WEB QUESTION: Be the first person in your class to show Ms. Trask your answer and your work and you could win a prize. The answer to the last week's question was the seventh grade (remember the trick for dividing by 3 - 1+2+3=6 and six is divisible by 3, so 123 is also divisble by 3). You could make 3 groups and each group would have 41 students.

QUESTION: The weather is sure getting colder. In Minnesota the temperature was -8 degrees fahrenheit on Saturday. This was 12 degrees less than the temperature in Indiana on the same day. What was the temperature in Indiana? Make sure you explain your answer.

Good Luck!
