- Caution: remember that you always need work or an explanation for RP credit. NONE of these tasks need work, so you'll have to give an explanation.
- A simple explanation that points out that the term used in the problem goes either with the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd number in a number sentence will work for several of these. There's an example in the Sample RP scanned into D2L's RP 1 DropBox.
- Caution #2: do your own work. There is actually one error in the solutions attached to the HW #1 PDF for the problems I've listed. See if you can find it.
