Good Morning! Please come in and copy down your
agenda for the week. Leave your planner on your
desk and I will come by and stamp it. If you don’t
have your planner, you will need to go to the office
and buy a new one.
When you are finished with your agenda, please get
your journal and get started with your Problem
Solving. You need to copy down the problem,
before you attempt to solve it.
Problem Solving
A farmer has to transport a fox, a goose, and some
grain across a river. He has a boat which he can row
back and forth from shore to shore. He can take
himself and one other thing in the boat. However,
unless he is present, the goose will eat the grain
and the fox will eat the goose. How can he
transport all three things across the river?
