7 Kids’ Homework Questions That Leave Adults Scratching Their Heads

Several parents shared their children’s homework, that made them tilt their heads and call for help. Fortunately, some Reddit and Twitter users came to the rescue and shared their two cents.

The older one gets, the more complex educational work assigned to students gets. However, there are some instances where kids receive complicated homework.

When such instances arise, some parents seek the help of the online community to derive an answer for their little ones. Some of them are shared on the Reddit and Twitter platforms.

Grade 1 English

A mom was puzzled by her first-grade son’s English homework, where he had to encircle the photos that had the same ending sound as a fish’s fin. However, the options available were far from the picture. The available choices included a hamburger bun, a frog, a jar lid, and a spoon.

Some Reddit users offered their thoughts to the clueless mom, stating that the ending sound did not necessarily have to rhyme with fin. Some answers included bun and spoon, which both ended with an “n.”

Kindergarten School Work

Kindergarten homework questions are usually easy to answer with an adult’s help. However, one parent couldn’t think of the three-letter word required to name the picture printed on the activity sheet. The picture included a rabbit with her bunnies playing.

Fortunately, a kind Reddit user thought of the best possible answer: pet. “These kinds of worksheets try to make the last one more difficult by switching the sound of the letter to the end of the word to try and throw the kid off,” the person said.

Grade 3 Math Problem

Math problems for elementary students are often easily computed with all the numbers given in the problem. However, a Grade 3 student had to solve the question, “Janell had 15 marbles. She lost some of them. How many does Janell have now?”

One Reddit user suggested that the answer was less than 15 but did not think it was a fair question for someone in the third grade. Other users believed that the student should answer in a similar manner as the question, such as “Janell lost her marbles.” Another user said, “She has some left.”

A Six-Year-Old’s Homework

While some educational problems for six-year-olds are visual, one student’s assignment was beyond the comprehension of her parents. On her activity sheet appeared a print of a paint splatter and several apples.

The question read, “How many apples could be covered by the paint. There cannot be more than 20.” Several Reddit users were also confused by the question, while one believed it was a riddle.

Grade 1 Math

One Twitter user shared a Singaporean math problem for grade one students, and it seemed almost impossible to solve. However, one person solved the problem but tweaked the question a bit.

Another Math Problem

Another math question was posted on Twitter, leaving people confused. The question made students calculate the perimeter of a shape best on the calculations of another rectilinear shape.

One person replied to the post with a complicated answer and sarcastically said, “It’s very much justified to ask these to a [ten-year-old].”

Solving for X

Math can sometimes be complicated but often has one solution. However, this one math problem was too complex for the Twitter world.

“An orchestra of 120 players takes 40 minutes to play Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. How long would it take for 60 players to play the symphony? Let P be the number of players and T the time playing,” the question read. While it may be too complex, one Twitter person replied:

“The math is irrelevant in the case of this Beethoven 9 problem. As a performer who has performed it many times, the speed of the symphony is NOT a function of the number of musicians performing it.”

Reddit is one of the online forums people go to for questions. Previously, Reddit users shared 10 Intriguing Items That Perplex Observers with Their Form and Function.

Prince William reveals devastating sorrow: ‘Ohh my wife…’

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTAs) isn’t shy to famous guests and perhaps the biggest name of anyone in attendance was the Prince of Wales and future King of England, who appeared sad as he discussed his wife’s health.

Prince William’s wife of 13 years, Kate Middleton, recently had abdominal surgery at The London Clinic for undisclosed reasons, and Lady Diana Spencer’s son had no intention of revealing those to the public either.

It normally wouldn’t be an issue as the Royal Family are very secretive about health but, in a stark contrast, King Charles III was very open about his own prostate surgery and then his diagnosis of an unrelated cancer.

“I’ve seen less than ever,” Prince William said, on how many films he has watched. “With my wife it’s been a bit… But I hope we catch up, I’ll make my list tonight.”
Why all the hush?

Middleton simply may not want her private affairs to be known to everyone in the world, which is a reasonable request made by many normal people too, but it hasn’t stopped conspiracies and questions flying around…

The question on many lips is if the King is so transparent about his own health to the nation, then why is the ex-Dutchess of Cambridge being so private?

The only thing we know thus far is that it is not cancer, Kensington Palace made that very clear. Nonetheless, many suspect it could be Crohn’s Disease, a hysterectomy or surgery to handle avid refluxes following the delivery of three children in the last decade.

Whatever the reason, it knocked the future Queen off her feet as she needed her entire immediate family to rally around her and to look after her children, George, Charlotte and Louis.

That included her husband who stepped back from official royal duties for a brief period, whilst Middleton is expected to return to hers after Easter once she is back to a full recovery.
