HW - Monday, 3/27

Parents:

• Quick Check (Math) 14-4 quiz had a question that confused students. It read:

"Jeff was 1/4 of his way home from school. How many feet away from his house was he if the distance from his home to school was 812 feet?"

It was interpreted two different ways: he was 1/4 away from home (choice A, 203 feet) OR he was 1/4 away form school on his way home (choice B, 609 feet).

The book says choice A is the answer, but I am accepting choice B as well since it was a poorly worded question.

Please have your child return their quiz to school so it can be reviewed and/or corrected.

Thank you.
