Re: 3rd grade math - bazookaman - 04-27-2016 Yes it's "whole" not "while". I'm typing on my phone for Pete sakes.

Re: 3rd grade math - Numo - 04-27-2016 If a student's parents are demanding and irresponsible, a teacher will often slip a question like that into the work he/she sends home with their child. Re: 3rd grade math - fauch - 04-27-2016 Maybe they meant no side is MORE than 12 inches? Re: 3rd grade math - Ombligo - 04-27-2016 Was it a worksheet or problem from the book? Very few teachers write their own problems any more for a number of reasons (like avoiding charges that the work is not properly related to the state testing standards). That is especially true of math. I'll bet it was a book provided problem or worksheet. I'll also wager that the book is a Pearson publication. That company is well known for mistakes in their class materials (yet Pearson is the leading standardized state test provider in the nation) Re: 3rd grade math - Lew Zealand - 04-27-2016 Typo, no new math needs to be invoked.

Something is obviously wrong (or I'm obviously delerious). At the very least, the wording should be 12 inches or more. Re: 3rd grade math - bazookaman - 04-27-2016 Yes. It's a worksheet. Kids don't have books anymore. They have worksheets. It's especially frustrating when she brings home her work and you have to guess how to work the problem b/c the worksheet doesn't have instructions on it.
