The week before the winter break I covered a math class. (I'll blog about that experience next week.) Their assignments for the week are due this coming Sunday.
More of them were on task than I normally get, but a bunch of them weren't. Naturally. To all of those who said they'd just do it over the break, my thoughts are with them this coming weekend. Because, as I said to them, they'd be looking at that homework on the 7th and cursing themselves for not doing it sooner.
I know they haven't started that homework yet. I'm sure of this.
Anyway, as I have math on the brain, here's a fun math quiz.

No math required. Well, not much. I got 18/18 with 1:34 minutes left. I bet you can beat my score.
I was always a procrastinator in school and did assignments last minute. Escaped high school with a B average. College is where I finally excelled. Maybe some of those kids will do the same.
ReplyDeleteBummer, missed two - obviously I had the answers switched.
ReplyDeleteok I missed 3..oh well
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say "make use of the skip button". That's what saved me.
DeleteYay Got them all right :D
ReplyDeleteYea!
DeleteHeh, that was amusing. I don't think Avogadro's number is really a math joke, though. More of a chemistry joke.
ReplyDeleteI missed one *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI was a terrible procrastinator in high school, especially when there was an assignment over a break.
ReplyDeleteFun quiz! 17/18, almost had it.
That's pretty standard. Most teens will put stuff like this off as long as possible.
DeleteI got one wrong cos I was rushing. Some of them were funny. How do you make seven even? I'm putting that on the board when I go back to school hehehe.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to tell us how the kiddos reacted to it :)
DeleteLOL cute. I missed a couple. The countdown clock always gives me a panic and I click too fast. ::snort::
ReplyDeleteI'm like Anna to the point I passed on taking it. ~grin~ Ooh, I bet my partner would rock it. I'll forward the link.
ReplyDelete*whispers--you can start it over at any time--/whisper
DeleteSome of these were pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteSilly, maybe ;)
DeleteI always left assignments to the bitter end too. Worked well under pressure. Not sure how I have become so time anal in my dotage
ReplyDeleteI think it has something to do with the teenage brain.
DeleteOkay teach I missed 4 - what is my grade!?
ReplyDeleteWe don't do this for grades ;) (If you really want a letter grade, I can come up with one.)
DeleteNope...that is okay. Unless you can give me an A....I am out! haha
DeleteIt was extra credit anyway.
DeleteOne of the rooms I clean is a Math Class. The teacher posted the following on her door: "8 out 5 students don't understand math."
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
Oh ha, good times in math class!
ReplyDeleteFor some, anyway.
Deletefive out eighteen and math was my best class. But it was fun anyhow.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Math... I'll be doing enough of that with my kids later today as we start back into school. *sigh* My oldest tells me he struggles with math. This from a 4.0 student. I told him it might be hard for him, but he doesn't "struggle" or he wouldn't been landing A's. Truthfully, math is an older skill.
