Snow Day Math!

Posted on by

Early dismissal, yaaaaay!

Create a word problem for your classmates to solve.  It must be a problem we can solve with either multiplication or division, but don't tell us which one we need!  Your problem should have to do with something fun you are doing on this snowy afternoon.

Type your problem, and then answer a classmate's problem.
