missed 1, but i was too lazy to do the math lol. i wonder how i did as an 8th grader.
Seems to me we have a major problem if we have to do all this testing. It tells me we cannot trust our teachers or schools to do the job they are being paid to do.
I would thing the 5th grade teacher could tell the school adiminstater if the incoming 4th graders are not prepared.
Typo on the polygon question.
Yes, you are right and there are three other typos as well. First one to get them all gets a t-shirt and a my mission zine. Best, Lydia
Took me a couple extra minutes with the algebra (I’ve been out of school for 40+ years and had to scratch off some rust), but it wasn’t THAT hard. I would expect that my kids would be able to pass this.
I got 100%. I hope you all did too. Those were very simple questions.
2 wrong — galaxy question and ?
