The document discusses arithmetic sequences and provides examples to illustrate how to determine if a sequence is arithmetic, derive the specific formula for an arithmetic sequence from the general formula, and use the specific formula to calculate future terms. It defines an arithmetic sequence as one where the terms follow a linear formula of an = d*n + c. Examples show how to identify the common difference d between terms and plug into the general formula along with the first term a1 to derive the specific formula for different sequences.

S&S Game is an Mathematics Game for Junior High School Students in year 8. It created in order to help teachers do an interactive learning, especially in sequences and series topic for grade 8. In this platform, it's only as a file review and uploaded in pdf format, so the macro designed in this game was unabled to show. If you mind to use the game, it's free to ask the creator for the pptm format of the game, so you can use the game perfectly.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
