Things that make you go hmm...Grade 1 Maths

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Question a. Route _____ is the shortest.

Singular... yet K, L and M are the same length ... 11 units.

A square is 1 unit x 1 unit.. so to walk around a square is 4 units.

K, L and M are all walking in the direction of the school. If the kid makes rational decisions thereafter all 3 routes are the same length. Aren't they ?

Yes... they give the dimensions of the squares in the grid and he walks on the grid lines from star (start) to the end star.

No two paths are the same length.

K = 23
L = 11
M = 17
N = 19

The real travesty is that the handout is copied in b/w. It clearly needs to be in colour to be easily understood.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
