ABC ORDER

DEFINITION: A systematic way to organize a list of words. Words are organized by following the order of letters in the alphabet-beginning with the letter A and ending with the letter Z. HOW IT WORKS: In the English language, the alphabet begins with the letter A and ends with the letter Z. Words in alphabetical order are arranged in this manner: If we had the following words: 'sat', 'bat', 'mat', 'rat, 'cat', we would put them in order by starting with the word that begins with the letter 'A'. If there is not a word that begins with the letter 'A' we would go on the next letter in the alphabet 'B' and so on. Our list of words in alphabetical order looks like this: bat, cat, mat, rat, sat. HOW IT'S USED IN EVERYDAY LIFE: Throughout life, you will need to know the alphabet and alphabetical order to complete many tasks. Everyday tasks such as looking for a name in a telephone directory requires using alphabetical order to make the names easier to find.

Abstract and Concrete Nouns

Abstract and Concrete Nouns Definition Are words that name things that are not concrete. Your five physical senses cannot detect an abstract noun – you can't see it, smell it, taste it, hear it, or touch it. In essence, an abstract noun is a quality, a concept, an idea, or maybe even an event Example include: love, hate, bigotry, acceptance, tyranny, democracy, freedom, power, happiness, curiosity

Acids and Bases

DEFINITIONS: Acid: a chemical substance that neutralizes alkalis, dissolves some metals, and turns litmus red; typically, a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid of this kind. Base: bases describe solutions with a pH greater than seven , and there is a range of how basic a solution can be. A base is the opposite of an acid.

Active Voice Passive Voice

DEFINITION: Active voice describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. Passive voice describes a sentence where the subject is acted upon by the verb. HOW IT WORKS: This is an example of an active voice sentence: We are going to watch a new show on television tonight. This is an example of a passive voice sentence: A new show on television is going to be watched by us tonight.

Adages And Proverbs

ADAGES AND PROVERBS Definition Adages and Proverbs are forms of everyday expressions that have deeper meanings than what is simply read. “Out of sight out of mind” is a popular adage that expresses how people are not usually concerned about things that aren’t directly in front of them. “It’s no use locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.” is a common proverb signifying that one can’t prevent a mistake that has already happened.

ADDING DECIMALS

ADDING DECIMALS When adding decimals it is important that we remember to write the numbers down with the decimals lined up one above the other. Another thing to remember is that when we add numbers with decimals, we use column addition. We can use a zero so that the numbers may be the same length in certain cases, but all the zero does is show that there is no value at that decimal place.

Adding Fractions

DEFINITION: Adding two fractions together to either make a new fraction or a whole number. HOW TO There are 3 Simple Steps to add fractions: Step 1: Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same. Step 2: Add the top numbers (the numerators), put the answer over the denominator. Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if needed). Everyday Use: Adding fractions are used every day when adding two portions. Example. Adding ¼ of a pizza to a pizza box that already has ½ a pizza.

Adding Horizontally

ADDING HORIZONTALLY Horizontal addition helps with mental math. It makes it easier for us to compute the math problem by breaking the equation down into blocks of numbers. This should all take place in one horizontal line. For example, let’s take 334+632. First add the hundreds: 300 + 600 = 900 Second add the tens: 30 + 30 = 60 Lastly, add the units: 4 +2 = 6 Therefore, horizontal addition looks like this: 334 + 632 = 900 + 60 + 6 = 966

Addition

Addition: Definition: Is finding the total, or sum, by combining two or more numbers. HOW TO: 6 + 12 + 4 = 22 Khan Link: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/arith-review-add-subtract/arith-review-basic-add-subtract/v/basic-addition

Adjectives

DEFINTION: A word or phrase that decribes or changes (modifies) a person, place or thing. HOW IT WORKS: In the sentence: “The small, green, noisy car made a left turn. 'Small,' 'green' and 'noisy' are adjectives becasue they describe the car. HOW IT'S USED IN EVERYDAY LIFE: Adjectives are used every day when describing a person, place or thing. Adjectives provide more detail or modify about a noun.

Adverb

DEFINITON: Adverbs are the part of speech that are used to modify a verb, adjective, or other adverb. Adverbs can also modify prepositional phrases, subordinate clauses, and complete sentences.

HOW IT'S USED IN EVERYDAY LIFE: Adverbs are used every day in conversation when telling when, where, how, in what manner, or to what extent an action is performed.

Affix Prefix Suffix

DEFINITION: Affix: an additional element placed at the beginning or end of a root, stem, or word, or in the body of a word, to modify its meaning. Prefix: a word, letter, or number placed before another. Suffix: a morpheme added at the end of a word to form a derivative, e.g., -ation, -fy, -ing, -itis. HOW TO: For prefixes The rule here is simple: Don’t add or omit a letter when you attach a prefix. Keep all the letters—every one of them. For suffixes the rule is quite similar, keep all the letters when you add a suffix … unless the word ends in a y or a silent e. Everyday Use: Affix, Prefix and Suffix are all used in daily conversation, Reading, Writing and more
