For years, students have been taught to cross multiply when
presented with proportion problems. Few understood what they were
doing or why they were doing it. Rarely were students invited to
think about various representations to determine the relationship
between the two ratios being compared. The ideas and activities in
this guide will help you provide students with the conceptual
understanding of ratios and proportional thinking that is essential
for solving real-world problems and achieving success in
higher-level mathematics. It's All Relative includes more than
thirty modules, which are aligned to specific Common Core State
Standards. Each module in this accessible, spiral-bound flipchart
addresses specific mathematical practices and common
misconceptions; features timely classroom examples; includes
proven, ready-to-use activities; and provides ideas for adapting
activities to meet the needs of individual learners. The authors
particularly emphasise how to use visual models tables, tape
diagrams, graphs, and double number lines to represent ratios and
proportional thinking. These visual models, which may be new to
many teachers, enhance students' conceptual understanding and
improve their ability to solve a wide range of proportional
reasoning problems.

Due to the passing of her mother at the young age of seven,
Dorothy's world was immediately turned upside down. She experienced
feelings of abandonment and rejection from her father when he sent
her to live with her older sister. She had not only lost her
mother, but her father too. She faced many challenges in her life.
From low self-esteem, rape, having three children in three years by
the age of twenty-three and the ultimate betrayal by her husband
and her church family. Dorothy's story will inspire you by showing
you how God will never leave you or forsake you, even when you feel
like you will never see the light at the end of the tunnel.
A young girl, Yolanda Penn, struggles to keep her falling family
together. She took it upon herself to step up and be the better
person because of her love for them, but they had no interest or
concern. Being the elder child, she took control to protect them,
but soon realized she could not even protect herself. The silence
and secrets they held inside-she couldn't possibly know what they
were capable of. Although she was smart and everything seemed under
control, her suspicions lead her to believe otherwise.
The first in-depth exploration of the rise and evolution of
abstract, symbolic, and conceptual portraiture in American art This
groundbreaking book traces the history of portraiture as a site of
radical artistic experimentation, as it shifted from a genre based
on mimesis to one stressing instead conceptual and symbolic
associations between artist and subject. Featuring over 100 color
illustrations of works by artists from Charles Demuth, Marcel
Duchamp, Marsden Hartley, and Georgia O'Keeffe to Janine Antoni,
Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Roni Horn, Jasper Johns, and Glenn Ligon,
this timely publication probes the ways we think about and picture
the self and others. With particular focus on three periods during
which non-mimetic portraiture flourished-1912-25, 1961-70, and
1990-the present-the authors investigate issues related to
technology, sexuality, artist networks, identity politics, and
social media, and explore the emergence of new models for the
visual representation of identity. Taking its title from a 1961
work by Robert Rauschenberg-a telegram that stated, "This is a
portrait of Iris Clert if I say so"-this book unites paintings,
sculpture, photography, and text portraits that challenge the genre
in significant, often playful ways and question the convention, as
well as the limits, of traditional portrayal. Published in
association with the Bowdoin College Museum of Art Exhibition

Secrets are revealed. Lies are exposed. And in order to have a
future, William and Eva will have to delve into the past.Â
 William Templeton, widower and police chief of Eden, North
Carolina is working the scene of a local woman’s drowning when
the body is found with an old gold coin in her pocket – identical
to a coin that was discovered on Catherine's body, his estranged
wife, over a year ago. Catherine’s case, originally deemed a
tragic accident, has been reopened, forcing William to step down as
police chief.  Historian and Blackbeard expert, Eva
Knightly, is brought into the investigation to help identify the
coins and can’t understand why her good friend Catherine never
mentioned anything about it. When more coins surface at a local
church, Eva and William know it’s more than mere coincidence.
With the entire town whispering about Blackbeard, cursed coins, and
lost treasure, it becomes hard to separate what is true and what is
a myth. The Seafarer’s Secret is a thrilling cinematic
mystery featuring the exigent slow-burning romance between William
and Eva as they work together to reveal the secrets and lies of
Eden, North Carolina. Though, in order to have a future, they’ll
have to look deep into the past to keep from being a modern-day
killer’s next victim.
In today's ecumenical world, Evangelicals need to understand what
Catholicism is and how easily it mixes with non-Christian
religions. That's why "Is Catholicism Biblical?" was written. Some
Evangelical pastors are promoting Catholic mysticism and
contemplative prayer. But where do such things lead? At the end of
the road, we find Catholic monks who say that they want to be good
Buddhists; and Catholic priests who act like gurus, call Hindu
temples a "sacrament," and say that non-Christians are their
brothers and sisters in Christ. "Is Catholicism Biblical?" reveals
what is hiding behind Rome's modern, ecumenical image. It presents
complex subjects in a clear, straightforward manner that is easy to
understand. It confronts troubling issues with compassion and
objectivity. Come explore the world of Catholicism, where grace can
be "merited" and Mary is said to have a "saving office." Then be
like the Bereans and compare what you see with Scripture.
