Life Insurance Coverage

Will my beneficiaries have enogh to live comfortably? What is the difference between cash-value and term life insurance? Which is the cheapest to buy?CASH VALUE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES Cash value life insurance, such as universal and whole life, combine a death benefit and a tax deferred saving element.

Regardless of whether you call it a math fair, math carnival, school math night, or family math night, hosting one of these events at your school is a great way to get parents involved in their child’s education. The basic idea of a math fair is to have parents come with their child and participate together in various math activities. The math fair gives teachers the opportunity to show parents what the students are learning.

There are a few details that need to be taken care of before the actual math fair:

1. Prepare flyers or invitations for the students to take home.

2. Make sure you have at least one volunteer for each activity station, and try to have stations set up so more than one parent-student combination can participate at a time.

3. You may want to include handouts or worksheets that students can take home, even a tip sheet for parents to help their children learn the concepts presented at that station.

4. Decide whether you will have separate rooms or groups for different grade levels or whether you will set up one room with activities that can be done by everyone.

Activities Math fair activities should get the students and parents involved, preferably working together, to solve math problems. Try to set up activities that will allow students to complete more than one while the fair is going on.

1. Scavenger hunt – A scavenger hunt can be an activity that goes on throughout the math fair, or it can be one station in the fair. Give students a list that involves measuring and solving problems. For example, students can find something that weighs 10 grams or measures 10 centimeters. Clues can involve math riddles, and the answer to the riddle is what the students are trying to find. Encourage parents and students to work as a team.

2. Probability games – This can be as simple as predicting heads or tails for coin flips. Variations could include the probability of finding matching socks in a suitcase or matching gloves in a box.

3. Bean bag toss – For a mathematical twist on the bean bag toss, have parents toss bean bags at cards on the floor. The cards have math problems on them, and the students have to answer the math problem to get prizes.

A Decision, Not of Political Party Affiliation, But of What is Right and Wrong
There are Americans who claim citizenship by birth and all of the rights and privileges accorded citizens, but who have never taken the opportunity to vote in a federal election. There are, as well, natural born citizens who vote, not for the individual candidate running for federal office, but for the political party sponsoring that candidate. Most of these straight party-line voters don't, for some reason, care about who is elected as long as that person is a Democrat, Republican, or third party affiliation. They str

Credit Management: Design a System and Work the System
How well does your company do at collecting past due accounts? The answer will vary widely depending on your discipline, your tenacity and perhaps even your region of the country.Fortunately, few regions of the country use credit as a tool for any other purpose than customer convenience. However, some regions do use credit as a marketing tool. And in others, sometimes dozens of years ago, companies began to allow customers to use them like most professional customers use a bank. And a long history of practices like

Encouraging Attendance

Try some of the following ideas to increase attendance:

1. Serve pizza. Not only will students want to come for the free pizza, but also you can use the pizza cutting and serving to discuss fractions. Participants don’t receive a slice of pizza, but one-tenth or one-eight of a pizza.

2. Free homework passes. Give students who attend and participate a free homework pass. The pass is good for one homework free night.

3. Publicize the event in the school newsletter or on school bulletin boards. Even the local newspaper is a good place for placing information about the math fair.

4. Reward math students by allowing them to create a station for the math fair. The students will be excited about having their own station, so they will tell friends and family…repeatedly.

The most important thing to remember is to have fun. The math fair is not about right and wrong answers. The object is to get the parents involved with their children’s schoolwork, to show parents what the children are doing, and to let the students have a good time while doing math.
