- Essential components include:
- Sender: Initiates the communication process.
- Message: The information conveyed.
- Channel: The medium through which the message is sent.
- Receiver: The individual or entity receiving the message.
- Feedback: Responses indicating whether the message was understood.
- Context: The environment or situation influencing communication.
Barriers to Effective Communication
- Physical Noise: External distractions that hinder message clarity.
- Psychological Noise: Mental distractions affecting perception.
- Physiological Noise: Biological factors interfering with communication (e.g., hearing impairments).
- Semantic Noise: Misinterpretations due to language complexities or jargon.
Functions of Communication

- Termination: Signaling the conclusion of a topic, typically by the initiator.
Functions in Mathematics
- Understanding functions includes:
- Definitions and examples illustrated as ordered pairs, tables, and graphs.
- Evaluation of functions by substituting variables.
- Identification of domain and range parameters.
- Operations on functions: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and composition.
- Classification of functions as even, odd, or neither based on their symmetry.
Challenges of Adolescence
