Monday, March 18 - Blog Homework!

Hi parents,

We had a good day today. We did some writing practice in the morning, around spring-themed writing prompts. We also did some multiplication work around word problems. After solving a couple example problems, students went off and created their own. Many of their problems are featured below. We decided to turn it into a 'blog homework' activity to make things interesting! Feel free to try these out at home:

Choose whichever problems you want. Skip any problems you don't want to attempt. Every 3 problems solved is worth 1 bonus table point! (maximum 3 pts per person).
