Subject: Third Grade Math
The following problem was presented to a group of third graders. I have
a solution from the teacher that I disagree with. I thought I would
pose the problem to a group of mathematics professionals and see if
anyone comes up with the teachers answer.
I will state the problem twice as I am not sure how these things will
translate in the various e-mail systems.
In words:
Diamond minus 38 equals Circle times 11 equals Square divided by 5
equals Triangle plus 27 equals Hexagon times 2 equals Oval minus 19
equals Star. Star equals 211. What number should replace each shape.
In symbols:
diamond - 38 = circle x 11 = square /5 = triangle +27 = hexagon x 2 =
oval - 19 = star
Star = 211. What number should replace each shape.
