4 If the Red Duotang comes home in your backpack tonight, it means you have homework in Problem Solving. Every morning we work on our red duotangs and answer 2 questions. We have to show our work and write a word sentence for the answer. We get a happy face stamp if it is correct and an orange circle if it is wrong. Ms Cowdy will re-mark ones that you get wrong if you let her know you corrected it. Any problems not finished in the 20 min time period will be homework. Each day the problems will be posted on the blog below so you can do your homework or corrections.
