Smarter THAN a 5th grader

then = at another time (George Washington was president back then)

than = used for comparison of different things
(smarter than a fifth grader, a mechanical valve
will last longer than a tissue valve, etc.)
..................

and don't forget

THERE, THEIR, and THEY'RE

which all sound the same (homonyms)

THERE - refers to position (over there) or as an introduction to something
(There is something wrong with my car)

THEIR - possive form of they (Their Car, Their House, etc).

THEY'RE - contraction for THEY ARE
(They're coming here for dinner)

etc. - abbreviation for the latin "et cetera" (NOT ect.)

Since I teach math to about 90 5th graders, I certainly hope that I am at least a little smarter, but there are days.

Who cares about 4 corners (Texas is the only real state!) and the autumnal equinox anyway? If I need to know that, I can look it up in a book!

I guess it would depend on what score the 5th graders received. My score was 89% and I am embarassed that I missed the prime number question.

I too got an 89%. But--I see this more as a test of memory than "smarts".

I'm stealing this as my excuse for getting a 68.

geebee,

Here's the poem I teach my kids - 2 and 3 make 5 friends that went to the 7-11 to get 13 pieces of candy. That's the first six prime numbers. If you said 1, it's considered "special", neither prime nor composite. I'm pretty sure that I learned that it was prime when I was in school, but the memory isn't so good anymore.

 

[hensylee]

78 for me.

 

[WayneGM]

68% here However, my excuse is most of my errors were U.S.A. specific questions.

My answer was "1". I remembered the rule that prime numbers are ones that are divisible only by themselves and "1", so I figured "1" was a prime number since it fit the rule. Oh well, at least I still have decent thought processes.
