I feel really stupid, but my first grader just brought home some math homework. It's a square with the numbers written in little squares inside it, 1-10 is across the top line, then 1-20 across the second line and so on up to 50. The instructions say, "Color numbers with 9 ones green, color numbers with 0 ones blue, color numbers with 2 tens red." What the heck does this mean? My son says he doesn't know and the teacher won't explain it. On the other page of homework the numbers go from 51 - 100 and the instructions say color numbers with 3 ones red, color numbers with 6 tens blue and color numbers with 0 ones green. Does anyone know what this means? I feel really dumb for not knowing and my son insists the teacher didn't tell him how to do this homework. I'll talk to the teacher tomorrow, but does anyone know how this homework is done?
