ANOTHER WEEK COMPLETED
This is the 38th day of Remote, Distance Learning! It seems many of you have a good rhythm and routine. I can only guess that based on your communication with me and your Lexia and Freckle results. All of you are getting your work done on a daily basis, and doing pretty well, for the most part (division has presented some challenges). I am proud of the responsibility you are showing during this strange, school experience. All in all, though, I feel good about well we have stayed connected.

THURSDAY'S (Star Wars) ALGEBRA ANSWER
Here was yesterday's algebra puzzler:

Only two answers were submitted for this puzzle (Morgan and Rheya.)
They both had different answers: 60 and 28.
The correct answer is: 28.
*The key thing to remember when there are different operations (add/subtract/multiply/divide) in an equation, YOU MUST MULTIPLY/DIVIDE before you add/subtract. I can see how someone would think the answer to this puzzle was 60. If the equation says: 8 + 4 x 5 = ?, then a person may do 12x5=60, but the order of operations rule in math says you must multiply/divide before adding/subtracting, so the equation would be 8+20=28.
