Lesson: Solving Linear Equations Using Algebra Tiles

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to solve linear equations using algebra tiles. We will use the concept of combining like terms to simplify the equation and isolate the variable.

Objectives:
1. Understand the concept of combining like terms.
2. Use algebra tiles to represent and solve linear equations.
3. Apply the skills learned to solve real-world problems.

Section 1: Combining Like Terms

Topic 1: What are like terms?
- Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.
- For example, 2x and 3x are like terms because they both have the same variable x raised to the first power.

Topic 2: How to combine like terms?
- To combine like terms, add their coefficients.
- For example, to combine 2x and 3x, add their coefficients, which is 2 + 3 = 5.

Section 2: Using Algebra Tiles

Topic 1: What are algebra tiles?
- Algebra tiles are visual representations of algebraic expressions.
- They are used to help students visualize and understand how to manipulate algebraic expressions.

Topic 2: How to use algebra tiles to solve linear equations?
- To solve a linear equation using algebra tiles, follow these steps:
  1. Write the equation on the tiles, using the same variables and coefficients as the original equation.
  2. Use the tiles to represent the terms in the equation.
  3. Combine like terms by adding their coefficients.
  4. Manipulate the tiles to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
  5. Write the solution in terms of the variable.

Example: Solving 2x + 5 = 9 using algebra tiles

Step 1: Write the equation on the tiles
2x + 5 = 9

Step 2: Represent the terms using algebra tiles
```
  2x
  +5
  =9
```

Step 3: Combine like terms
- Add 2 and 5 to get 7.
```
  2x
  +5
  =9
  +7
  2x = 16
```

Step 4: Isolate the variable
- Subtract 2x from both sides to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
```
  2x
  +5
  =9
  -2x
    =7
```

Step 5: Write the solution
- Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x.
```
  x
  =7/2
```

Section 3: Applying Skills to Real-World Problems

Topic 1: How can we use algebra tiles to solve real-world problems?
- We can use algebra tiles to represent and solve any linear equation that arises in real-world situations.
- For example, if we want to find out how many apples we need to buy to make 5 applesauce, we can use algebra tiles to represent the situation and solve for x.

Topic 2: Example of using algebra tiles to solve a real-world problem
- Suppose we have 3 apples and we want to make 5 applesauce. How many more apples do we need?
- Write the equation using algebra tiles:
```
  3x
  +3
  =5
  +3
```
- Combine like terms:
```
  3x
  +3
  =8
  +3
  x = 5
```
- So, we need 2 more apples to make 5 applesauce.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to use algebra tiles to represent and solve linear equations. We also applied the skills learned to solve a real-world problem. By mastering this skill, we can solve a wide range of problems that involve linear equations.

Marrick Ancheta is a Global Mission Fellow with the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries, engaged in a two-year term of service as a child development officer with the Hope for Life Church of the Nazarene in Soweto, a township within the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. She was commissioned in August 2018.

The Global Mission Fellows program takes young adults ages 20-30 out of their home environments and places them in new contexts for mission experience and service. The program has a strong emphasis on faith and justice. Global Mission Fellows become active parts of their new local communities. They connect the church in mission across cultural and geographical boundaries. They grow in personal and social holiness and become strong young leaders working to build just communities in a peaceful world.

Marrick is from Manila, Philippines, where she is a member of St. Paul United Methodist Church in the Philippines Annual Conference. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in information technology. She has worked for the Southwest Metro Manila District of his annual conference. Her father is a United Methodist pastor.

Most of her life and faith journey, Clarence says, has revolved around “being in and being the church.” Realizing her total dependence on God, she seeks to serve God and other people in every ways he can. She experienced a sense of a call to mission during the 2014 United Methodist Global Young People’s Convocation in the Philippines.
Marrick strongly identifies with the call and response to God’s service in Isaiah 9:8, NRSV: “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I; send me!’”

text: So and And. A new friend of mine and I were talking about what it was like to be a writer and have a learning disability.. She said she came across a young woman who suffered from dyslexia, much like I do, and constantly used it as an excuse.. -I spell everything wrong so I don’t write.. -I have dyslexia so I can’t read.. My friend said she liked the fact that I shared this same hurdle, but never used the word so to make excuses.. She said I used the word and when I talked about my dyslexia.. At first I didn’t understand.. Then she gave me a couple of examples of things she had heard me say.. -I have a learning disability and it makes me more creative.. -I learn differently then most people and that’s good thing.. My friend said she wished more people would use the word and.. I smiled. I didn’t even realize I did this.. What a great compliment.. What word will you choose?...

textbook:
Lesson: The Power of "And"
Introduction: In this lesson, we will explore the power of the word "and" and how it can change the way we think and communicate.
Section 1: Understanding the Word "And"
- The word "and" is a conjunction that connects two or more words, phrases, or clauses.
- It is a simple yet powerful word that can transform negative statements into positive ones.
- For example, instead of saying "I can't do this because I have a learning disability," we can say "I have a learning disability and it makes me more creative."
Section 2: The Power of "And"
- Using "and" instead of "but" or "yet" can help us focus on the positive aspects of a situation.
- It allows us to embrace our differences and see them as assets rather than liabilities.
- For example, instead of saying "I have a learning disability, so I can't read," we can say "I have dyslexia, which makes me approach reading differently than others."
- This small change in language can help us shift our mindset from one of deficit to one of strength.
Section 3: Practical Examples
- Let's say you are applying for a job and you have a gap in your employment history due to a medical condition.
- Instead of focusing on the negative (e.g., "I was unable to work during that time"), you can use "and" to highlight the positive (e.g., "I took that time to pursue further education and gain valuable experience").
- By using "and" in this way, you are framing your situation in a positive light and showing the employer how your experiences have made you a stronger candidate.
Conclusion: The power of "and" lies in its ability to help us reframe our thoughts and actions in a positive light. By using this simple word, we can transform negative statements into positive ones and embrace our differences as assets rather than liabilities. So next time you find yourself using the word "but," try substituting it with "and" and see how it changes the conversation.
Glossary:
- Conjunction: a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses
- Reframe: to view something in a different or more positive light
- Asset: something that has value and contributes to a person or organization's success

Lesson Title: Automatic Image Enhancement

**Introduction**

Digital images are taken with varying degrees of skill, in non-ideal lighting conditions, and with cameras of variable quality. The results of such variations are often images that need touching up in order to look better. Image editing and organizing applications exist to enhance the quality of images, however these applications often contain a bewildering number of options and take time and skill to make the fullest use of them. In some cases, the people who are using image editing and organizing applications lack the skill to properly enhance a digital image. In other instances, even people with the skill to enhance a digital image manually may not have enough time to make the multiple adjustments an image requires, or may have several images to adjust. Accordingly, there is a need for an automatic enhancement process that automatically makes multiple adjustments to an image.

**Main Topic**

In this lesson, we will learn about automatic image enhancement, its benefits, and how it works. We will also explore the different types of automatic image enhancement tools available and their features.

**Theoretical Concepts**

- Automatic Image Enhancement: A process that uses algorithms to improve the quality of digital images automatically without human intervention.
- Image Processing: The analysis and manipulation of digital images using mathematical algorithms and computer programs.
- Contrast: The difference between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.
- Brightness: The overall lightness of an image.
- Color Balance: The distribution of colors in an image.
- Noise Reduction: The process of removing unwanted distortions or artifacts from an image.
- Sharpness: The clarity and detail of an object in an image.

**Practical Examples**

1. **Contrast**: An image with low contrast may appear dull and lifeless. Automatic image enhancement can increase the contrast to make the image more vibrant and eye-catching.
2. **Brightness**: An image with low brightness may appear washed out and unappealing. Automatic image enhancement can increase the brightness to make the image more vivid and attractive.
3. **Color Balance**: An image with poor color balance may appear unnatural and unattractive. Automatic image enhancement can adjust the color balance to make the image more aesthetically pleasing.
4. **Noise Reduction**: An image with noise can appear blurry and unsharp. Automatic image enhancement can reduce the noise to make the image clearer and sharper.
5. **Sharpness**: An image with low sharpness may appear soft and unappealing. Automatic image enhancement can increase the sharpness to make the image more crisp and detailed.

**Real-World Scenarios**

Automatic image enhancement is widely used in various industries such as photography, advertising, and media. For instance, photographers often use automatic image enhancement tools to improve the quality of their images before presenting them to clients. Similarly, advertisers and media professionals use automatic image enhancement to create visually appealing advertisements and promotional materials.

**Glossary**

- Algorithm: A step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or achieving a specific task.
- Contrast: The difference between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.
- Brightness: The overall lightness of an image.
- Color Balance: The distribution of colors in an image.
- Noise Reduction: The process of removing unwanted distortions or artifacts from an image.

Lesson: Introduction to Renewable Energy

## Section 1: What is Renewable Energy?
Renewable energy is energy that comes from natural resources that are replenished over time, such as sunlight, wind, rain, and geothermal heat. These sources of energy are sustainable and do not deplete over time, making them an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional sources of energy, such as fossil fuels.

## Section 2: Types of Renewable Energy
There are several types of renewable energy, including solar power, wind power, hydro power, geothermal energy, and biomass energy. Each type of renewable energy has its own advantages and disadvantages, but all of them have the potential to provide clean, sustainable energy for our homes and communities.

## Section 3: How does Renewable Energy Work?
Renewable energy works by harnessing the power of natural resources to generate electricity. For example, solar panels capture the energy of the sun and convert it into electricity, while wind turbines use the power of the wind to generate electricity. Hydro power uses the force of moving water to generate electricity, while geothermal energy uses the heat of the earth to produce electricity. Biomass energy uses organic materials, such as wood or agricultural waste, to generate electricity.

## Section 4: Advantages of Renewable Energy
There are many advantages to using renewable energy, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and providing a sustainable source of energy. Renewable energy is also often cheaper than traditional sources of energy in the long run, as it requires less maintenance and has lower operating costs.

## Section 5: Disadvantages of Renewable Energy
While renewable energy has many benefits, there are also some disadvantages to consider.

In conclusion, renewable energy is an important topic to understand as we work towards a more sustainable future. By harnessing the power of natural resources, we can generate clean, sustainable energy that reduces our dependence on fossil fuels and helps protect the environment. By learning about the different types of renewable energy and how they work, we can make informed decisions about how to best utilize these resources in our own homes and communities.


text: TEL AVIV (Apr. 4). Itzhak Ben Aharon, the Secretary General of Histadrut, said today that he would not attend Israel’s 25th anniversary military parade in Jerusalem next month. Ben Aharon, an outspoken “dove” and severe critic of the government’s economic policies, said he thought the high cost of the parade on Independence Day was an unwarranted extravagance.. He stressed, however, that he was speaking as a private citizen rather than as the head of Israel’s trade union federation. He made his remarks after organizers of the parade asked him how many grandstand tickets he wanted.

textbook:
Lesson: The Importance of Prioritizing and Budgeting

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of prioritizing and budgeting. We will use the example of a military parade in Israel to understand how these skills can help us make better decisions.

**Section 1: Understanding Prioritizing and Budgeting**

Prioritizing means to decide which tasks or events are more important than others. Budgeting is the process of planning and controlling the use of money. Both of these skills are important in our daily lives, especially when it comes to making decisions about spending and managing our time.

**Section 2: Applying Prioritizing and Budgeting**

In the example from the input, Itzhak Ben Aharon, the Secretary General of Histadrut, was asked how many grandstand tickets he wanted for Israel’s 25th anniversary military parade. Instead of accepting the tickets, he decided to decline them because he thought the high cost of the parade was an unwarranted extravagance. By prioritizing his values and beliefs over the social pressure to attend the parade, he demonstrated the importance of budgeting our time and resources wisely.

**Section 3: Practical Examples**

Let's say you want to buy a new phone, but you also need to save money for a vacation. By prioritizing your goals, you can decide that the vacation is more important than buying the new phone. You can then create a budget to save money for the vacation by cutting back on other expenses.

Similarly, if you have multiple projects due at the same time, you can prioritize them based on their importance and urgency. This will help you manage your time more effectively and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

**Section 4: Self-Debating Discussions**

1. How do you prioritize your tasks when you have multiple deadlines?
2. Can you think of any other examples where prioritizing and budgeting could be useful?
3. Why is it important to stick to a budget even when it's hard?

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we learned about the importance of prioritizing and budgeting in our daily lives. By applying these skills, we can make better decisions and achieve our goals more effectively. We can also use these skills to manage our time and resources wisely, just like Itzhak Ben Aharon did when he declined the grandstand tickets for the military parade.

The amino acid sequence of residues 1-104 of CTL-1, a bovine H1 histone.
The amino acid sequence of the first 104 residues of calf thymus H1 histone subfraction (CTL-1), one of the H1 histones from bovine thymus, was determined by use of peptides derived from chymotryptic and staphylococcus protease digestion. The first 35 residues differ from the corresponding regions of a rabbit thymus H1 (RTL-3) and trout H1 by 30 and 39%, respectively, while in the region between residues 36 and 104 CTL-1 differs from the rabbit histone by only 4% and from the trout histone by only 16%. Although the differences between CTL-1 and sea urchin H1 are much greater, it is still evident that the sequence between residue 36 and residue 104 has been conserved much more than that between residues 1 and 35.

**Introduction:** Histones are proteins that help package DNA into structures called nucleosomes. They play a crucial role in gene regulation and DNA repair. In this lesson, we will learn about the amino acid sequences in histones and how they can vary between different organisms.

**Section 1: Understanding Amino Acid Sequences**

An amino acid is a molecule that serves as the building block of proteins. There are 20 different amino acids, and each protein is made up of a specific sequence of these amino acids. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.

**Section 2: Amino Acid Sequences in Histones**

Histones are proteins that help package DNA into structures called nucleosomes. The amino acid sequences in histones can vary between different organisms. For example, the amino acid sequence of residues 1-104 of CTL-1, a bovine H1 histone, was determined by use of peptides derived from chymotryptic and staphylococcus protease digestion.

**Section 3: Conserved and Variable Regions in Histones**

In the case of CTL-1, the amino acid sequence between residue 36 and residue 104 has been conserved much more than that between residues 1 and 35. This means that the sequence between residue 36 and residue 104 is similar in many different organisms, while the sequence between residues 1 and 35 varies more between different organisms.

**Section 4: Importance of Amino Acid Sequences in Histones**

The amino acid sequences in histones are important because they determine the structure and function of the histones. Different histones have different roles in gene regulation and DNA repair. For example, some histones help recruit other proteins to specific genes, while others help repair DNA damage.

**Glossary:**

- Amino acid: a molecule that serves as the building block of proteins
- Histone: a protein that helps package DNA into structures called nucleosomes
- Nucleosome: a structure composed of DNA wrapped around histones
- Gene regulation: the process by which cells control the expression of specific genes
- DNA repair: the process by which cells fix errors in their DNA

**Conclusion:**

Understanding the amino acid sequences in histones is important for understanding how histones function and how they contribute to gene regulation and DNA repair. By studying the differences in amino acid sequences between different organisms, scientists can gain insights into the evolutionary relationships between species and the functional roles of histones in various biological processes.

Lesson: Introduction to Blockchain Technology

## Chapter 1: What is Blockchain Technology?

Blockchain technology is a decentralized and distributed digital ledger that records transactions in a secure and transparent manner. It is a type of database that stores data in blocks, which are linked together in a chain. Each block contains a record of multiple transactions, and once a block is added to the chain, it cannot be altered or deleted. This makes the blockchain technology highly resistant to fraud and tampering.

Blockchain technology first emerged with the creation of Bitcoin, a digital currency that allows for peer-to-peer transactions without the need for a central authority such as a bank. Since then, blockchain technology has been used in a variety of applications beyond just finance, including supply chain management, healthcare, and voting systems.

## Chapter 2: How Does Blockchain Technology Work?

Blockchain technology works by leveraging a network of computers to validate and record transactions. These computers, known as nodes, work together to solve complex mathematical problems. Once a problem is solved, the node adds the verified transaction to a block and broadcasts it to the rest of the network. The other nodes in the network then verify the transaction and add it to their own copy of the blockchain.

Once a block is added to the blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted. This is because each node in the network has a copy of the entire blockchain, and any attempt to change the blockchain would be detected by the other nodes. This makes the blockchain technology highly secure and transparent.

## Chapter 3: Why Use Blockchain Technology?

Blockchain technology offers several advantages over traditional databases. First, it is highly secure due to its decentralized and distributed nature. Since there is no central point of control, there is no single point of failure. Additionally, the use of cryptography ensures that data is kept private and secure.

Second, blockchain technology is highly transparent. All transactions on the blockchain are publicly visible, making it easy to track and audit. This can help prevent fraud and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Finally, blockchain technology enables trustless interactions. Since the network validates and records transactions, there is no need for a central authority or intermediary. This can save time and money, as well as reduce the risk of errors or fraud.

## Chapter 4: Real-World Applications of Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology has many potential applications beyond finance. For example, it could be used to create more secure and transparent voting systems. It could also be used to improve supply chain management by providing a tamper-proof record of product origin and movement. In healthcare, blockchain technology could be used to securely store and share patient data, while also ensuring privacy and security.

Overall, blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize many industries by enabling trustless and transparent interactions. As more people become aware of the benefits of this technology, we can expect to see even more innovative uses of blockchain in the future.
