The Math Curse

After reading The Math Curse, create your own math curse then try and solve one other curse in your group. Good luck!!

Here is an example from another 3rd grader:

Dear Gabrielle,

I figured out your math curse.

One morning I woke up at 7:21. It took me 2 minutes to get dressed. It took me 7 minutes to eat breakfast. It took me 9 minutes to get on the bus. It took the bus 10 minutes to pick up the children. It took 2 minutes to get to school. How much time is that in all?

Your answer is 30 minutes in all to do this.

From,
Jordan B.
