Does it say all 5th graders made a 100%?

Most of these things are on the Texas curriculum; however, I guarantee you that very few of my 90 5th graders would make a 100. Maybe I'll try it with them. Some of these questions were quite specific and required great memory - something most 5th graders don't yet have.
Yes, Lyn, my age often shows - especially in my hair! I still prefer to use an atlas to MapQuest. Their directions can be quite confusing, especially in large cities.

Ah?m wif th' rest of them fo'eigners hyar.
Heck, when Ah was a goin' t'school thar weren?t nothin' West of th' Mississippi River o' No'th of th' Mason-Dixon Line. Over half them questions were either out west o' out of th' dad burn U. S. of A.
And thet one about them yard sticks. Shucks them thet they gave away at th' hardware sto'e might be a tad sho't ifn? they were used t'push wood thru th' saw o' stir paint. We usually measured by steppin' off. Course Earl and his size 16s and lanky legs could throw off thet measurement a bit.
Still made 68 per cent!!!!!

geebee said:My answer was "1". I remembered the rule that prime numbers are ones that are divisible only by themselves and "1", so I figured "1" was a prime number since it fit the rule. Oh well, at least I still have decent thought processes.
Cindy's score was 78%.
Geebee, Cindy says to tell you that she thought the exact same thing about the prime number; guessed it was "1" for the same reasons. AAAAhhhh!!!!

OK, I never was good at Geography but with a minor in math I can't remember 2 is the lowest prime number!?! Do I get to blame that on pumphead?

Me too, Ann! At least I feel like I'm in good company
I think today's 5th graders are learning things that I learned in H.S. or never learned at all...or have simply forgotten by now. Can we blame it on pumpheadedness maybe?

Jean, I am amazed at the vocabulary of children today. I didn't know all those words way back when. My 12 y.o. greatgranddaughter is learning more and more words every day and she will ask us to define a word for her and then she uses it. When it comes to the 'new' math, I am lost, but I can get to the answer without going through all those steps. If that doesn't work, there's always a calculator.

Ruth,
When I taught 5th grade math, our textbook stated that 1 was a prime number.

Can someone give me the definition of a prime number? I knew what it was when I was in school, but it's been a long time since then!

Here goes:
Here goes:
To my knowledge, a prime number is a number that cannot be divided equally by any number other than itself. Three is a prime number, but nine is not. Seventeen is a prime number, but eighteen is not. (I hope this explanation is correct). And based on this explanation, I still think that 1 is a prime number.

From Dr Math:
?A prime number is a positive integer that has exactly two positive integer factors, 1 and itself. For example, if we list the factors of 28, we have 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, and 28. That's six factors. If we list the factors of 29, we only have 1 and 29. That's two factors. So we say that 29 is a prime number, but 28 isn't. Another way of saying this is that a prime number is a positive integer that is not the product of two smaller positive integers. Note that the definition of a prime number doesn't allow 1 to be a prime number: 1 only has one factor, namely 1. Prime numbers have exactly two factors, not "at most two" or anything like that. When a number has more than two factors it is called a composite number. Here are the first few prime numbers:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199, etc?
Per Wolfram Mathworld:
?The number 1 is a special case which is considered neither prime nor composite (Wells 1986, p. 31). Although the number 1 used to be considered a prime (Goldbach 1742; Lehmer 1909; Lehmer 1914; Hardy and Wright 1979, p. 11; Gardner 1984, pp. 86-87; Sloane and Plouffe 1995, p. 33; Hardy 1999, p. 46), it requires special treatment in so many definitions and applications involving primes greater than or equal to 2 that it is usually placed into a class of its own.

OK!!!!!??????
Now WHAT WAS THE QUESTION?????

Is 1 a Prime number?
Is 1 a Prime number?
Well, I was wrong!
A prime number has exactly two factors.
For example, 1 x 2 (two factors 1,2)
Another example, 1 x 3 (two factors 1,3)
but . . . if we consider
1 x 1, there is only one factor, so it is not prime.
I think Lisa in Katy's way of teaching prime numbers is probably easier
How did Gadget sneak in an answer before me?
