    Really, so 25cm is more then 20cm then.

    Sounds like a year 7 question to me.

    Take your answer of 350 to the teacher and see what she says. A good teacher is quite happy to admit they are wrong to their students, it shows that everyone is human and makes mistakes, teaches kids more than being right all the time. My students expect me to make mistakes, especially in spelling and they are happy with it that way.

    Maths is next period, I will write it up on the board exactly as it is here with the line break and see how long to get the correct (350) answer. Also will see how many come up with the wrong interpretation.

    and theres more to the debate at one point he says you have rectangle ok 25cm x20 cm ok and we move 10 cm from the width and ad it the length and the perimeter doesn't changes but the area does as he bang his hand down to make point .Well that did put me back a bit as l was thinking he worked his point to the rest of the house and l could see them starting swing his way again .but l came home stong and got them back

    when you read the question on the sheet there is a few gaps that are not neededdid they do this just to see

    But would it change your view?

    If you don’t believe us (mostly University educated) then why would believe a bunch of kids.
