- RP 15 - Required Practice for Mar. 7 material - Here are the 10 problems:
- SHOW ANSWERS only in each case - work and explanation aren't really possible.
- For that reason, there are sometimes several small problems combined into ONE RP item in this list.

- #2 - HW #21R: #2c - list them
- #3 - HW #21R: #3c - list SIX such numbers, not 3
- #4 - HW #31C: #1c

- #10 - HW #32: #5b for numbers 3bcd only
- That is, read the instructions for HW #32: #5b as if they said
"Counting by tens, give the Egyptian numeral that immediately precedes each numeral in Problems #3(b), 3(c), and 3(d)."
- RP 14 - Required Practice for Mar. 5 material - Here are the 10 problems:

- #1 - 3-3A (p.136): #12a using BALANCING - Show algorithm only, no explanation needed.
- #2 - 3-3A (p.136): #15 - Briefly explain WHY you chose as you did.
- #3 - 3-3A (p.136): #18 - Show algorithm only, no explanation needed.
- #4 - 3-3B (p.137): #11(b) - Show algorithm only, no explanation needed.
- Formatting issue: The computation is 582-44.
- #5 - 3-3B (p.137): #18(b) - (hint: leave a column gap for pints) - Show algorithm only, no explanation needed.
- Formatting issue: The computation is 1 gal, 3 qt, 1c MINUS 4 qt, 2c.
- #6 - 3-4A (p.157): #26 - problem asks for explanation outright
- #7 - 3-4A (p.157): #31(b) - Show completed algorithm only, no explanation needed.
- Formatting issue: there are two factors starting with 327 as the top factor and 9_1 (with one digit hidden) as the bottom factor.
- There are then three rows of number created underneath the Standard Algorithm bar: 327 is first, then 1_08 under that with a SPACE in ones column, and _9_3 below that with SPACES in the ones AND the tens columns.
- The final answer at the very bottom is 30--07 with two hidden digits and all digits lined up properly in the correct columns.
- #8 - 3-4B (SECOND half of p.158): #22(a) - Show algorithm only, no explanation needed.
- The computation is 327 x 43.
- #9 - 3-4B (SECOND half of p.158): #22(b) - Show algorithm only, no explanation needed.
- The computation is 2618 x 137.
- #10 - 3-4B (SECOND half of p.158): #31 - Show completed algorithm only, no explanation needed.
- RP 12 - Required Practice for Feb. 27 material - Here are the 10 problems:
- #1 - 3-2A (p.118): #18(b) - Show algorithm ONLY, no explanation needed
- #2 - 3-2A (p.118): #35(b) - Show completed algorithm ONLY, no explanation needed
- This problem has a typo and unclear start in the digital version.
- It should show THREE addends: _025 on top, 11_6 in the middle, and 3148 on the bottom.
- It should also show this PARTIAL sum underneath the bar: 6_6_.
- Please work the problem using these corrections to the formatting and typo.
- #3 - 3-2A (p.118): #37 - Show completed algorithm ONLY, no explanation needed
- #4 - 3-2A (p.118): Scratch Addition for #27(b) - Show algorithm ONLY, no explanation needed
- #5 - 3-2B (p.120): #17(a) - Show algorithm ONLY, no explanation needed
- #6 - 3-2B (p.120): Scratch Addition for #25(a)(ii) - Show algorithm ONLY, no explanation needed
- Formatting is bad here also. The TOP addend is 2350. There are 5 addends altogether.
- #7 - 3-3A (p.136): #8(a) - Explain
- Again, the digital version is hard to read.
- This problem shows vertical work indicating that 28+75=913 and ending with 913 as the bottom number.
- #8 - 3-3A (p.136): ADD #18, imitating Standard Addition - Show algorithm ONLY, no explanation needed
- #9 - 3-3B (p.137): #8(b) - Explain
- Formatting: this problem shows 57-38=21, ending with the 21.
- #10 - 3-3B (p.137): #10(a) - Show completed algorithm ONLY, no explanation needed
- This one shows a 3-digit minuend, 3-digit subtrahend, and 3-digit difference.
- The minuend is 3-- with 2 missing digits.
- Under that we see an actual minus sign and the 3-digit subtrahend 159.
- Below the bar is the difference -24, with 1 missing digit.
- The problem ends there.

- Caution: remember that you always need work or an explanation for RP credit.
- Some of today's tasks might be situations where you only write an answer list or picture, but for RP, I'd also expect an explanation too.
- If you ever find yourself writing ONLY "an answer" for RP, add work or an explanation to it.
