Veteran 216 Altoona, Iowa | Subject: RE: Help needed with second grade math problem I came up with two answers. 6 - if the spider can only move up and across (meaning to the right only) 9 - if the spicer can only move up and across (meaning able to go both right and left) I guess I need a little more information on the definition of "across". |

We were all set at 9 until someone threw 10 in This reminds me of this game thing that the jack-a$$ owner of the last company I worked for gave me. It was a drawing of some squares and you had to say how many squares there were in it. And apparently, the answer wasn't as easy as it sounded. Whatever it was, I got the right answer - I looked it up online later and confirmed this, as he started it by saying "no one ever gets this right" and then wouldn't tell me if I was wrong or right...I think he was just p*ssed that I got it right |

A lot of reasons why - it was a horrible place to work. Which sucked, cuz I actually liked the job. If only I could take THAT job with the majority of the people I work with now...I think he just never actually hired anyone who got it right - I'm sure there are others in the world who have. D-bag.

| Elite 3201 South Florida | Subject: RE: Help needed with second grade math problem Ah-ha - the number example is what I needed! Thank you! Except I still don't want to tell my daughter (even though half the parents do!) because this particular homework is supposed to show their own thinking. I just checked and she got 7.
Here are some of the other questions...
- I am thinking of 2 numbers. The sum is 17. One number is 5 more than the other. What are the two numbers? - The letters A,B,C and D each stand for a different single digit. Use the clues to find the digits. Clues: C is greater than 1 C is an odd number B & D are even numbers What number does D stand for? C A + C B _____ D C

| Extreme Veteran 664 Vancouver BC | Subject: RE: Help needed with second grade math problem I've got a daughter in grade 2 - and those seem like really hard questions!! Mind you my daughter's program is 'watered down' somewhat because she is struggling in math but I still don't think the regular class is doing questions like that - I don't even find them easy! |

| Iron Donkey 38643 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Help needed with second grade math problem MomX3 - 2008-09-25 3:18 PM Why 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?
I say 0, because the spider and fly are both killed by flyswatter before the spider has a chance to move. |
