Hi everyone!  How is your summer beginning?  I’ve been at school a bit each day this week.  The room is starting to look packed and emptied.  I think I’ll be done by Friday.  That’s my goal.  At the end of the year you wrote some great math problems for each other to solve.  Here are a few.  Each Wednesday I’ll post a few more. Leave your math thinking and solutions in a comment.  Happy Mathing!

In the hockey try outs in the locker room Max was there with 13 other people.  In the other locker room there was 17 people.  If there were 18 kids who were late, but came, how may players were there altogether?     If 2/4 of the kids had to leave early, how many players were left at the try outs?
