Math
Just tried to "help" my 4th grader with math. 4th grade Math. Yikes. I couldn't make heads or tails of it, man! In my defense I was getting the littles up from their naps, helping Sarah with her homework and starting supper at the time this worksheet was shoved at me. A parallelogram is a quadrangle that has 2 pairs of parallel sides. Is a rectangle a parallelogram? Is a square a parallelogram? Is a square a rhombus?(What's a rhombus?!)Is a trapezoid a parallelogram?(What's a trapezoid?!)Draw a quadrangle that has at least 1 right angle. Draw a quadrangle that has 2 pairs of equal sides but is NOT a parallelogram. Josh answered yes or no and drew some shapes and will be asking Daddy to check it over when he gets home from work.

I'm so glad Poppers has a new job and can help with homework now. My math skills stop dead at the 6th grade. But in your defense, I hardly understood what you said in that post. Drangle what?
Carla, I feel your pain. This fall I have been working with Emily on fractions. She will be studying them most of the school year. Greatest common denominators. Yuck.
Drangle me a par a lell o gram and a trap e zoid. and a fraction.
But does a fraction of a parallelogram have two sides or three? Are they parallel?
parallelagram?
how the heck do you spell that anyway?
Does it have anything to do with being a paralegal?
I refuse to believe that "quandrangle" is a real thing.
Ok then. Hats off to the Daddy who stayed up online until 10pm doing the worksheet. A drangle that has 2 equal sides but is not a parallelogram is called a kite, people! I hope Pat gets a good grade.
Whats a quadtrapdranglefractezoid?!
The internet is a wonderful thing of course.
I started looking for an answer at 9:55 pm.
I can't WAIT to see what NB brings home this year! Last year (fourth!) was a killer for us! I was on the internet trying to solve all these problems! (Try AOL Homework Buddy!)
This year, his teacher sent her home phone number in case we have questions. I think I love her.
Update-we only got one wrong on the worksheet! Apparently a square is a rhombus! Who knew?
Butrfly-good luck with 5th grade Math this year! I am with ya all the way!
That totally just made my brain hurt!
