Our math challenge is changing a bit. Instead of participating in groups, you will now solve these problems individually. On Monday, we will read over the question together on the blog. As the week goes on, it will be your responsibility to work through the question. Then on Friday, we will find the answer together and those who had the answer correct will get a special prize.

Happy Problem Solving!
