An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Preface
Math for Smart Kids is a series of textbooks in Mathematics for grade school,
which is designed to help pupils develop appreciation and love for mathematics.
This series also aims to help the learners acquire the skills they need to become
computationally literate.
The lessons in each textbook present mathematics concepts and principles that
are anchored on the competencies prescribed by the Department of Education. Each
lesson starts with Let’s Do Math, where mathematics concepts and principles are
introduced through problems, stories, games, or puzzles. This section is followed by
Let’s Look Back, which lists questions that will help the pupils to think critically on
what has been introduced in the lesson and allow them to discover things on their
own. For easy recall of important points or concepts taken up in a lesson, the section
Let’s Remember Our Learning has been included. Multilevel exercises are provided in
Let’s Practice and Let’s Test Our Learning that will assess how much the pupils have
learned from the lesson. The exercises will also determine if the pupils are ready to
learn new mathematics skills. The development of the multiple intelligences of an
individual is reflected in the different activities that the pupils will perform—from
concrete to semi-concrete, and from semi-abstract to abstract kind of learning.
Situations and real-life problems are provided in Let’s Look Forward to give the pupils
opportunities to apply what they have learned to their daily life experiences.
This series of textbooks gives the learners the opportunity to explore and enjoy
Mathematics. Let’s have fun learning together!

Review of Whole Numbers
Lesson 1 Properties of Operations
Mr. Cruz planted 20 tomatoes and 35 ampalaya plants in one of his garden plots.
Then, he planted 35 tomatoes and 20 ampalaya plants in another plot. Compare the
combined number of tomatoes and ampalaya plants in the two plots. What do you
observe?
plot A plot B
20 + 35 = 35 + 20
55 = 55
Mr. Cruz has the same number of plants in both garden plots, that is, 55.
The above equation illustrates the commutative property of addition. This
property states that the order of the addends does not change the sum.
Look at this other example.
Mr. Cruz planted 5 rows of eggplants with 6 eggplants in each row of his garden.
In another garden, he had 6 rows of okra plants with 5 okra plants in each row.
Math for Smart Kids 6
9. Compare the number of eggplants with the number of okra plants. What do you
observe?
eggplants okra plants
56 = 65
30 = 30
The number of eggplants and the number of okra plants are the same, that is, 30.
In the above equation, the symbol used for multiplication is the multiplication
dot (⋅). The equation shows the commutative property of multiplication. This
property states that the order of the factors does not affect the product.
Aside from the commutative property, there are other properties of operations
that you should know about.

1. What are the properties of operations?
2. What is the identity element for addition? for multiplication?
Whole Numbers, Number Theory, and Fractions
10. These are the properties of operations:
1. Commutative property – The order of the addends or factors does not change
the sum or the product.
2. Associative property – The grouping of the addends or factors does not
change the sum or the product.
3. Identity property of addition – Any number added to 0 will give the number
itself. Zero (0) is the identity element for addition.
4. Identity property of multiplication – Any number multiplied by 1 will give the
number itself. One (1) is the identity element for multiplication.
5. Zero property of multiplication – Any number multiplied by 0 will give a
product of 0.
6. Distributive property of multiplication over addition – The product of a number
and the sum of two or more addends is equal to the sum of the products of
that number multiplied to each of the addends.
7. Inverse property of multiplication – Any number multiplied by its reciprocal will
give a product of 1.
A. Supply the missing number and identify the property used. The first one has

12. Lesson 2 Exponents
Scientists and engineers who often use very large or very small numbers find it
useful to write these numbers this way:
1. 9.46 × 1015 meters (m) – the distance light travels in one year
2. 1.9891 × 1030 kilograms (kg) – the mass of the sun
Observe how the two numbers are written. The numbers 1015 and 1030 are
written in exponential form. The number 10 is called base. The base is the number
multiplied by itself. The numbers written at the upper right-hand side of the base (15
and 30) are called exponents. The exponent indicates how many times the base is to
be multiplied by itself. The value of an exponential expression after multiplying the
base by itself as many times as indicated by the exponent is called power.
Here are some examples of numbers written in exponential form and expanded
form.

1. What do you call the number written at the upper right-hand side of the base?
2. What does this number tell you?
3. How do you find the value of a number written in exponential form?
Math for Smart Kids 6
13. In ax = y , a is the base, x is the exponent, and y is the power or value of the
expression.
The power or value (y) of a number with exponent is computed by multiplying
the base (a) by itself as many times as indicated by the exponent (x).
The value of any nonzero number raised to the zero power is equal to 1.

15. Lesson 3 Order of Operations
Letty’s transportation fare to school is P15. She spends the same amount for her
fare in going home. Letty also spends P30 for snacks and P50 for lunch. If her daily
allowance is P150, how much money would she have left at the end of the day?
To find the answer, you have to perform a series of operations.
1. How much does Letty spend for her fare, snacks, and lunch in a day?
n = (15 2) + 30 + 50
2. How much money would she have left at the end of the day if her daily
allowance is P150?
n = 150 − [(15 2) + 30 + 50]
= 150 − [(30) + 30 + 50]
= 150 − [110]
= 40
Therefore, Letty has P40 left at the end of the day.
To solve an equation that involves a series of operations, you must follow the
PEMDAS rule:
P − Do the operation inside the parentheses first.
E − Evaluate the expressions with exponents.
M
− Multiply or divide from left to right, whichever comes first.
D
A
− Add or subtract from left to right.

Whole Numbers, Number Theory, and Fractions
16. Study these other examples.
1. n = 35² + (32 5) ÷ 5 Do the operation inside the parentheses. Evaluate
= 1 225 + 160 ÷ 5 the expression with exponents.
= 1 225 + 32 Divide, then add.
= 1 257
2. n = (2 5) − (6 4 ÷ 8) Do the operation(s) inside the parentheses.
= (10) − (3) Multiply, then divide.
= 10 − 3 Subtract.
=7
3. n = (6 − 4 + 2)² + 8 6 Do the operation(s) inside the parentheses.
= (2 + 2)² + 8 6 Evaluate the expression with exponents.
= 16 + 8 6 Multiply, then add.
= 16 + 48
= 64
4. n = (5 + 2) 10² − 10 Do the operation inside the parentheses.
= 7 10² − 10 Evaluate the expression with exponents.
= 7 100 − 10 Multiply, then subtract.
= 700 − 10
= 690

Lesson 1 Divisibility
Angelo has 24 oranges. He wants to divide the oranges equally among his
3 sisters. Is it possible to divide the oranges equally among his 3 sisters? If yes, how
many oranges will each one get?
To answer this problem, you need to divide 24 by 3.
8
3) 24
24
− 24
0
Based on the solution, there is no remainder after dividing 24 by 3. Therefore,
Angelo’s sisters will have the same number of oranges and each of them will get 8
oranges.
The idea of having no remainder after dividing two numbers is called divisibility.
A whole number is divisible by another whole number if, after dividing, the
remainder is zero. However, you can determine if a whole number is divisible by
another whole number even without performing division. This can be done by
applying the divisibility rules.
