brainteasers

At the beginning of each month a brainteaser will be posted here. You will submit your solution into the monthly Google Classroom folder by the due date at the end of the month. Google Classroom is the ONLY place that I will accept submissions!!!

You MUST provide a clear and correct solution, show ALL of your work/explain your thought process to receive full credit!! If there are multiple bullet points or parts to the question I expect you to clearly answer each part. You can do this on paper and take a photo to submit or use a Google Doc.

Upon correct and on time completion, you can earn up to 5 extra credit points to use on a test or quiz grade OR you can choose to receive a homework pass. Please write at the top of the page if you are solving it for extra credit points or a homework pass. 

Absolutely no late solutions will be accepted!!
