Math on 4/1/2014

Sam gave a difficult assignment in Math morning. In fact, most felt that it was absolutely impossible. In fact, it was! Happy April Fools' Day! 

After some time spent attempting to work on the problems alone, students quickly figured out that they weren't able to be solved as written. They were then given a new assignment: identify why each problem is impossible, then rewrite each to include the information required to solve it.
