I wish educators wouldn't hand out these word puzzles in math class. They aren't math problems, and they only confuse students. Sometimes, it's almost like they're trying to play a prank on their students....

For the first one, think "days of the week". For the second one, the items aren't "letters", so the instructions make no sense. For the third one, remember to watch the other thread(s) you've started on this. :wink:
