Whenever I think about Clinton and Math, the first thing that comes to mind is Mrs. Enchelmaier’s Math Superheroes that parade through the library to show me their awesome costumes! I miss you all coming into the library to get a book, use the computers, build a robot, work on your group projects, record a story, do leap frog races (Mila!), show me the latest version of the graphic novel you’re writing, recommend a book, code some Spheros, check your Battle of the Books teams, share a story studio story…\u00a0 In short, just wanted to tell you I miss YOU!<\/p>\n

Now for some Math fun… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Let’s start slowly with some Math riddles…feel free to answer in the comments below. I will post answers on Monday!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you multiply me by any other number, the answer will always remain the same. Who am I?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. You are given 3 positive numbers. You can add these numbers and multiply them together. The result you get will be the same. What are the numbers?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Using only addition, how can you use eight eights to get the number 1,000?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. A clerk at the butcher shop is 6 feet tall and has size 10 feet. What does he weigh?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Add the number to the number itself and then multiply by 4. Again divide the number by 8 and you will get the same number once more. Which is that number?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now to amaze and astound your friends and family members…<\/p>\n
