Friday, 9/04/09 - Have a great 3-day weekend!
Prepare sheet for Test #1.
Numbers I need: 1) KBAR score for the week (/60)  2) Any extra credit points you may have earned during the week, such as mistake-finding (+1/2 each), knowing the "judge a book by its cover" reference (+1), or getting the bonus answer, literature, on the warm up (+1).

Crosswords are due by the end of the period. Crosswords may be made up by Tuesday for 7/10.

"Unpack Your Adjectives!"

Mental Floss. Sort of a math theme today.
Write the answer in the area provided on the sheet. If it looks like a trick, it probably is.
No penalty for wrong guesses, +1 each for correct answers.

  1. You have two coins that total 15 cents, but one of them is not a nickel. How is that possible?
  2. What is the volume of dirt in a hole 6 feet long, 8 feet deep, and 4 feet wide?
  3. A farmer had seventeen sheep; all but nine died. How many are left?
  4. What heavy six letter word can you take one letter away from and have eight left?
  5. Which is correct:  "18 plus 19 is 36," or "18 plus 19 are 36"?
  6. A pen and a bottle of ink cost $1.10. The pen costs exactly $1.00 more than the ink. What does each cost? (Not a trick.)
Test #1.
Click only. If you are worried about your clicking skills, use an answer sheet to record your answers, as well as clicking.

Done? Your choice:
1) Trackwords.  2) Read.  3) Doodle on the back of your answer sheet. This week's theme: Messy Room.  4) Homework for other classes. 5) Nap.
