The steps involved in the solution of this problem were:
1. First I had to draw a diagram of the problem based on the explanation:
a) Draw a line segment AB.
b) Split the segment into 3 (for part A of the problem).
c) Label the position of the man.
d) Draw another line segment connecting to the one in mentioned in part a (BC) and Label it Train.
2. Next I had to label all the parts of the problem I knew onto the diagram:
a) Show that the train is going at 45 mph (for part A of the problem).
b) Show that the man is going at a constant speed no matter which way he decides to go.
3. Using the variables used in the distance formula (D=distance; S=speed; T=time).
4. Then I used the distance formulas to find the speed the man had to run in either direction in order to escape the train speeding towards him:
a) First based on my knowledge that the man was going S mph for D towards point A, I could use the Distance formula to calculate the time it takes for the man to run that distance. Time (T) = Distance (D) Speed (S)
T1 = x =
b) Next I repeated step 3a except with a distance of with the same constant speed S. For D, the Time (T2) =
c) Using the time in step 3b you can figure out the distance away from the end of the bridge the train is since you have the speed and distance in the distance formula, D1=S2*T2. Where D1 is the distance the train is away from point B, and moving at a speed S2=45mph. Substituting

Memory Principles

Anderson,1982). Another would be taking naps to help store the memory. In order to help myself store the information, I reduce my study time to an hour and 10 minutes interval break to help retain the information into the Long term memory. Continuing this helps with later retrieving the information. Creating cues and also help in later recalling.

Essay on The Thoughtful Parent: The Subtle Beauty of Child

very thoughtful piece by Ellen Galinsky who offered a more middle-of-the road approach to young children’s education. She aptly points out that while children do learn skills from the Kumon-style approach, the key component is not some much the flashcards and puzzles, but the presence of an engaged adult who is eager to teach and learn. In the case of Kumon, this adult happens to be a “teacher” rather than a parent. Do parents feel inadequate to be a teacher/guide/observer with their child? Or are…
