Whether you were struggling last year or not, becoming an "A" student or maintaining an "A" average is a goal that every student should have. Grades are very important, but even more, so is understanding the concepts. Here are some ways to become an "A" student this school year. Organizational Skills Being organized is an essential skill to have if you want to be an "A" student. This means you have to become very familiar with to-do lists and planners. Have a folder with sections for each subjec t that you do so that you can easily and effectively file handouts, worksheets, notes and test papers. Studying : As it relates to studying, create a list with the topics or points that you wish to study based on the time that you have to study. However, be realistic with what you can achieve in each study session. There are also various study techniques that you can make use of! Homework : When it comes to homework, be sure to create a list of your h
Measuring Straight and Curved Line Distances
Distance on a map can be measured in two ways:
- Straight line
- Curved Line
STRAIGHT LINE DISTANCES
The distance between two places can be measured in a straight line. Straight line Distances can be measured using a ruler, a strip of paper, a pair of dividers, string or a strip of paper. This is how it is done.
Steps
1. Identify the two points
2. Draw a straight line to connect both points
3. Place the straight edge of a piece of paper along the line
4. Mark off the points to be measured
5. Remove the paper
6. Place it along your scale starting at zero (0)
7. Record your answer
Measuring Curved Line Distances
You may be asked to measure the distance between two points along a curved line such as a road, railway, coastline or river. To do this, you use a string or straight edge of a piece of paper.
Steps using a string
1. Put the string along the line, ensuring that you follow the curves.
2. Mark the starting point on the string and the ending point
3. Place the string on the scale starting at zero
4. Record your answer
Steps using a strip of paper
1. Place the paper along the line
2. Mark a line at each straight distance, while turning your paper.
3. Keep turning along the line and marking at each turn
4. Place the paper on the linear scale and read off the distance.
N.B. Please note that this takes practice but the video above will help you.
