6th Grade First Day Problem

                                                 

A worm is at the bottom of a 12-foot wall. Every day the worm crawls up 3 feet, but at night it slips down 2 feet. How many days does it take the worm to get to the top of the wall?

Discussion Question for 1st Day - 7th and 8th Grade

We have to do some actual MATH on the first day :-)

Just give it a try.  

Hint - you'll need to write something down!

In the 10 cells shown here, you are to inscribe a 10-digit number such that the digit in the first cell tells how many zeros are in the entire 10-digit number, the digit in the cell marked "1" tells how many 1's are in the number, and so on. Thus, if the "4" cell has a 2 in it, then there are two 4's somewhere in the 10-digit number
