Please tell me I’m not the only parent in the world having to ask every day where their child’s glasses are. What makes it more fun is having two houses to spread the possibilities between, along with school. Eventually, the glasses were found, but only after several phone calls asking if they’d been found yet, and after looking around my house just in case we were not really sure where they had been seen last.
I have trouble finding my own stuff.
Also, today’s 3rd grade math assignment. Ugh. We spend 6 questions talking about mythical “cubic units” and then question 7 asks: “If Bob makes a cube that is 3″ on each side, how many units is it?”
All I want to know is whether or not “No idea!” is a legitimate response on a 3rd grade homework assignment (my handwriting; not hers). lol Or, is it just “1”? I mean, maybe Bob’s cubic units are in 3″ allotments.

Units = 1. You could redefine the unit = 3, and say the answer is 1, but I doubt if the math teacher would find the humor in that.
Volume of any rectangular solid
V = width x length x height
or, V = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27.

Oh Dear. I suspect TLK is going to have to look towards Granddad for math homework advice. I always think “what do they mean by this question?” and then spend ages musing over it. Poor TLK. I’m so glad I’m not at school any more. If it’s any help I can probably do wonders on any English or History homework!

Lol ‘No Idea’ seems a fab and appropriate response to me! ;o)

BD – Thanks for that. I’ll have her put that on the paper (but I’ll explain why first).
Ian – I’ll take care of the science and social studies. I think we’ve almost got it covered.
Fab – Don’t blame you one bit. The story problems are getting worse, and I already thought they were bad enough!
Gemmak – My original response included more “f’s” 🙂 hehe

I passed your method of figuring this out to TLK. She was thrilled! Thanks for the link. I imagine I’ll be spending lots of time there. 🙂
Bring on the algebra.
