Elite  3201    South Florida |  Subject: Help needed with second grade math problemWhy did my whole thread just disappear when I hit the TAB key? Anyway, I need help on this problem. I'm not giving my daughter the answer, I'm just curious if I'm even thinking about it right. Scary since I was a second grade teacher!
Charley the spider (S) can only move up or across ot get the fly (F). How many paths altogether are there for Charley to get his meal?
O O F O O O S O O
I'm not sure if I'm putting too much thought into it by letting the spider take less direct routes? What do you guys think?

That's where I was confusing myself! I kept losing count. Or loosing count? |

| Pro 4612 MA | Subject: RE: Help needed with second grade math problem It depends on the route - whether there are road blocks or toll booths, or if the spider wants to avoid highways. My suggestion is to consult Google Map.
