Title: Cluster homework
Post by lionsound on Sep 28^th, 2004, 4:42pm

my 4th grader just asked me to check his math homework.
This is the title/directions:

More Multiplication Clusters

Solve the first two problems in each cluster. Then use those problems to help you solve the last problem. If you think of another problem that helps you solve the last problem, add it to the cluster.

(When I read this back to him we both cracked up.)

Your assignment: to edit/add to the directions as necessary or give problem examples :).......

(? Clusters Day/24 hrs.) / (7x24) x 52
-------------------------------------- = ratio of Clusters/Aborts x $135.00
(Trex Refills Month) x 12 / Cluster Aborts

How many Clusters did little Jonny get per year and what was the cost ratio per abort ?

lmao

See how they try to confuse our kids... did that make sense to any of you... what math do people really need anyway??? We all need to learn to balance our checkbook! Thats it!!! Ironically I just went through 3 hours of Math with my daughter and she had a melt down... I think we need a tutor for Math............ she hates me now... and Im heading for the liquor shelf... love to you all Ree ( a very aggrevated 5th grade mom)
