Making Eight and Nine

In this video, we will learn how to use models and addition equations to show all the different ways to make eight and nine. We could use cubes to help us find all the ways to make eight. We can see from the model that we can make eight using one red cube plus seven blue cubes. One and seven is eight. We could also make eight using two red cubes and six blue cubes. One plus seven is eight. Two plus six is eight.

Can you predict what the next number bond would be? In the first number bond, we had one red cube. In the second, we had two. We’re increasing the number of red cubes by one each time, one, two, three. We can make eight using three red cubes, but how many blue cubes? The number of blue cubes is decreasing by one each time. We’re taking away one blue cube each time, seven, six, five. So far, we found three different ways to make eight: one plus seven, two plus six, and three plus five.

It helps to use a strategy to find all the possible ways of making a number. We started with one red brick. We added one red brick each time and took away one blue brick each time. This helped us to find all the possible ways of making eight. We didn’t find all the possible ways of making eight. We’re going to do that with some practice questions.

We call the pairs of numbers which make nine number bonds to nine. Seven and two makes nine. Seven blue bricks and two red bricks is nine. We didn’t record all the ways of making nine or use a strategy. Let’s practise, finding all the ways to make eight and nine using models and addition equations.

There are lots of ways to make eight. What is the missing expression? Zero plus eight. One plus seven. Two plus six. What plus what. Four plus four. Five plus three. Six plus two. Seven plus one. And eight plus zero.

There are nine ways to make eight, but one of the expressions is missing. We could use the cube train to help us find the missing expression. We could also find the missing expression by working out the strategy that’s been used. If we look carefully at the pairs of numbers or the number bonds, we can spot some patterns.

If we write down the number of red bricks and blue bricks we’ve used to make eight, that will help us to spot the pattern. What’s happening to the number of red bricks? Zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. The number of red bricks is going up by one each time. We’re counting in ones. Now we found the first missing number. Zero, one, two, three.

What’s happening to the number of blue bricks? Eight, seven, six. The missing number is five. Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero. The number of blue bricks is getting smaller each time; it’s decreasing. We’re counting back in ones, eight, seven, six, five. The missing expression is three plus five. Zero and eight make five, one and seven, two and six, and three and five. So do four plus four, five plus three, six plus two, seven plus one, and eight plus zero.

We found all the ways to make eight using our model and a strategy. We wrote the number bonds down and looked for the pattern. This helped us to find the missing addition expression. Three plus five makes eight.

Find the missing addition sentence. Nine plus zero is nine. Eight plus one is nine. Seven plus two is nine. Six plus three is nine. Five plus four is nine. What plus what is nine. Three plus six is nine. Two plus seven is nine. And one plus eight is nine.

The model shows all the number bonds to nine. The pictures use blue and green tennis balls to model the addition expressions. Let’s look more closely at the strategy that’s been used to find the pairs. In other words, let’s look closely at the numbers in the number bonds. Let’s see if we can spot any patterns.

Nine blue tennis balls and no green tennis balls makes nine. Eight and one is nine. Seven and two is nine. Six and three is nine. Five plus four is nine. Have you spotted the pattern yet? Did you notice what’s happening to the number of blue balls each time? Nine, eight, seven, six, five. The numbers are decreasing. The number of blue balls is going down. There’s one less blue ball each time. Which number would come next? Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.

Now we need to work out the number of green balls. Let’s see if we can spot the pattern. Zero, one, two, three, four, five. The number of green balls increases by one each time. We’re adding one green ball each time. The missing addition sentence is four plus five is nine.

We found the missing addition sentence by looking closely at what happened to the number of blue and green balls each time. We could use the model to help us check the answer. Are there four blue balls? One, two, three, four. Yes, there are. Let’s check there are five green balls. One, two, three, four, five. Four plus five is nine.

Think about making eight. Find the missing numbers. What plus one equals eight. Three plus what equals eight.

We’re given two addition expressions which make eight. Something plus one equals eight and something plus three equals eight. What do we add to one to make eight? To find the answer, we could count the number of squares. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven plus one equals eight.

Let’s find the missing number in the second pair of numbers. Three and what makes eight. Three and one, two, three, four, five makes eight. Seven add one equals eight. Three add five equals eight. The missing numbers are seven and five. We used part-whole models and bar models to help us find the missing numbers.

What number is missing? Nine is five and what more.

Let’s use a part-whole model to help. We know that the two groups of counters make nine. We know that five blue counters and a number of orange counters total nine. How many orange counters are there? One, two, three, four. Nine is five and four more. We used the number of counters and a part-part-whole model to help us find the missing number. Nine is five and four more.

What have we learned in this video? We’ve learned how to use models and addition equations to show all the ways to make eight and nine.

How to Create a Social Media Marketing Strategy [Template]

A social media marketing strategy is a summary of everything you plan to do and hope to achieve on social media. It guides your actions and lets you know whether you’re succeeding or failing.

The more specific your plan is, the more effective it will be. Keep it concise. Don’t make it so lofty and broad that it’s unattainable or impossible to measure.

In this post, we’ll walk you through a nine-step plan to create a winning social media strategy of your own.

Step 1. Choose social media marketing goals that align to business objectives

Step 2. Learn everything you can about your audience

Step 3. Get to know your competition

Step 4. Do a social media audit

Step 5. Set up accounts and improve profiles

Step 6. Find inspiration

Step 7. Create a social media content calendar

Step 8. Create compelling content

Step 9. Track performance and adjust your social media strategy accordingly

Bonus: Get a free social media strategy template to quickly and easily plan your own strategy. Also use it to track results and present the plan to your boss, teammates, and clients.

What is social media marketing?

Social media marketing is the practice of using social media channels to sell or promote a brand, product or service.

Social media marketing helps businesses:

• Increase brand awareness
• Build engaged communities
• Sell products and services
• Measure brand sentiment
• Provide social customer service
• Advertise products and services to target audiences
• Track performance and adjust larger marketing strategies accordingly

What is a social media marketing strategy?

A social media strategy is a document outlining your social media goals, the tactics you will use to achieve them and the metrics you will track to measure your progress.

Your social media marketing strategy should also list all of your existing and planned social media accounts along with goals specific to each platform you’re active on. These goals should align with your business’s larger digital marketing strategy.

Finally, a good social media plan should define the roles and responsibilities within your team and outline your reporting cadence.

Creating your own social media marketing strategy (video guide)

No time to read the whole article? Let Amanda, Hootsuite’s own Senior Manager of Social Media Marketing, guide you through our free social media marketing strategy template in less than 10 minutes:

Set S. M.A.R.T. goals

The first step to creating a winning social media strategy is to establish clear objectives and goals. Without goals, you have no way to measure success and return on investment (ROI).

Each of your goals should be SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound.

Psst: If you need examples of smart social media goals<, we’ve got you covered.

Vanity metrics like number of followers and likes are easy to track, but it’s hard to prove their real value. Instead, focus on things like engagement, click-through, and conversion rates.

For inspiration, take a look at these 19 essential social media metrics.

You may want to track different goals for different social media networks, or even different uses for each network.

For example, if you use LinkedIn to drive traffic to your website, you would measure click-throughs. If Instagram is for brand awareness, you might track the number of Instagram Story views. And if you advertise on Facebook, cost-per-click (CPC) is a common success metric.

Social media goals should align with your overall marketing objectives. This makes it easier to show the value of your work and secure buy-in from your boss.

Start developing a successful social media marketing plan by writing down at least three goals for social media.

Get to know your fans, followers, and customers as real people with real wants and needs, and you will know how to target and engage them on social media.

When it comes to your ideal customer, you should know things like:

• Age
• Location
• Average income
• Typical job title or industry
• Interests
• etc.

Here’s a simple guide and template for creating audience/buyer personas.

Social media analytics can also provide a ton of valuable information about who your followers are, where they live, and how they interact with your brand on social media. These insights allow you to refine your strategy and better target your audience.

Jugnoo, an Uber-like service for auto-rickshaws in India, used Facebook Analytics to learn that 90% of their users who referred other customers were between 18- and 34-years-old, and 65% of that group was using Android. They used that information to target their ads, resulting in a 40% lower cost per referral.

Check out our guide to using social media analytics and the tools you need to track them.

Odds are your competitors are already using social media, and that means you can learn from what they’re doing.

A competitive analysis allows you to understand who the competition is and what they’re doing well (and not so well). You’ll get a good sense of what’s expected in your industry, which will help you set social media targets of your own.

It will also help you spot opportunities.

Maybe one of your competitors is dominant on Facebook, for example, but has put little effort into Twitter or Instagram. You might want to focus on the social media platforms where your audience is underserved, rather than trying to win fans away from a dominant player.

Social listening is another way to keep an eye on your competitors.

Do searches of the competition’s company name, account handles, and other relevant keywords on social media. Find out what they’re sharing and what other people are saying about them. If they’re using influencer marketing, how much engagement do those campaigns earn them?

Pro tip: Use Hootsuite Streams to monitor relevant keywords, hashtags and accounts in real-time.

As you track, you may notice shifts in how your competitors and industry leaders are using social media. You may come across new, exciting trends. You might even spot specific social content or a campaign that really hits the mark—or totally bombs.

Use this kind of intel to optimize and inform your own social media marketing strategy.

If you’re already using social media, take stock of your efforts so far. Ask yourself the following questions:

• What’s working, and what’s not?
• Who is engaging with you?
• What are your most valuable partnerships?
• Which networks does your target audience use?
• How does your social media presence compare to the competition?

Once you collect that information, you’ll be ready to start thinking about ways to improve.

We’ve created an easy-to-follow social media audit guide and template to walk you through each step of this process.

Your audit should give you a clear picture of what purpose each of your social accounts serves. If the purpose of an account isn’t clear, think about whether it’s worth keeping.

To help you decide, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is my audience here?
2. If so, how are they using this platform?
3. Can I use this account to help achieve my goals?

Asking these tough questions will keep your social media strategy focused.

During the audit, you may discover fake accounts using your business name or the names of your products.

These imposters can be harmful to your brand—never mind that they’re capturing followers that should be yours.

Report them.

You may want to get your accounts verified too to ensure your fans know they are dealing with the real you.

Here’s how to get verified on:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Instagram
• TikTok

Step 5. Set up accounts and improve profiles

As you decide which social networks to use, you will also need to define your strategy for each.

Benefit Cosmetics’ social media manager, Angela Purcaro, told eMarketer: “For our makeup tutorials … we’re all about Snapchat and Instagram Stories. Twitter, on the other hand, is designated for customer service.”

Hootsuite’s own social team even designates different purposes for formats within networks. On Instagram, for example, they use the feed to post high-quality educational infographics and product announcements and Stories to cover live events or quick social media updates.

Pro tip: Write out a mission statement for each network. A one-sentence declaration to keep you focused on a specific goal.

Example: “We will use Twitter for customer support to keep email and call volumes down.”

Or: “We will use LinkedIn for promoting and sharing our company culture to help with recruitment and employee advocacy.”

One more: “We will use Instagram to highlight new products and repost quality content from influencers.”

If you can’t create a solid mission statement for a particular social media channel, you may want to ask yourself if it’s worth it.

Note: While larger businesses can and do tackle every platform, small businesses may not be able to — and that’s ok! Prioritize social platforms that will have the most impact on your business and make sure your marketing team has the resources to handle content for those networks.

Once you’ve decided which networks to focus on, it’s time to create your profiles. Or improve existing ones so they align with your strategy.

• Make sure you fill out all profile fields
• Include keywords people would use to search for your business
• Use consistent branding (logos, images, etc.) across networks so your profiles are easily recognizable

Pro tip: Use high-quality images that follow the recommended dimensions for each network. Check out our always-up-to-date social media image size cheat sheet for quick reference.

We’ve also got step-by-step guides for each network to walk you through the process:

• Create a Facebook business page
• Create an Instagram business account
• Create a TikTok account
• Create a Twitter business account
• Create a Snapchat account
• Create a LinkedIn Company Page
• Create a Pinterest business account
• Create a YouTube channel

Don’t let this list overwhelm you. Remember, it’s better to use fewer channels well than to stretch yourself thin trying to maintain a presence on every network.

While it’s important that your brand be unique, you can still draw inspiration from other businesses that are great on social.

You can usually find these on the business section of the social network’s website. (Here’s Facebook’s, for example.)

Case studies can offer valuable insights that you can apply to your own social media plan.

You could also check out the winners of The Facebook Awards or The Shorty Awards for examples of brands that are at the top of their social media game.

For learning and a laugh, check out Fridge-Worthy, Hootsuite’s bi-weekly awards show highlighting brands doing smart and clever things on social media.

Who do you enjoy following on social media? What do they do that compels people to engage and share their content?

National Geographic, for example, is one of the best on Instagram, combining stunning visuals with compelling captions.

Then there’s Shopify. The ecommerce brand uses Facebook to sell themselves by showcasing customer stories and case studies.

And Lush Cosmetics is a great example of superior customer service on Twitter. They use their 280 characters to answer questions and solve problems in an extremely charming and on-brand way.

Hey lovely! 💕 We are sorry to hear how much you are missing Scrub Scrub Scrub. We will make sure our team knows you'd love to see it back on the shelves. In the meantime, check out Magic Crystals for a similar scrubtastic feel 😍💜

Notice that each of these accounts has a consistent voice, tone, and style. That’s key to letting people know what to expect from your feed. That is, why should they follow you? What’s in it for them?

Consistency also helps keep your content on-brand even if you have multiple people on your social media team.

For more on this, read our guide on establishing a compelling brand voice on social media.

Consumers can also offer social media inspiration.

What are your target customers talking about online? What can you learn about their wants and needs?

If you have existing social channels, you could also ask your followers what they want from you. Just make sure that you follow through and deliver what they ask for.

Sharing great content is essential, of course, but it’s equally important to have a plan in place for when you’ll share content to get the maximum impact.

Your social media content calendar also needs to account for the time you spend interacting with the audience (although you need to allow for some spontaneous engagement as well).

Your social media content calendar lists the dates and times at which you will publish types of content on each channel. It’s the perfect place to plan all of your social media activities—from images, link sharing, and re-shares of user-generated content to blog posts and videos. It includes both your day-to-day posting and content for social media campaigns.

Your calendar also ensures your posts are spaced out appropriately and published at the best times to post.

Pro tip: You can plan your whole content calendar and get recommended best times to post on every network based on your past engagement rate, impressions, or link click data in Hootsuite.

Make sure your content strategy and calendar reflect the mission statement you’ve assigned to each social profile, so that everything you post is working to support your business goals.

(We know, it’s tempting to jump on every meme, but there should always be a strategy behind your social media marketing efforts!)

You might decide that:

• 50% of content will drive traffic back to your website
• 25% of content will be curated from other sources
• 20% of content will support lead-generation goals (newsletter sign-ups, ebook downloads, etc.)
• 5% of content will be about your company culture

Placing these different post types in your content calendar will ensure you maintain the right mix.

If you’re starting from scratch and you’re not sure what types of content to post, try the 80-20 rule:

• 80% of your posts should inform, educate, or entertain your audience
• 20% can directly promote your brand.

You could also try the social media content marketing rule of thirds:

• One-third of your content promotes your business, converts readers, and generates profit.
• One-third of your content shares ideas and stories from thought leaders in your industry or like-minded businesses.
• One-third of your content is personal interactions with your audience

Don’t post too much or too little

If you’re starting a social media marketing strategy from scratch, you may not have figured out how often to post to each network for maximum engagement yet.

Post too frequently and you risk annoying your audience. But, if you post too little, you risk looking like you’re not worth following.

Start with these posting frequency recommendations:

• Instagram (feed): 3-7 times per week
• Facebook: 1-2 times per day
• Twitter: 1-5 times per day
• LinkedIn: 1-5 times per day

Pro tip: Once you have your social media content calendar planned out, use a scheduling tool to prepare messages in advance rather than updating constantly throughout the day.

We might be biased, but we think Hootsuite is the best social media management tool. You can schedule social media posts to every network and the intuitive calendar view gives you a full picture of all your social activity each week.

Here’s a quick video overview of how scheduling works in Hootsuite’s post composing tool.

Step 8. Create compelling content

Remember those mission statements you created for each channel in Step 5? Well, it’s time to go a bit deeper, a.k.a. provide some examples of the type of content you’ll post to fulfill your mission on each network.

If you’re not sure what to post, here’s a long list of social media content ideas to get you started.

The idea here is to:

• Keep your content aligned with the purpose of each network;
• Show other stakeholders (if applicable) what kind of content they can expect to see on each network.

This last point especially will help you avoid any tension when your colleagues want to know why you haven’t posted their case study/whitepaper/blog post to TikTok yet. It’s not in the strategy, Linda!

Ideally, you will generate content types that are both suited to the network and the purpose you’ve set out for that network.

For example, you wouldn’t want to waste time posting brand awareness tweets if you’ve designated Twitter for primarily customer support. And you wouldn’t want to post super polished corporate video ads to TikTok, as users expect to see short, unpolished videos on that platform.

It might take some testing over time to figure out which type of content works best on which type of network, so prepare to update this section frequently.

This brings us to Step 9.

Your social media marketing strategy is a hugely important document for your business, and you can’t assume you’ll get it exactly right on the first try. As you start to implement your plan and track your results, you may find that some strategies don’t work as well as you’d anticipated, while others are working even better than expected.

In addition to the analytics within each social network (see Step 2), you can use UTM parameters to track social visitors as they move through your website, so you can see exactly which social posts drive the most traffic to your website.

Once this data starts coming in, use it to re-evaluate your strategy regularly. You can also use this information to test different posts, social marketing campaigns, and strategies against one another. Constant testing allows you to understand what works and what doesn’t, so you can refine your social media marketing strategy in real time.

You’ll want to check the performance of all your channels at least once a week and get to know the basics of social media reporting so you can track your growth over time.

Pro tip: If you use Hootsuite, you can review the performance of all your posts on every network in one place. Once you get the hang of checking your analytics, you may even want to customize different reports to show specific metrics over a variety of different time periods.

Try It Free

Surveys can also be a great way to find out how well your social media strategy is working. Ask your followers, email list, and website visitors whether you’re meeting their needs and expectations, and what they’d like to see more of. Then make sure to deliver on what they tell you.

Finalizing your social media strategy

Spoiler alert: nothing is final.

Social media moves fast. New networks emerge, others go through demographic shifts.

Your business will go through periods of change as well.

All of this means that your social media marketing strategy should be a living document that you review and adjust as needed. Refer to it often to stay on track, but don’t be afraid to make changes so that it better reflects new goals, tools, or plans.

When you update your social strategy, make sure to let everyone on your team know. That way they can all work together to help your business make the most of your accounts.

20 ways to make beautiful postcards on March 8 with your own hands

February 24, 2021LikbezDo it yourself

Postcards with flowers, butterflies, hearts and more will show off in a conspicuous place for a long time.

Share

How to make three-dimensional cards with flowers for March 8

What you need

• Black paper;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• patterned paper;
• glue;
• white paper;
• green double-sided paper;
• pink double-sided paper;
• red double-sided paper;
• peach double-sided paper;
• black felt pen or marker.

How to

Fold black paper in half crosswise. From the top edge, measure down 8 cm and 19 cm and make marks. From the first, draw a line 6.5 cm long to the right, and 2 cm from the second. Cut the paper along the marked lines.

Measure 3 cm from the small incision and make a mark. Bend the cut paper to it. The video shows in detail how to do it. Open the future postcard and align along the fold lines.

Place the closed postcard on the patterned paper and outline the volumetric detail. Cut out two small and large triangles and glue them on the inside of the cut figure. Glue the black paper to the white. In order for the cut parts to remain voluminous, they do not need to be glued.

Cut out many 10 cm long narrow strips of green paper. Glue them to the inside of the three-dimensional part, as shown in the video. From pink, red and peach paper, cut out many squares with sides of 3 cm. Fold them in half three times, cut off the corner and unfold.

Glue the flowers to the green stems, behind the voluminous figure and next to the bouquet. Cut off excess strips. Draw a bow on pink paper, cut it out and trace it around, and then glue it on the bouquet between two volumetric parts.

What other options are there

A postcard with a voluminous tulip is even easier to make. Print the template, cut out the necessary parts and glue as shown in the instructions:

Stems can be easily and quickly made from accordion folded paper, and buds from hearts. Such unusual flowers also somewhat resemble tulips:

And here is another beautiful voluminous postcard:

How to Make DIY Flower Lattice Cards

What You Need

• Thick peach double-sided paper;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• glue;
• pink double-sided paper;
• beads;
• green double-sided paper.

How to make

This postcard looks like a gazebo wall covered with climbing flowers.

Fold peach paper in half crosswise. On all sides on the front side, make marks at a distance of 1 cm from the edges. Connect them with lines and cut out the window.

Cut many strips of 0.5 cm wide from another sheet of peach paper. Glue them diagonally to the inside of the window, cutting off the excess. Then glue the strips diagonally to the other side, interlacing them with those already glued. The process is shown in detail in the video. From the inside, glue a frame 1 cm wide onto the grate.

Cut a small square out of pink paper and fold it in half diagonally three times. Draw a petal, cut out and open the flower. In the same way, make the flower smaller and twist the petals with scissors. Glue two flowers together and decorate with a bead in the middle. Do the same with a few more colors. Petals can be given a different shape.

Draw a small leaf on green paper and cut it out. Fold it in half lengthwise and twist it slightly to make folds on it. Make some more leaves. Glue the flowers and leaves to the bottom of the card.

What you need

• Thick pink double-sided paper;
• ruler;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• white paper;
• glue;
• narrow pink ribbon.

How to

Fold the paper in half crosswise. To make it easier, run down the middle with scissors or a pen without cutting all the way through. On the front side, make a mark on top at a distance of 4 cm from the fold, and on the left - 3 cm from the corner. From the last mark, measure 3 cm to the right.

Connect the first and third points with a smooth line. Connect the last mark with the lower right corner with the same line - see the video for details. Cut the paper along the marked lines.

Cut out a rectangle slightly smaller than the postcard from white paper. Glue it inside. Attach the ribbon to the waist on the inside of the dress and mark the fold. Cut a hole in this place, stretch a piece of tape and tie in front. Write your congratulations in a prominent place on the white paper.

What else is the option

How to

Cut six 1 cm strips from each sheet of colored paper. Take the pink, orange or blue strip and glue the edges together to form a small loop.

Glue its base and make a bigger loop around it. In the same way, make another loop and glue the remaining edge of the strip - you will get a petal. You will need six petals of each color. Glue them together to form flowers.

At the end of the green strip, make a loop slightly larger than the petals. Wrap the strip around the loop and glue the tip. Give the shape a leaf shape. Make two more such details.

Fold thick paper in half to make a postcard. Glue the resulting flowers on it. Tie the ribbon into a bow and attach it to the bottom of the card. Glue green paper stems to each flower and under the bow, and leaves to them.

What other options are there

Paper roses are just as easy to make. Cut small circles in a spiral and twist them to form flowers:

On a postcard, you can make a figure eight of daisies. Here is a detailed master class:

Postcards made using the quilling technique look very nice. Paper compositions are made from tightly rolled strips. To save time and not cut the strips by hand, you can purchase ready-made quilling paper.

How to make DIY cards with butterflies

Heavy paper 9014

• white What you need
• ;
• pencil;
• black marker pen or marker;
• scissors;

How to

Fold white paper in half. Draw a semicircle on the front side as shown in the video and cut it out. Outline the semicircle with a felt-tip pen or marker.

For decoration you will need three pink butterflies and two peach butterflies. You can use ordinary colored double-sided paper, but it is more convenient to make them from note paper.

Take a piece of paper from the block and cut off the adhesive layer, if any. Fold the paper in half and draw a butterfly on it so that its middle is on the fold. Cut out the shape and open. Make the butterfly smaller in the same way.

Decorate the little butterfly with rhinestones. Lubricate its fold with glue and glue it to the fold of a large part. Make a few more butterflies in the same way. Glue them along the contour of the semicircle. Write any congratulatory inscription in the window and paste over it from the inside with rhinestones.

Cut out some paper hearts and glue them in the upper left corner inside the card. These will be balloons. Draw the threads coming from them and attach a ribbon bow at the bottom.
