotics into the bottoms of your shoes and alter the angle at which you walk or at which your foot touches the ground. You can purchase orthotics at a physical therapy supply store or at a medical supply store. If you're healthy enough to perform exercises, your doctor can recommend an exercise regimen that will strengthen your leg muscles and let the knock knees correct themselves. In some cases, the doctor will also recommend that you work with a physical therapist. Recommended exercises include: Wall squats Side lunges Hamstring curls If you have a severe, painful case of knock knees that doesn't respond to any other means of treatment, surgery may be the only remaining option. In most instances, the doctor will perform an osteotomy by inserting a small permanent metal plate into your knee. The plate will align your knees properly to fix the leaning joints. You shouldn't feel any pain during the operation, since you'll have been given a local anesthetic. After surgery, you will likely experience discomfort during your recovery.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Water the bulbs about once a week. Fertilize the bulbs once a year. Avoid cutting the plant when it browns. Spread mulch over the bulb garden in the fall. Put up nets to block pests that damage bulbs.

Answer: Before giving the bulbs more water, check the soil. If it is moist, hold off on watering. Bulbs are prone to rotting in moist conditions, so avoid adding water unless it is necessary. If you get rain in your area during the week, you probably will not need to water the bulbs. Bulbs in pots need more care, so check them frequently to ensure the soil stays moist. Bulbs are low-maintenance, so you don't need to add fertilizer often. Try to apply the fertilizer at the same time every year. Purchase a balanced fertilizer or bone meal and spread it in a thin layer over the bulb garden. You can add the fertilizer when planting the bulbs, when they start growing in spring, or after they bloom in summer. Read the instructions on the fertilizer to ensure you use the appropriate amount. After the bulbs bloom, the visible parts of the plant wither and die. While this isn't the prettiest sight, it's good for the plant. The plant reverts nutrients back to the bulb. Cutting off the leaves and other parts can make your bulb weaker next year. Once most of the plant has browned and collapsed, you can cut the parts off with a knife or garden pruners. Before the ground freezes, cover your gardening area with a mulch such as pine bark. Make a layer about 4in (10cm) deep. The mulch helps insulate your bulbs as well as protect them from weeds and pesky animals that may want to dig up your garden. Mulch does not have to be added in the warmer months. Since it retains moisture, mulching in warm weather may lead to rotten bulbs. Digging animals, like squirrels, are the main threat to your bulbs. In the fall, install wire netting or make a cage out of cloth and chicken wire. Use it to cover your bulb garden so that animals stay away. Spraying the ground with a natural repellant, such as castor oil, can scare away moles, deer, snails, and other nuisances. During the growing months, monitor your plants for bite marks from deer and snails.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start with numbers that divide evenly. Explain how to divide the divisor into the first number of the dividend. Show the student how to find the remainder to carry over. Divide the divisor into the next number, including any remainder. Continue working the problem until you arrive at your answer. Demonstrate how to find the remainder. Show them how to write a remainder, if there is one. Provide practice problems to help them work through the steps.

Answer:
Long division is easier to understand if you start with a large number that's divided evenly. This will show the student the process for working though the problem without any complicating factors. For example, 63/3=21. The 3 will go into the 6 evenly, then the 3 will go into the 3 evenly. There are no remainders on either step. Most students will begin learning long division in 3rd grade, or around the age of 8 or 9. The divisor is the number that you are dividing by, while the dividend is the number you're dividing into. Tell your student that they will need to divide each unit in the dividend by the divisor, starting with the largest unit. For example, you'd divide the 100s unit, then the 10s unit, and finally the 1s unit. Let's say your problem is 54/3. Your divisor is 3, which goes into 5 just 1 time. However, you are left with a remainder of 2, which your student will need to save for the next step. Similarly, let's say your problem is 155/4. You can't divide 4 into 1, so you'd divide it into 15. This would give you 3, with a remainder of 3. Explain that they will need to multiply the number of times that the divisor goes into the first number by the divisor. They will subtract this product from the units in the dividend to find the remainder, which they'll carry over to the next unit. As you work though 54/3, you know that 3 goes into 5 just 1 time with a remainder of 2. You'd multiply 3 x 1 = 3. Subtract 3 from 5 to get 2. Leave the 2 in the 10s spot. Similarly, for 155/4, you know that 4 goes into 15 just 3 times. You'd multiply 4 x 3 = 12. Subtract 15-12= 3. Carry the 3 down in the 10s spot. Carry the next unit down, adding it to the remainder. Then, divide the divisor into this number. Write the result into your answer, and then subtract to find your remainder, if you have 1. Working through 54/3, you will carry the 4 down, writing it next to the 2, which gives you 24. You'll next divide 3 into 24. This gives you 8. Putting it all together, your answer is 54/3=18. Similarly, as you work through 155/4, you'd now have a 3 left in your 10s spot. Carry down the 5, to give you 35. Divide the 4 into 35, which will give you a result of 8, with 3 remaining. Explain that the number of steps you'll take depends on how many numbers are in the dividend. For example, 155/3 will have fewer steps than 1555/3. However, the process for each unit remains the same. Once the student has divided the divisor into the 1s place, they've reached the end of the problem. If the divisor does not go in evenly, there will be a remainder. They'll need to include this remainder in their answer. Since 3 goes into 54 evenly, you don't have a remainder. However, 55/3 would give you a remainder of 1. You would find this remainder like this: If you divide 3 into 5, you get 1, with 2 remaining. You'd then divide 3 into 25, which would give you 8, with 1 remaining. This is your remainder. Your remainder should be written as part of your answer. You can indicate that it's a remainder by writing "R" in front of it. Alternatively, you may write out the word "Remainder" followed by the number. For example, you'd write 55/3=18 R 1 or 55/3=18 Remainder 1. Lots of practice is essential for mastering math concepts. You can create your own worksheets or download them for free online. You could provide your student with real world scenarios to help them practice long division. For example, they could practice dividing large quantities of food among party guests. Similarly, you could have them divide their birthday money into 3 categories: spend now, save for later, save for college.
