Syntax Syntax refers to the sentence patterns and structures, or the grammar of language. Many ELL writers have trouble with English syntax. Semantics Meaning elements of language. Orthography Orthography is the term used for a system of written language. Portfolios A literacy portfolio shows student progress over time. It might include: samples of daily work, a chart of reading rates from several grades, journal entries by student or teacher, test results and benchmark inventories. Emergent Readers Three skills that are vital for an emergent reader are, parts of books, directionality of print and voice to print match. Beginning Reading Skills Parts of books, such as the title, beginning and end and even how to hold the book is a beginning skill. Observational Reading Skills Directionality of print means following the left to right format of American books. This is an observational skill learned by watching an adult read. Voice to Print Reading Skills Voice to print match means that the child understands that print is speech written down. Phonemes Speech sounds Graphemes Written symbols for speech sounds Phonics The association between phonemes and graphemes Prime Numbers A number that can be divided evenly only by itself and 1 One angle of a triangle is 19° and the other two angles are in the ratio 3: 4. What is the size of the largest angle of the triangle? The angles of a triangle add to 180°; therefore, the sum of the other two angles = 180° - 19° = 161°. 3 + 4 = 7. Therefore, the largest angle = 4/7 × 161° = 4 × 23° = 92°. The other angle is 69°. The population of the United States is 305 million and the ratio of males to females is 49:51. How many more females are there than males? The ratio 49: 51 means that 49% of the population is males and 51% of the population is females. Thus there are 2% more females than males. 2% of 305 million = 2/100 * 305,000,000 = 6,100,000 Valence Electrons These give atoms their properties because of how they are transferred or shared. Passive Margin A geothermal fissure is involved with tectonic activity - magma moving out from underneath a tectonic plate caused by its movement. A transgression occurs when deep-water deposits overlie shallow water deposits. Four Planets Closes to the Sun These are called terrestrial planets, because they're made mostly of rock, like the Earth. Terrestrial means Earth-like. Four Planets Furthest Away from the Sun The four outer planets (not including Pluto) are Jovian - large gas balls like Jupiter. Tornados F-Scale, Fujita Scale Earthquakes R-Scale, Richter Scale Radar D-Scale, Doppler Scale Earthworms Earthworms are hermaphroditic, meaning every one is both male and female, so any earthworm can mate with any other. There are no separate male and female earthworms. They can regenerate lost halves, but that is typically not how they reproduce. Neurons Nerve cells Neutrons Neutral particles in the nucleus of an atom. Neoplasms New growths caused by cancer cells. Nephridial Cells that are associated with the kidneys Vegetative Propagation Also called vegetative multiplication, or vegetative cloning, is a type of asexual plant reproduction. New plants arise by growing off the parent plant without seeds or spores. How much louder is a 120-decibel sound than a 100-decibel sound? One hundred (100) on the decibel scale is 1010, and 120 is 1012. So a sound that is 120 is 102, or 100 times louder than a sound that is 1010. The decibel scale increments a power of ten for every ten (10) decibels, so 160 would be 1016, and 40 would be 104. Newton's Third Law of Motion For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction Newton's Second Law of Motion Force equals Mass x Acceleration Newton's First Law of Motion An object at rest stays at rest. An object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Thematic Map A thematic map is used to illustrate a single idea or theme. This map has a single focus. Relief Map A relief map shows the topography of a region. Mental Map A mental map is constructed by the student "inside your head" without reference to other resources. Sketch Map A sketch map might be created to help students recall relative locations and sizes of places. For example, the student might sketch a map of his journey from home to school.
