I have 3 meals a day + 1 snack + 3 cups of soda. The colors are red, clear, and orange. Plus I have one gatorade bottle of water. We have about 7 hours of school and learning. So take out math, language arts, keyboarding, science, and social studies.
Now we have 3 subjects left P.E. which is 45 min., lunch 20 min. Yum lunch, recess 20 min. Now add those min. together. Then subtract it from 7 hours, can you figure it out? Now add up 45 min. + 20 min. + 20 min. + 1 hour + 15 min. + 1 +3 + 30 min. + 1 hour + 30 min. + 45 min. + 45 min. + 3 divided by 5 times 7 - 8 =?
Can you figure it out ? I'm always here if you need a good old hard problem.
Bye! Always, Jess

A couple of days ago,I was listening to the radio when I heard a song that was 3 and one half minutes long.The next day,I had that same song stuck in my head.If I went to soccer practice that night,and it was 1 hour long,and I sang that song every other 3 minutes,then how many times would I sing that song?It was happining again,that evil math hand was griping my mind,making every thing I saw our did into a math problem!
When I got home.I had a little snack of milk and cookies.Then I started to wonder,how many other kids were eating a snack like I was?If I took a quarter of the milk,and there was only half a bottle already,then haw much was left?Was sticky tack really brought to earth by ailens?Will this hand of math ever let go?If you have the answer to any if these questions,drop me a line!!!

One day at practice I thought of everything as a math problem, like 4 offenses + 2 defenses = uneven amount of offenses and defenses. I also came up with 6:00 PM + 2 hours = practice over! I'm going wacky. I'm cursed. Misbehavior = 8 sprints and a lap. I can't wait till basketball. What if I time MC squared x HTML? Not another curse!!!
If I wake up at 6:20 and my bus leaves a 7:30. It takes me 10 min to eat , 20min to watch cartoons, 7 min to gel my hair , and another 7 min for other stuff. Will I make it to my bus?

It was a pretty normal evening until... a song got stuck in my head! It was from the movie "Brink". I wondered to myself "how could a 3 minute song get stuck in my head?" Then I wondered what fraction of the song to a 1hour and 30 minute movie was? Before I knew it I was singing the dang song.Then I started jumping on the bed and singing the song? I was in my underwear jumping, singing, and almost spinning around in circles. Then I was starting to grinding on the side of the bed.The movie ended about 36 minutes later. What fraction of the song was it to the end of the movie. Then my mom yelled for me to get to bed. I lay on my bed looking at the bumpy things on the ceiling.Questions ran through my head like how many bumps were on the ceiling and how many kids were in their underwear counting the bumps on their ceiling?

I have a friend. Her name is Amanda Nehring. Her cat had a litter of five kittens. Her cat's name is Frayea. If Frayea had ten more litters of kittens, how many kittens would she have? Including the first five kittens. If she had to give away ten kittens, how many kittens would she have? She has three dogs, seven cats and kittens, and two fish. How many animals does she have? Amanda has a bunch of freckles! If before the summer started, she had one hundred fifty freckles and after the summer she got one hundred ninety-six freckles. How many freckles does she have? I hope you enjoy my questions!

Sometimes I go a little overboard with math. Although, math is my favorite subject in the entire school! I look at a flag and ask myself how many flags are there in the world? And even on the bus I look at all of the kids and say; If there are 24 seats and yet there is a small seat that carries one kid. But the other seats carries 2 kids then, how many kids are on the school bus? And when I get home I ask myself how many bristles are on a toothbrush? When I'm asleep I count the sheep that dance in my head. And when I wake up at breakfast and think how many times do I chew up my food? When I brush my teeth I ask; how many times do I spit in the sink This is drivin me practicly up the wall! At lunch I thought how much food does everyone have altogether? On the weekend I went I went insane! I did'nt get any sleep at all because all I thought about was MATH! I was sick and tired of it. I went beserk on test day. So, I went to a psychiatrist...

I brush my teeth two times a day. It takes me about two min. to brush them. If it takes me two min. How long will I brush them in two years? I go to the dentest about every three munths to get a checkup and my teeth cleaned. If it cost about five dollers how much would it cost in five years? Whenever I go to the dentiset I miss about two and a half hours of school. If I miss two and a half hours how much would I miss in three years?

Yesterday I got up to go to school at 6:10 and my mom works up at the school so I had to leave at 7:25. It took me about 1 min to brush my teeth and about 3 to 4 min to get dressed and it took me about 2min to get my shoes and socks on. So do I still have some time left to do all my other stuff? It takes my mom about 1 to 2min to do my hair and then it takes us about 4min to get to school. Did me and my mom make it in time if the bell rings at about 7:45?

Fooling With School- There are seven hours of school , but I get ready ten minutes early . If you subtract those ten minutes, the minutes of math, and recess. Now change the answer to a fraction. Think of your favorite food . How much have you eaten ? How many pieces in a year ? Now for fun add 10+23+23+23-23+5= ?

On Monday I woke up and squirted 1 line of toothpaste and brushed my teeth for 1 min. ate my breakfast for five min.. and waited for the bus for 10 min.. If I divided the 10 by the six I would get the length of a commershial break. I got to school which lasted 7 hours. When I got home I noticed that one of my gerbils was out.That means that one half of my gerbil population was out. I threw ten jelly beans at it.There were 30 left in the bag.. It hid under 1 nightstand. I shoved 5 rocks under the nightstand used 1 hanger to scare out one gerbil. The gerbil the got stuck in one jelly bean bag and kicked out 10 jelly beans so how many are left?

I spent 3 and a half hours catching my gerbil which is one half of my school day!I then spent 5 min. checking my homework wich if was divided into my wating time for the bus would equal one half ofthe time. Then I went to bed and slept for 8 hours wich is one hourmore than my school day and is 4 and one half hours longer that it took me to catch my gerbil.This day was a one and one half day.

Insect Madness- It all started today in math class when Mr. Smith said,"Now that I think about it you can almost see anything as a math problem. The rest af the day I got that line stuck in my head. The next morning when I saw my katydid I thought:

If I had ten katydids and 3 broke two legs each. How many legs were not broken? ( Clue: 1 katydid has 6 legs. )

What if I only had 6 katydids and 4 crickets. 2 katydids and one cricket died. Would the amount of katydids and crickets be= < >?

When I was brushing my teeth I thought if I brush my teeth twice a day for one whole week. How many times do I brush my teeth per week?

Then the trouble really began. On the bus, I was thinking if the bus goes 40 mph the1st day, 10 mph the 2nd day, and 75 mph the 3rd day. What would be the average mph of the three days be.

That day I fell asleep on the bus. I had an awful dream. I dreamt that I was in a room with a big dry earase board. On the board I wrote: 3/4 x 4/3=1 hole Then I jumped through the hole and was free from the math curse.

On Saturday I went to the Country Club. My mom gave me $20 for something to eat. We each [my brother sister and I] got $3.50.I spent $2.80.

What if my brother sliped and bumped into a girl and knocked her tooth out and and the Dr.'s bill cost $20? I'd starve! How much money did I get back?

Two weeks ago I saw two men mowing there lawn and trying to find the perimeter when sudenly one of them hit a squirrl. It sounded like a lion that had roured really loud. Then I went inside and saw my mom trying to flip 10 pancakes she missed 6 of them I started to laugh. My brother was playing with 2 of his friends then one got mad at Logan so she punched him and left my brother started to cry. Then he only had 2-3rds of his friend left. Then I went to my room to watch a movie called Heat befor I knew it I was acting like I was in the movie I got a fake gun and started to act like I was shooting people my mom saw me and started to laugh I was so enbarsed. My dad was in his shop. It was 23 feet 9 in away from our house and he was dancing to music, and that was my wacky day!!

One summer day I was playing in the backyard,in the sprinkler,and my sisters,Mikka and Ariel,and two neighbors,Zack and Joe,at 10:30 am. About two hours later my mom called us in for lunch. About what time was it when she called us? Well we all started running through the garage,but Joe was already in there. He was laying on an old torn-up couch. I was running full speed toward the garage,and I suddenly slipped because my feet were wet! I fell right on Joe! My chin landed on his forehead,and busted open! I started crying really loud. How many minutes do you think it took for my mom to come running out? She was hysterical! How many stiches do you think I had to get? I had to get 3 stiches in my chin! But what if it was worse? How many would I get then? At least I only had to get 3!

Last week I saw a astronaut mowing his lawn. His lawn was rectangular. He decided to find the area of his lawn while he was mowing it. His shoe happend to be one foot long. So he was looking at his feet measuring the lawn while mowing the lawn at the same time. since he only has two eyes he didn't see the squirrel in front of him and accidently hit it. The squirrel made a sound like a dog barking, but the astronuat was so busy measuring his lawn that he didn't even notice that he hit the squirrel. He finnaly finished finding the two sides of his lawn. One side was 10 feet and the other side was 12 feet. Then he fiqured out that 12 feet times 10 feet is 120 feet. The End.

Yesterday I put both my blue,gray, green and white shoes on. I tied both shoes. Later on in P.E. my shoes kept coming untied and I tied my right shoe once and my left shoe twice. Then later on in the day I tied my shoe four more times. How many times did I tie my shoe?

You know my favorite subject used to be Language arts. I could'nt wait to get out of math but this year I like math more. My math teacher Mr. Smith makes math cool. He makes you think of things in a different way. Like some of the warm ups he gives us. Such as how much would you weigh if you took a bathroom scale in an elevator? How much when you go up? How much when you go down? When you do not move? I thought this guy was crazy but cool, now every one is crazy! I know I ask crazy questions. And about 30 or more of them a day. I ask things like how many stars are there? Or, how many aliens are there if are really aliens? I'm math CRAZY!
By Tori Brooks-Coppedge

I think I have a math curse. Everywhere I look I see math. It all started when Mr. Smith said,"Everywhere you look there's math." Thats when it all started. I started thinking if there's 28 books on a book shelf and each book has about 180 pages and Mr. Smith is going to take away 8 books. How many pages do the have altogether? If there's 24 students in math class then how many legs do the students have altogether? If there are 20 students in one class and 30 students in another class. That's fifty students altogether. If there is 25 boys and 25 girls what is the fraction of the boys and what is the fraction of the girls? I wish I could just get out of this math curse!! Then when I went into Social Studies class and I got out of the math curse but then my Social Studies teacher said,"You know everywhere you look there's Social Studies all around you."
