![]() ![]() I understand and believe in value of learning through board games, and have incorporated them into my classrooms – both elementary and higher education – throughout my decades long teaching career. I would turn off my camera and mic as this was their time and often a highlight of their weeks. The kids could remain on Google Meet while they played and discussed multiplayer games such as Among Us, Fortnite Creative mode (I couldn’t ethically agree to violent games in a classroom setting), Roblox, and Rocket League. During that time, I built in a gaming club whereby for a long, 2-hour lunch one day a week we had a gaming club. I understood this was a problem throughout our time doing remote learning from March, 2020 through the end of the 2021 school year. This isolation is not only creating a deterioration in social skills, but also, when children are asked these days about how they feel, the most common answers received are ‘bored’ and ‘lonely’ ( How the pandemic is affecting children’s social skills). Lack of social interaction is creating a domino effect on children across the world. ![]() Peer interactions and relationships are how kids learn not only about cooperation, trust, loyalty and support, but also about themselves, understanding and expressing their own emotions, making well thought out decisions, coping with challenges and accepting responsibility. The pandemic has brought about a worldwide lockdown state, and children’s interactions with other humans have become limited to that of their immediate family. The pandemic has brought about huge disruptions in normal life for humanity as a whole. We know that the kids didn’t have these developmental experiences during the year+ of isolation from their peers. This allows my students to engage in and develop the social skills that were sorely lacking during the pandemic. I started bringing them back again this year after remote learning due to the COVID pandemic. but haven’t for several years focusing more on using video games with my students. Years ago I brought board games into my classroom. I definitely liked the thrill of winning but equally so interacting with my friends while we played the games. loved playing The Game of Life, Clue, and Sorry with my friends as a preteen and then Backgammon throughout my undergraduate years. As a kid growing up, I loved board games. ![]()

![]() ![]() Arthur, already struggling to balance the dull duties of governance with the ragged joys of child-rearing (and it is sweet to see big, goofy Jason Momoa show sincere investment in getting his son down to sleep), is further bedeviled by accelerated climate change, which can be traced back to his old nemesis Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II). That’s what the Aquaman sub-series is for, though: a chance for DC’s godlike characters to go full-on Clash of the Titans, replete with a full cast of gods and monsters before even mentioning the various other Justice League members, all absent here as before. It’s one of those superhero movies where no one seems to fully inhabit a recognizably human body. Director James Wan splices together Arthur taking on a band of pirates on a boat, fighting creatures in an underwater arena and, principally, taking care of his infant son Arthur Junior in a way that suggests those first two things were perhaps once major setpieces that didn’t come together in this streamlined final cut. This feels true even when Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom displays evidence of a drawn-out production–which it does almost as soon as it begins, when Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa), also known as the Aquaman, launches into narration meant to catch us up on his life since the first film, which ended with him becoming king of the secret underwater society of Atlantis.

Here are 14 of the biggest new kids movies from the last few months: 1. We’re keeping a running list of the latest movies for children for you to peruse and find something that the whole family might enjoy. I was always so thankful for those rare family films made with the same kind of care that went into the latest arthouse flick. And I also remember feeling like studios took advantage of that desperation for entertainment, filling the latest unoriginal script with enough silly gags that the little ones would giggle as the parents checked the time. As the father of three young adults, I remember clearly those days when we’d watch just about any new kids movie that was released. ![]() ![]() This is where we capture scaler and fundamental shapes as accurately as possible. We want to take our time, very lightly working through the shape and proportions of the elephant. Consider using a reference image as you work with these steps. You want to think about the perspective of your elephant’s pose, and how this will have an effect on what features will be in the foreground and background. We can also start to form the legs of the elephant which are cylindrical in shape. The trunk of the elephant is an elongated cone shape that becomes more narrow as it moves towards the tip of the trunk. The ears of the elephant are quite large in proportion to that of the head and trunk. We will see that the head has an oval-like shape, where the ears connect on either side as hexagonal shapes. This is where we start to see how different features resemble different shapes. We want to begin with a very light sketch of the elephant, where we start to establish the animal in its fundamental shapes. we will then proceed with the same process as we work on the body until complete. We will work on the elephant head drawing process first, working through the various aspects of its facial features. We will then enhance these qualities with some detailed linework and shading. This is where we will work out the main shadows and light areas within the elephant drawing. From there, we will proceed to work in some colors through a layering process. We will start with a generalized elephant sketch, shaping it and establishing it in its general form. There are many ways to approach an elephant drawing, however, in this tutorial, we will work through a process of layering. Step-by-Step Guide on How to Draw an Elephant In this easy elephant drawing, we will work with an easy-to-follow layering process that will teach us some fundamental drawing skills and how to use them to create a beautiful elephant drawing. However, we will find that through the process of a few simple steps, we will learn how to slowly develop a simple elephant sketch into a realistic representation of an elephant. The seemingly complicated structure of an elephant can come across as a difficult subject for drawing. 4.2 How to Draw the Tusks of an Elephant?.4.1 How Do You Draw the Trunk of an Elephant?.2.6 Step 6: Defining Texture in the Elephant.2.5 Step 5: Adding Details to the Elephant.2.4 Step 4: Adding Darker and Lighter Tones of Color.2.3 Step 3: Adding the Base Layer of Color.2.2 Step 2: Refining the Elephant Sketch.2 Step-by-Step Guide on How to Draw an Elephant.1 An Easy Guide on How to Draw an Elephant.This exercise is designed not only to improve your skill in drawing elephant faces but also to enhance your ability to inject emotion and life into your drawings. Pay attention to how the curvature and angle of the ears affect the overall look.Īre they alert, relaxed, or perhaps playful? Each adjustment you make offers a new opportunity to understand the impact of each feature in your artwork. This subtle change can give your elephant character a whole new expression and personality. In this method, I encourage you to practice drawing an elephant’s face while slightly altering the shape of the ears. By engaging with these diverse methods, you’re not just replicating a single image but growing as an artist, gaining the ability to infuse your drawings with your unique touch. These variations are designed to challenge and expand your understanding of form and shading, allowing you to explore different styles and strokes. It’s a perfect tool to have by your side, whether you’re at home, in a studio, or on the move.Įlephant Face Drawing Worksheets Alternative Drawing Techniquesīeyond the main lesson, I’ve also developed several alternative techniques for drawing an elephant face, providing you with a rich array of practices to enhance your artistic skills. The PDF is easily accessible, portable, and designed to be user-friendly. It’s particularly useful for moments when you’re away from the internet, enabling you to continue practicing and refining your skills. This downloadable guide serves as a succinct version of the full lesson, perfect for those who prefer an offline study mode. In addition to the guide, I’ve also created a free PDF file for this elephant face drawing tutorial.

However, mathematical modeling problems ("story problems," "applications") are in a variety that represent daily adult life, post-college careers, various majors other than mathematics such as science, health, ecology, and medicine for example. The actual mathematical content as such should not change much. Its rigor is communicated clearly and simply, even "conversationally," to all students, but is suitable for STEM majors as well. The text is mathematically correct and complete. It is also compatible with a private university's precalculus and later calculus sequence. Therefore this text is very suitable for helping two-year community college students articulate with the third year at a four-year public university's Calculus I course. See the topics covered under "Elementary Functions (Precalculus)" which refers back to the tables of contents for College Algebra and Trigonometry. The topics covered are standard in state articulation guides, for example, the 2019 Illinois Mathematics & Computer Science Articulation Guide. ![]() Reviewed by Ward Canfield, Adjunct Mathematics Faculty, College of DuPage on 4/19/21 I imagine some professors will lament the lack of rigor, but I think that was an intentional choice made for ease of reading for the target audience. I think it's a very good, student-centric book. I understand the importance of cultural inclusion, but in a math textbook there's not much to judge here. I feel that the online view could take advantage of more features (hyperlinks, for example) but I understand the desire for consistency between the pdf version and the online version. This text follows the chapters and sections of most all pre-calculus texts.Īgain, the organization of pre-calculus is fairly standard across texts, and this text does not stray away from the herd. An advanced student or a teacher might occasionally find the rigor lacking, but most users will find it very readable. It seems to gloss over some things that are harder to understand and focus on the typical student's experience. The book is very clear, almost to a fault. There's not much changing in the world of pre-calculus, I can't imagine this book becoming outdated. I've found a few typos that were all quickly fixed in subsequent editions. The book covers all of the necessary topics, but is a little light on the proofs/justifications of some of the facts.

In Klondike solitaire turn one, you have seven tableau piles with a descending number of cards in each pile from right to left: from seven on the far right to one on the far left.The setup of a game of Klondike solitaire turn one includes the tableau, the foundations, the stock pile, and the waste.This variation of Klondike is played with one deck of cards excluding jokers, which makes the total number of cards in the game 52.If you've ever played classic solitaire, then you'll have no problem as there is really only one important difference between the two solitaire games. Klondike is the classic version of Solitaire.The rules of Klondike solitaire turn one are very simple. What is the difference between Klondike and classic solitaire? Batsford Solitaire is also similar, where you can use a reserve pile to move Kings. This is higher than Klondike’s win rate of 32.91% What are similar games to try?

Critical cards may be placed behind numerous cards in these columns. Try to reveal cards in the larger tableau columns first.Otherwise, you may block other potential moves. It’s best to empty a tableau once you know you have a king. Only empty a tableau once you have a king to fill the slot.This allows you to move Kings to these empty columns and free up cards to help you sequence. Try to empty the tableau columns quickly.If one foundation is built immediately in the game, you now have fewer cards of that color to help you sequence. This will clear the card from the tableau, enabling you to build more. Move aces to the foundations as soon as they’re available.This allows you to see what cards you’ve got and what moves you can make. Aim to reveal as many face-down cards as possible. Only Kings can move into empty tableau columns.You dispense cards from the stock pile into the waste pile. The top card of the waste pile can be played into the tableau or foundation.To move a group of cards, they must be sequenced, and the top card of that group must be placed on top of a playable card of the opposite suit and one rank higher. You can move multiple cards at one time.The top card of each tableau column can be moved to the foundation.For example, you can move a 6 of Spades on top of a 7 of Spades in another tableau column. Tableau cards can be moved by sequencing them descending order, alternating between red and black.For example, a foundation pile will start with an Ace of Spades, followed by a 2 of Spades and so on until it ends with a King of Spades. Foundations must be built in ascending order by suit.The top card of the waste pile can be moved to either the foundation or the tableau if it is a legal move. Waste pile: Cards are moved one at a time from the stock pile to the waste pile. Stock pile: The rest of the cards, or 59 total, go into the stock pile. ![]() In total, there are 45 cards in the tableau. Each card starts face down, except the last card in each column, which is face-up. Tableau piles: This area consists of 9 columns, with the first column containing one card and each subsequent column containing one additional card. Successfully placing all 104 cards in the foundation wins the game. The Setup and Play Areaįoundation piles: These are the 8 piles where you aim to move playable cards in order from Ace to King by suit. You do this by moving and organizing cards from the stock pile and tableau. Your goal is to move all cards to the 8 foundation piles by suit from Ace to King in ascending order. ![]() Given that you have more options to move cards in the tableau, it’s an easier, though longer, version of the game. ![]()
