Tonight's Math Homework (for LCPS 2nd-graders)....

"5 + ? = 10"
"Use counters and Workmat 2 if you need to."


Surveying the closest available representative students:

- From the 4th-Grader - "5"
- From the 2nd-Grader - "(whine)...5"
- From the Kindergartner - "5, of course"
- From the 3-almost-4 year old (after consulting her fingers)..."another 5!".

...Draw your own conclusions, but I think we need to step up the pace here in 2nd grade, no "investigations" necessary...
