After looking at the past two open responses, we've realized that problem solving is an area where everyone could use a little extra practice. Each week I will post a "Problem of the Week" on this blog. These problems are similar to the Open Responses on the unit assessments. Every problem will require multi-step work with the actual problem, as well as an explanation, in words, of how you figured out the problem. Please complete the problem on a sheet of lined paper. (Do not tear it out of your math notebook!) You may turn in your answer at anytime during the week. However, if it is not correct or the explanation does not make sense, I will give it back to you for additional work. I will post the answer on Friday afternoon.
*Remember everything you turn in should be your own work. If another family member would like to try the problem as well, give him or her a copy and compare your answers on Friday.
