Thursday: Miss Marydoll’s Manic Maths Class for Those Who Enjoy A Maths Challenge.

I don't feel well.

She's going to be strict like my friend.
Scary

She is a supply teachr!

Ha ha, Laugh, thought I’d never start.

Na Callie you just have to keep saying stuff like. "That's not how miss does it" and losing your pencil and asking her if you can go to the loo an stuff like that.

But supply teachers might give us all kinds of horrible things to do like histery, jography and spelling tests

A supply teacher would be great (you can do all sorts of things to for them) Not that we wouldn't miss you Miss Marydoll. But Miss Aquagran is asking for it volunteering!

Miss Aquagran. R u an underwater teacher? Have you got aqualungs? Our Miss. Marydoll hasn’t but she’s very good at taking deep breaths with us north kids. And sometimes she has to ave a lie down .... and she doesn’t have a baby.....maybe cos she jumps up and down! Do u jump u and down?

Miss acquagran, I had sussed out you were a teacher and I know exactly what you are talking about. I'm not as daft as I make myself out to be! .

If I was still teaching, I would have been extremely particular, double checking everything, but this class don't really care.
They just want a bit of acarry on, as I do, to take our minds off things.

When you are sentenced to at least twelve weeks incarceration, you need some kind of light relief.

Feel free to join in anytime. Perhaps you would like to do some supply teaching, to give me a chance to try and get a supermarket delivery. ?

Sorry Miss Marydoll, I know I am a pain, but it comes from years of teaching the little smart arsed buggers known as Year 6, who picked one up on every breath one took. Please carry on.

Please Miss Marydoll don't stop doing sums for us because I like coming into class each day and flicking ink pellets at Doodle and Callistemon.

You’re the bestest Miss (can I have a macaroni now please )

Oh dear, I'm hanging my head in shame. I feel such a bad teacher.?

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

PS. It's meant to be a bit of fun, but hey, perhaps I shouldn't bother wasting spending time posting them.

The instructions, which were not printed, but exist on the original, ask for the column total. Pedantic I know , but hey,
.

Sorry, I dropped so many stitches it's more holes than crochet!

Like a string vest but more so

Come on callistemon my heads getting cold ?

I'm crocheting away, however, it could take a while.

Doodle's hair will probably be down to her knees by the time I finish. One double crochet, drop two, oops.

An ? I'm so pleased, overthinking isn't so bad after all.

Hmm. Short hair. Put my head in the freezer will you. I’m going to get my mum to dye my hair pink and spiked then I’ll be a punk. Actually it feels quite liberating so there. ?

Who here would like to make a crocheted helmet for Doodle?

Tee hee! Doodle looks just like that painting by Edvard Munch.....and now she’s screaming! Tee hee! Oops Miss is coming.... quick, hide!

Too late willa45 *Callistemon just did a Bruce Willis with the shavers. Don't worry Doodle it will grow!

For as long as possible, PLEEEEZ! ?

Me! Me! I'll put Doodle's head in the freezer! How many days do I keep her in there for willa?

Chewing gum Doodle? Really? Hmmm.....I've heard freezing works very well (gum hardens then combs out in small pieces). If you can hold your head in the freezer long enough, problem solved. A good pair of scissors will also do the trick (your hair, not your head)! ............... Oh, I love this thread!

Thanks, I see where you are coming from now Trisher.

It was meant to be a simple calculation, as some posters thought the previous questions were too difficult. I did say, that I was giving posters an easier time.

I thought, as the other numbers in the puzzle were low, that posters would realise that, it wasn't a difficult level.
Also, I usually hint, when BODMAS is involved.
Erroneously, I expected my class to read my mind and know that I wasn't trying to trick.?

However, your solution is perfectly valid. Trisher and Callistemon, for you.?
It does demonstrate, however, that our perceptions of and approach to solving problems, can be very different.

What have I learned from this? Be very precise and allow for all interpretations.?
