Students in Mrs. Strehlow's Math 1 class have been adding and subtracting fractions, mixed numbers and decimals. They have also been finding the surface area and volume of 3-D objects. So I was thinking ... Why not ask our blog readers to solve three sample questions?! And, to add a twist to the challenge, the first person to post a comment that answers all three questions correctly will receive one of our new Middle School t-shirts for free!
Have fun and don't forget to check your work!
Question 1
3 2/3 + 6 2/3 = ?
Question 2
3.4567 + 11.521 = ?
Question 3
What is the surface area of a cube that is 3" x 3" x 3"?
