Challenge 1 Answers
"I like that it was interactive. I like that it was computer-based and then they have to write the responses to the rounding question. I think it would be challenging for a 4th grader."
Challenge 2 Answers
"The type of ship to move coal to St Louis is also a bit odd...looks like a canoe! "
Challenge 3 Answers
"I know I didn't write essays in 7th grade. I am not sure what the standards are but I don't think some of my freshman could do this. It would require a lot of time for reading and writing. I don't mind the task I just don't know the standards."
Challenge 4 Answers
"I thought it was a fairly easy question, but I did not get question correct. So apparently, it is more difficult than I thought."
Challenge 5 Answers
"The current 3rd grade test has multiple choice questions with only 3 choices allowing every student a 33 1/3% chance of guessing correctly. This question removes much of the 'lucky guess.'"
Challenge 6 Answers
"It took me a minute to figure out what I was to do. But I liked that it was interactive and I just highlighted."
Challenge 7 Answers
"I liked this question, but I'm a geek like that."
Challenge 8 Answers
"They need stamina to stay with a multi-step question and to show their work and any equations. They also need to know the mathematics in order to answer all parts of the question."
Challenge 9 Answers
"Just the math things....you know it or not."
