Are You Smarter Than My 2nd Grader?
 

So, after his fucking boatload of daily homework (I don't remember getting this much homework when I was his age) we are stumped on this last math problem and I was hoping some fresh, intelligent GFY minds could help us out. Yes I know, have him do it himself, but this is hard shit for a 7 year old.

Question
Using the digits 2, 4, 5 and 6 make up four addition problems whose answers are 107

So far we have the 2 obvious ones

65+42=107
62+45=107

Numbers confuse me :glugglug

Me too brotha:feels-hot

65+42=107
42+65=107
62+45=107
45+62=107

I know they are essentially the same problems in pairs, but there is no other way to do it.

here's one...

55+6+4+6+4+2+25+5

That is the answer! My older son, who is 10, just rattled that off like it was asking what 1+1 was "Dad, that is a family of facts question - easy dad! I'm surprised you didn't know that!"

Man, my boys of 7 and 10 just made me feel like a retard. I guess I should their paternal father is.:winkwink:


Thanks for your help you two.

Spunky, thanks for not making me feel like the only mathematically challenged person on the board!

:thumbsup

No, but I'm sure I could beat him in arm wrestling. :thumbsup

Anytime bro :glugglug

my answer is better.. :Graucho

I don't know, he's ten years old and is as big as most 13 year olds 5'2" 120 lbs and he's not fat. He might give ya a run for your money!

Kids amaze sometimes..

Sounds like Saxon math. I guess that's what most schools are doing now.

I actually like your answer better too!:winkwink:

Maths.... :Hollering

School sucks, let the kid get some life experience. Too much homework is just to keep them occupied so the lazy ass teachers don't have to do shit.. .

Yeah, they are awesome. Kids really make life more meaningful! That is for those who appreciate their kids. Then there are those fucks that have no business being parents. But, I won't get into that topic!

What's that? :helpme

2nd grade was fucking fun

It's a type of reading and math curriculum that is very popular in elementary schools in the States. A lot of schools teach it.
