Questions
Does a problem ever repeat?
No. Each school day has its own problem for each grade, and none repeats within a school year.
How is the day chosen?
By counting the weekdays since August 1. A weekend shows the Monday that follows. If you had a snow day, use the Next school day button to catch up.
What if my school is closed?
Use Next school day and Previous school day to move to the problem you want. Nothing is lost or skipped.
Are the answers right?
Every problem is built by the program from numbers it checks, so every answer is exact.
