<p>my school was having math week with problem of the day and I saw this was the problem of the day Friday: the other days weren't much harder...</p>
<p>MATH WEEK - PROBLEM OF THE DAY:</p>
<p>A painter charges $12 an hour, while his son charges $6 an hour. If the father and his son worked the same amount of time together on a job, how many hours did each of them work if the combined charge for their labor was $108?</p>
<p>A. 6 B. 8 C. 9 D. 12 E. 18</p>
<p>A (tenchar)</p>
<p>---was this your whole school, or just one class... to what point and purpose...</p>
<p>for national math week..they had a pie eating contest (get it, pi), problems of the day, decorations all over, and some guessing game plus some other crap</p>
<p>wow...this was for "national math week" that IS funny...
I figured it was just a: my math teacher puts up math problems for fun...
haha, pi... where (state) do you go to school?</p>
<p>We celebrate no national holidays that are not required by law, only religious holidays from Judaism.</p>
<p>NJ school..we had it for our Mu Alpha Theta because there is nothing better to do..lol besides take hard ass contests/tests</p>
<p>Does your MAT club ever participate in the larger competitions that are very difficult?</p>
<p>umm</p>
<p>we do nj math league, the AMC, the national log, the warren county math comp (lol), the rocket city math comp, and tutor and math week and i think that's it...i find the contests difficult, but i dont care much for them anyways..we just need to do them to stay in.....</p>
<p>waaait, you are required to do the math competitions to stay in your school?? of do you mean your math-club at school or something...?? hmmm...that's kinda weird...</p>
<p>I thought that the honorary society of MAΘ had very difficult entrance tests similar to the difficulty of the AMC?
Interesting how your math club is fairly local; some stick only to the national competitions and preparation like Chienkuo SH in Taipei.</p>
<p>ida, just to stay in the math honor society lol...and no entrance exam...we just need to have a 95 weighted average in our math courses and we need to have completed at least algebra II. there are too many people in it though..</p>
<p>ah... that sounds rather easy to get in... maybe they should make the qualifications harder...</p>
<p>it used to be a 93 weighted, but they adjusted that..lol...yeah...it should be a
95 UNWEIGHTED and you should have to be in Honors/AP courses, no CP nonsense is my opinion.</p>
<p>The math club at our school is composed of one Asian kid. :/ (And before you ask, its not me)</p>
<p>wait..you're joking right? we have well over 30 members.</p>
<p>No I am dead serious. I think during my 4 years at this school the max membership was about 4 last year.</p>
<p>maybe that's because it's just a math CLUB?? it's not a math honor society or is it?? i think HONOR SOCIETY attracts more members..also how big is your school?</p>
<p>Our school is about 1900-2000. Around 460-480 senior class. National Honor Society is a packed club though. All the college whores join it.</p>
<p>Mu Alpha Theta was disbanded in my school.</p>
