3. Welcome Letter Academy of Greatness & Excellence Where Prosperous Futures Begin Dear Parents, My name is Maryam Khan and I am your child’s 5th grade Homeroom teacher. Before I go any further and lay out class structure with rules and regulations, I would like to introduce myself. This is my third year as a teacher. Prior to AGE, I was working as a long term replacement teacher at Franklin Board of Education, Somerset NJ. Additionally, I have been tutoring at Huntington Learning center for the past one and a half year. Though I have an MBA and have worked in corporate America for the past 12 years, I am thrilled and passionate about the teaching profession. By nature I am a teacher and feel children tend to build strong barriers between the real world and the academic world. My mission this year is to directly relate the real world with the classroom environment. I am looking forward to a very successful and practical year. I have high expectations for your child and I will do all that I can to help your child achieve those expectations. You can help too. I will be expecting all work assigned in class to be completed. The way you can help is to make sure to check with your child every school night if homework needs to be done, and if so, make sure your child completes the assignment. In addition, your child will be assigned projects in various subjects throughout the school year. Projects are to be completed at school and at home. Your help and support will not only make your child more successful in school this year but will instill good study habits that will last a lifetime. Finally, I want you to know that one of my most important goals this year is to keep the lines of communication open with you. I am available every day to correspond with you via email, please allow me 24hours to respond. You are always welcome to take an appointment through the Main Office if you require immediate response/ attention and need to speak to me face to face.

7. Ali IbnTalib & MATH A person was about to die, and before dying he wrote his Will which went as follows ... "I have 17 Camels, and I have three sons. Divide my Camels in such a way, that My eldest son gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3rd of the total and my youngest son gets 1/9th of the total number of Camels" After his death when the relatives read his will they got extremely perplexed and said to each other that how can we divide 17 camels like this. So they all came to the door of Ali (RATA) and put forward their problem. Ali (RATA) said, "Ok. I will divide the camels as per the man's will."

8. Ali ibnTalib & MATH • Ali (RATA) said, • "I will lend one of my camels to the total which makes it 18 • (17+1=18), now lets divide as per his will" • The Eldest gets 1/2 of 18 = 9 • The second one gets 1/3 of 18 = 6 • The Youngest gets 1/9 of 18 = 2 • Now the total number of camels = 17 • Then Ali (RATA) said, "Now I will take my Camel back"
