Can you solve this kindergarten math problem?

Post your answer here!

What the hell does that mean :/

You fail at kindergarten's maths.

I had to look up "number bond" because I never heard that before. I think you're supposed to draw the colored cubes (one blue, 4 red) in the top circle. In the branching circle you draw one blue in one circle, and 4 red in the other circle. So 1+4=5

But this is an awful question

Okay... Can YOU solve it?

Needs better instructions.

That's not math... where the hell are the numbers???

What is a cube stick? And what do they mean with hidden partners?

Thats not kindergarten math for sure.

Pretty patronizing isn't it

What the hell kind of effed up hippie math is that?

It's math?

Still gonna give it a shot. First you color a chosen amount of squares blue and the remaining ones red. Then you color it in the identical manner within the "stick of Cubes" that's in the vicinity of the top circle. Then you put your hands down over the circles on the paper in the same manner as shown, then color the bottom fingers the same color that you covered with your own hands......I think.

No idea why this is a math question though.

Pi

cube stick?? number bond?? hidden partners?? seriously...what the ****?

just copy from a friend and you will get an A or 10 (at least we have ratings of grades from 1 to 10 )

wow, it's like the person who made this had a stroke while writing the question

on second thought I'm not even sure that question was worded at a kindergarten reading comprehension level (despite its nonsensical nature)

You forgot, show to an adult. But damn fine summation. What's next, teaching calculus to 7 year olds?

I graduated college with a Master's Degree and I don't even understand it much less a kindergartner.

Maybe it makes more sense if you actually have a teacher explain what the hell a cube bar and hidden partner are.

Maybe all that shit is explained earlier in the workbook?

Looks like you have to color the cube stick to the left, then replicate that exact picture and colors in the number bond whole, while separating the blue and the red cubes into their own individual number bond parts. Then you basically color in the fingers what you colored the cube stick.

So based off what that kid's already colored in, they would color the cubes in the whole the same, then draw 1 cube in one of the parts and color it blue, then draw another 4 cubes, and color them red, in the other part. Then they hold up 1 finger on one hand and hold up 4 fingers on the other and show their parents the "hidden partners" they found within the number 5. Lastly, color the fingers on the paper accordingly.

At least, that's my guess, after looking some stuff up. Needs context.

Seems unnecessarily complicated though. Like I'm unlearning math just trying to figure it out.

i have no idea what its saying and i have done calculus at the highschool and college level.

What language is that? I think my omni-tool glitched while reading it... (Yeah, I'm replaying Mass Effect)

That's why the Mayans were so happy. They understood math. Everyone needs to learn math and have fun with math

How is that math? They just want the kid to colour things.

This is an example of why the US keeps dropping behind other countries as far as education goes. The Department of Education needs to be scrapped.

@JimB: Or at least stop using Babelfish to translate foreign homework =P
