beefche Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hah! Yes I am smarter than a 5th grader! I won a million without any help from the kiddos. Actually, I'm a little addicted to this game now. My best friend got one of her kids the little handheld game of this and I keep snatching it away. Some days I'm only smarter than a 2nd grader to my consternation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moksha Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 How could a second grader know that a 90 degree right turn would not take you to starboard? I don't believe they are taught any geometrical or nautical terms in the second grade, for second grade math questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightynancy Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 While my son is Tech Support in this household, I am pleased to report that I *am* smarter than a fifth grader! Being that I teach math to gifted fourth graders, I'd better be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkerboy Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) Ok that quiz is such a joke. I got a 1st grade social studies question that asked what the most populous city in Washington state was. Are you kidding me? Ok I am not saying I didn't know the answer but is that something a 1st grader would know. Maybe a 1st grader from Washington might know that, but I have my own 2nd grader so I asked him what the most populous city in Idaho (where we live) is. He had no idea. Then I asked him if he knew what the word populous meant. He thought it meant great. So I asked him again and the only city he could name was the one he lived in. Either I am not getting my money's worth from his school or this game is rigged. Edit: I just got a 1st grade science question that used the word indiginous, give me a break.
