Wheelchair tennis is tennis.... The rules of the game(with the exception of the 2 bounce rule), the fundamental tactics and techniques as well as the physical and mental preparations applied to coaching able-bodied players all transfer over to wheelchair tennis. The major new skill a tennis coach has to master is teaching mobility. Being able to move a wheelchair around the tennis court in the most efficient way mirrors the footwork an able-bodied player needs to master in order to maximize his/her tennis game. 2, record 2, English, - wheelchair%20tennis

The BLOCKS tutor(Brown and Burton, 1978b) is based on a game in manipulatory mathematics that uses the concept of(attribute blocks)(Greenes et al., 1972) to exercise the student's deductive abilities of the type necessary for(troubleshooting.) In the game as implemented, a block is defined by three attributes : its size(large or small), its color(red, yellow, green, or blue), and its shape(triangle, square, circle, or diamond). In the card A and card B each state one attribute value(e. g., large) or the negation of a value(e. g., not blue). Thus they each define a set of blocks. These two sets, with their union and their intersection, define four areas as shown in the diagram. The contents of the two cards are not shown to the student, who must deduce them by a sequence of queries. For each query, he chooses one block and asks the system in which of the four areas the block should be placed according to the cards’ contents. If each new block is chosen judiciously, knowing where it belongs narrows the range of possible values for the cards until these values are uniquely determined. The skill of the game is then to select blocks whose placement is expected to provide a maximum of information about the cards. This is analogous to selecting optimal measurements in(troubleshooting.) 1, record 14, English, - attribute%20block

Concentration. Déroulement de la partie. Chaque joueur, en commençant par la gauche, retourne deux cartes choisies au hasard, tout au moins au début: si les deux cartes retournées forment une paire, c'est-à-dire deux cartes de même hauteur (deux Valets, deux Rois, deux 8, etc.), le joueur qui les a découvertes les conserve par devers lui et rejoue. Si ces deux cartes sont différentes, il les retourne et c'est au joueur suivant de retourner deux cartes. Il doit mémoriser l'endroit où les cartes ont été découvertes puis cachées, car lorsqu'il trouvera une carte de même rang que celle dont il se souvient, il pourra ainsi créer une paire. Le gagnant est celui qui détient le plus grand nombre de paires, lorsqu'il n'y a plus de cartes faces cachées sur la table. 1, record 15, French, - concentration
