The Tripod Grip The pencil should be positioned between the tip of the thumb, the tip of the index finger, and the upper side of the middle finger. All fingers are bent slightly, resembling a 'C' shape, and the thumb and the index finger make an oval or 'O' shape. This is called a "tripod grip" or "tripod pencil grasp". The tripod grip allows a person to write more quickly and easily and has the least strain on the hand. Unfortunately, it may take some time for a child to master it if old habits need to be replaced. The images of Tripod Grip can be found on the internet using Google or Bing.

What is the math definition for one to one?
When a function is said to be one to one in terms of math this means that the function passes the horizontal and vertical line tests. Therefore, if you were to hold a pencil straight up and down and shifted it horizontally across the function, it would only cross the pencil at one spot at a time. Similarly, if you hold this pencil horizontally and move it up and down the function should also only cross the pencil in one place at the time.
How much weight can a pencil hold?
This would depend on the orientation of the pencil. A pencil standing vertically could likely support 35 to 50 pounds (16 to 23 kg) but could snap if that weight shifted at all.
