I’m orange and bright, and I grow on the vine, You carve my face, and I’m a spooky sign, What am I?

BELLE

Belle Means "Beauty" in French. Her character is often praised for her inner beauty, which reflects her intelligence, kindness, and love for others, as well as her outward beauty.
She is not a royal by birth or marriage. She’s an independent, book-loving village girl who values intelligence and self-worth over royal status.
She’s known for being an avid reader, which sets her apart from the other characters in the village
Her character was ground-breaking because she was portrayed as smart, curious, and independent.
What can we learn from Belle –
- what really matters—kindness, integrity, and character.
- Be yourself and believe in yourself.
- Be understanding and kind, even when others may not deserve it right away.

Math Fun

These tricks can save time and improve your understanding of key mathematical concepts!

The Rule of 9 for Divisibility

Trick: A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

How it works: Simply add all the digits of the number. If the sum is divisible by 9, then the number is divisible by 9.

Example: Is 567 divisible by 9?
5 + 6 + 7 = 18.
Since 18 is divisible by 9, 567 is also divisible by 9.

Dividing Fractions

Trick: "Keep, change, flip!"

To divide fractions, keep the first fraction, change the division sign to multiplication, and then flip the second fraction (take the reciprocal).
2/5 ÷ 3/4 becomes 2/5 × 4/3
Now multiply: (2 × 4)/(5 × 3) = 8/15

Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers

Trick: Divide the numerator by the denominator.

To convert an improper fraction (where the numerator is larger than the denominator) to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator.

Example: 7/3
Divide 7 by 3: 7 ÷ 3 = 2 with a remainder of 1.
The mixed number is 2 and ⅓.

Did you know?

Volcanoes are global phenomena! From the icy volcanoes of Antarctica to the tropical islands of Hawaii, they are all across the globe.
Volcanic Eruptions Can Change the Climate. The eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815 led to the "Year Without a Summer," causing crops to fail and food shortages worldwide.
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, and when it erupts and reaches the surface, it's called lava. So, lava only becomes lava once it’s outside the volcano!
Super volcanoes are rare but incredibly powerful with eruptions way more powerful than regular volcanoes and can cause global climate crisis.
Some volcanoes erupt so much lava that they build up enough material to form entire islands. Hawaii is a perfect example of a volcanic island chain.
