Growing up, I was a bizarre child. Being vocally muted for the first six years of my life, this made me very jealous of singers, so for the first eight years of my life, I hated music. This all changed one day, when I enter the first day of Mariachi class during 5th grade, just so I can simply avoid taking Judo for a third year. I walked in and there was a bunch of instruments on the floor. I was told to pick one and sit next to it. Therefore, I sat down next to the most peculiar one, the…

Primes – the building blocks of all numbers: The dictionary meaning of prime is ‘Of first importance’ or ‘Of the best quality, excellent’ etc. What is so great about prime numbers? A number is said to be a prime if it is divisible only by 1 and itself. 5, for example, is a prime number because it is divisible only by 1 and 5. The number 4 can be divided by 1, 4 AND 2. So it is not a prime number. Numbers that are not primes are said to be composite numbers. The fundamental theorem of Arithmetic…

Student strategy: Student A starts by drawing 11 circles, which is what I saw. When asked to explain what he did, he said that he first drew 2 circles and then 9 more. He then added them together by counting them all to get 11 pennies, which is the answer. When solving the problem, he adds them by counting from 1 to 11, and he seems to have drawn 2 circles and then 9 more, following the time sequence. However, I never saw him count 2, 9, and then all of them, I only saw him count 1 to 11.…

“Thousands of boys, some as young as 10, are purchased, kidnapped, or terrorized into joining the country's army.” (Gettleman) .

Child soldiers are told to kill thousands of innocent people, even their own friends and family. If they do not follow the commander's orders then they are killed. No one should be allowed to take kids away and…

Imagine, children under the age of eighteen stripped from their beds, family, and their life. Tortured, and forced to do tasks that kill them. Trained to fight, then run into battle in the front line. Killing people around them without thinking, burning villages that people once called home. This is happening all over the world, right now, and is violating a major human rights issue. Over the last ten years, two million children have been killed in conflict. Having their precious lives cut short…
