Schools exams be like
“ If Sally had 4 arms and ate 30 cakes and lived on the street next to the one in India, and if Timmy took away 70 oranges and then bought a pair of pants and lived on earth, how long can Bob’s parents run in 20 minutes?”
Can't escape a word problem without getting diabetes.
Bruh...
Mad accurate
I want to actually try and solve this, but I’m too lazy XD
This is why I know student loans are a legalized ponzi scheme

I was valedictorian but I don’t help my second grade granddaughter because second grade math consists of some thing with lines and dots in squares and I have no idea what they’re doing they don’t just carry the one like normal people.
Quick draw math. I'm currently virtual mom *teaching* it, 2nd grade. I like it. It makes sense to me, now. They do carry the one. It's referred to as a tens place (one of the long lines is a tens). I was SCARED when I 1st saw 2nd grade math hieroglyphics 😳 then I just went with the flow. 😆 Faked it till it clicked 👍
They’re teaching for conceptual understanding instead of just having them memorize steps. It’s the best way to help them be able to connect it to what they learn in the next grade.
All I can say is none of them seem to be able to add, subtract, multiply, or divide. but, if they’ve got the concept, good on ya. Oh, and since cursive is out they can’t read anything not in print, but who needs that other stuff anyways. Besides, they can just write words or sentences any way they like, because what was that? Spelling? Grammar? Vocabulary? What was that again? You mean you had to memorize stuff? Didn’t you have spellcheck and grammar check and a dictionary on your computer? Sometimes you didn’t have your iphone and you had to do math on paper? What was that, the dark ages?
who knew when you recorded this.. you'd be TEACHING your children by the middle of the school year.
And at the start of the new one! 😭
I realized that Penn was wearing the same shirt for the new one!😂
4th Grade Test: "What three bodies of water border Canada: Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans"
The Great Lakes: T_T
Hudson Bay: TvT
St Lawrence River
U guys from Canada 2?
@@chezchez3821 No, but a state that borders Lake Superior.
Yeah . . . sometimes these teachers these days, I think don't seem to care all that much and THAT'S the problem.
This was fun. I looked up wolf as an endangered species, and it came up that the population is currently stable and is no longer on the list. If that is correct, perhaps schools need to update their info.😊
TOTALLY. We got these off the internet so we are probably wrong.
The schools never have touaugt the thing that should be tought
Y’all did NOT do all your research.
Since we restarted wolf hunting their packs have decreased dramatically. In fact we’re going straight back into where we were before hand. And that’s all because of us because we’re (humanity) stupid; AND so are you.
@@KeelyIleanBaker knock it off. I am so sick of people who hate people. And this video is a year old.
I have literally never related to anything more than Penn yelling "Hamilton!" when he got a history question right. I do that all the time.
As a theater kid I can totally relate!
Homeschooling rocks because then you keep learning WITH your kids! I am finally getting the "why" of elementary grammar rules down, and history and science are so fun when you've had some real life experiences (because I'm older) to tie concepts to. Math....let's just say I cracked an Algebra 1 book yesterday and began with adding and subtracting mixed numbers. 😉 My 11 year old corrected my lesson and I got 4 out of 30 wrong. Not too bad
Math story problems are the worst!!! If the flight to London takes blah blah blah...you probably didn't get past TSA anyway, so you're still sitting in the terminal!! Now that's math based on REAL life 😁
Yes! I hear exactly that ... blah, blah, blah...
i know i alway get them wrong
You guys are soooo underrated. You deserve wayyyyyyyyyy moree
This was a fun video guys! Thank you so much... I paused at all the word problems so that I could do them before you gave the answer. It was quite fun and I got them all right. To be fair though, and please do not take this as conceit, but I am really good at math. Math was always my favorite subject in school and I have always loved numbers in general. As an adult, I've taken it a step further. I now do taxes for a lot of my friends and family. Math is like 1% of taxes though. Taxes arer way complicated, but I've taken the time to learn and all that... Not that anyone cares, I'm just ranting while waiting for my laundry. Lol! 🙂😅😂
I'm homeschooled in 5th! I'm starting in September! Wish me luck, everyone!
Ashley Edwards lucky for us we don’t have to show our work
Yep!
@Evelyn Grace Thanks!
@Elaina Leach yesssss! hows it going?
Same
Aaaaaannd that's why we homeschool. Those are some tough ones. -Henry
Same here. I also knew these, though.
Henry Jodi's???
Same though!
I always hated word math questions and especially algebra or chemistry im so glad im done
I am so bad in my laptop 💻 in homeschool online
I literally learnt about rocks 4 weeks before school ended and have forgotten everything, yet I can still remember stupid facts from primary school😂❤️ love from England
I've been through 4th grade five times now, with six kids. My youngest is in second grade. I’ve been through 7th grade four times, with six kids too. My oldest didn’t live through the 5th grade, due to complications from Cystic Fibrosis. I have always loved math and numbers, still do! I enjoy watching your family’s videos. I’ve run across some things, with my kids, that they call it a different name and I had no clue, what they were wanting my kid to do! God bless your family.
I'm glad I'm not the only Mom who can't help her 7th grader!! 😛
😂 I homeschool my kids, and my 16 year old should be starting college if the stay at home order ever gets lifted.
But, thanks to your video, I finally understand why all the parents are freaking out. 😁👍
(I missed one question, and it was one of the explorer-questions. I cheated; I’m a super-nerd. 🤓 Though, tbh, I consider that trivia, not education. 🤣🤷♀️)
The daughter of my best friend in the states was in are you smarter than a 5th grader.
And I really love this episode. My dad studied maths, and I suck at it. And my teacher in the 80s couldn’t (or wouldn’t) explain the context. And my dad took that effort, to explain and find examples and did great! He always said he couldn’t teach. But he is great at explaining complex stuff. And he could ask those questions that would really help you to grasp the matter.
It’s probably because I live in another part of the United States but I had no idea what the answers to the 7th grade questions were and I was in 7th GRADE LAST YEAR!! 😂😂
HAHA! We got these off the internet so perhaps they aren't quite right.
I’m sure they are but I did like you said and shoved them all to the side 😂
@@JackG_Entertainment Nah, the problem is that the education system is built around the cram for a test and then forget everything method. You probably just forgot all the things you learned in 7th grade over summer...
Penn: I knew it was like one of the three but I was just like lions...
Kim: tigers
Penn: bears
Kim: oh my! Nevermind
Ahhhh!! lmao
This is exactly why real live success is not dependent on school success.
15 yrs ago i was dating a girl who had a daughter in school and she was having problems with some math and it was that new math they came out with that took two days to get the answer that would take us 2 seconds to get normally. well i have never done it and i called around to friends that had kids to see if anyone could help me figure it out and i got no help. i called the school the next day to see if they could teach us parents on how to do it, and no was the answer we got. so how we as parents help our kids understand how to do this homework if we are selves cant understand it?
The "new" math (aka common core") actually makes a lot of sense when you sit and think about it instead of automatically relying on what you use to. When I first saw it I was like what the heck none of this make sense and its way more complicated and unnecessary than how I learned it when I was young. Then I realized it was just different methods visualization of actual numbers to help you do mental math, and a lot of the common core math process is actually how I do the math mentally... I just could never explain it before.
If you were to ask me to multiply whole numbers between 0 to 12 I can easily give you the answer in a heart beat because I was forced to memorize the multiplication table for it. But if you were to ask me give you the answer to 131 x 241 in 5 seconds I wouldn't be able to do it. It would take me a very long time to do it mentally. I could easily do it if you gave me a pencil because what it would look like if I had a piece of paper is this.
241
x131
______
241
723
241
______
31571
And as you can see that is pretty hard to visualize mentally. The problem with the way I learned how to do math was that I wasn't actually taught how to do math or rather understand the concept of it, I was just taught memorize certain numbers and equations / tricks and barf them out on demand without any real understanding of them. In common core they teach you like 5 different ways to visualize it... some of them are better than others depending on the person. So that is why they teach you all the methods, so that you can chose which one is easiest for you down the road.
I use to always get the right answer in math class by doing mental math pretty quickly in my head faster than other kids could get the answer, but I had no idea how express it on paper because it wasn't the "short cut" method that school wanted and they considered it the wrong way of doing math at the time... but in reality I was actually just doing one of the common core methods that are now being taught. A lot of the common core methods actually really help you to understand mathematical word problems because it helps you understand how to visualize the information that you are being told.
My mom is like a human calculator, I can toss out any giant numbers, ask here to divide it or even square root it and she can cough out the answer in 20 seconds. But ask her a word problem and you can see her have a nervous break down. And that is because she only knows how to input numbers into formulas and barf out data. All she knows how to do is use shortcuts. But once something becomes more complicated then just inputting numbers and requires visualization and identifying different values based on context... then the shortcuts don't work anymore.
Common core math is SHIT!!!
Go on RUclips?

My parents couldn't help me with math problems and most anything else school related once I got to about 6th or 7th grade. That was the late 80s, I'm about the age of Kim and Penn.
Mini (Target) shelve bolted by front door where Wallet, glasses (both kinds -i'm old), cell phone, and keys (on a hook) go EVERY TIME I come home.
I'm the director of an afterschool program. We provide 30 minutes of homework time a day and while we aren't required to help kiddos with their homework, we do our best. It's only the second week of school (we started August 8) and yesterday it took 3 adults to figure out 3rd grade math homework.
This is probably because of unfamiliar methods of solving requested. I'm not versed, but my math nerd brother says the new math methods his son is learning are great, way better than the methods he learned. beats me though.
I was a 7th grader in the Wake County Public School System last year and I had know idea what was happening in the 7th grade questions. 😬
I homeschool my kids. This year they are in 2nd, 4th, and 7th grades. I'm good with 2nd, that's cake. 4th is tough because the teaching methods are different than when I was younger, so I'm learning along with the 4th grader how to do things differently. The 7th grader though, he's basically self-schooled because all I'm good for anymore is checking to make sure he stays on task. The big kid asks me random school questions out of the blue sometimes and I either know or we look it up and learn together.
Honestly where I live we can get local high school students (who are planning on going into teaching) for tutoring and homework help, and they are a free resource. Check with local high schools and/or colleges to see if it is available in NC
I have a 7th grader and a senior in high school. Eldest stopped asking us for help by 4th grade. 😂 Youngest still asks, bless him, but he knows 80% of the time we are probably wrong. So he checks his work with friends. 😅 I tell him all the time to do his homework with his friends. They are all honor roll kids. 😁
My parents couldn't help me with math problems and most anything else school related once I got to about 6th or 7th grade. That was the late 80s, I'm about the age of Kim and Penn.
When I was married (from 2003-2007) and had step-kids I always enjoyed helping them with their homework. And I was pretty good at it too, considering some of the interesting facts stories I told my step-son (who was the oldest and was 8 when I married his mother) occasionally got him extra credit from his teacher, which was good because he was not an enthusiastic student at times. :-D
My favorite story was when I was helping his learn about the Revolutionary War when he was in the sixth grade. As we're discussing it he gets this sly grin on his face, and I know he's aching to be funny, so I ask him "What?" With a grin the little smart-aleck asks "Did you fight in the Revolutionary War, or were you too old?" I replied, "I'm thirty-eight, jackwagon. Not two hundred and fifty-something." He was cute. Sometimes. :-D
Watching this as a Geology and biology major I felt so good after the first few questions, and then that history hit and brought me back down to earth lol
Um you're giving me anxiety because I too have a (struggling) 7th and 4th grader. I can't help anymore either!
Actually Dire Wolves did exist. They are extinct now.
I am in school still and what my teacher tells us to do is call someone in our class and ask for help, but they can't tell you how to do it. We are only allowed to give a push in the right direction when someone asks for help. Sometimes it's showing a good way to do it, maybe answering a yes or no question.
Good luck this year with your children’s homework. Thank you for posting this.
Those 7th grade science questions are stuff I didn’t learn until high school anatomy and physiology if at all!! It’s tough to learn at any age honestly.
I love how Penn says "never take the bait & say the highest number or the lowest".....as if studying is not part of it just good guessing...hahaha!!
I juts did 7th grade last yr and hearing those math problems gave me major anxiety, lol! 😬
You also have to remember that we as kids learn it in class the day before we take the test, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Y’all did good! I totally failed all those questions! I don’t remember much from school! 😂 Of course things have changed a lot since I was there!
FYI to Penn, direwolves were once real animals, but are extinct. If you can ever make it out to CA for the La Brea Tar Pits, there are fossils there of direwolves that they found in the tar pits. Very very cool!
😂😂 0.07 “we can’t.”
I just want the record to show that I sat down and did the dan and Benny word problem and figured it out! I would hope I can do it because I took calculus but wanted to see if my brain would remember how to think about the problem! Yay!!!
Love the 80s song. Awesome idea. Good luck with seventh grade work!!
Lake Erie is a bordering body of water to Canada as well....just saying :) this was fun! :)
265 mph is really slow for a transatlantic flight.
"who sailed across the st. Laurence river?" I would've done the last one, I'm sorry Kim (^u^) haha
Math problem: you want to build a fence around a garden that is 25ft x 15ft. How much fencing do you need?
Me: you buy three rolls and see how far you get, or return what's left.
I am so excited you posted!!
Thanks for being here.
Keep going!I purple your channel and you deserve WAAAAAYYYYYYYY more likes and subscribers!
Dire wolves used to exist. Theyv been extinct since before human times if i remember correctly 😂
I've never even heard of a dire wolf until this video.
Awww I wish you said the answers outloud. I was trying to play along. 😂
Those math word problems were my favorite... I ended up going in after school to help my daughter's friends with their homework. I would draw little diagrams to show my work, and it helped them get the concept.
I have a 5th grader. Thank GOODNESS he just had math as homework last year (and previous ) although doesn't matter sense common core 🤦
My solution to math problems is to simplify the question where possible. For example, instead of "Bill leaves the city at 43 mph and Tom leaves going the other direction at 79 mph", I rewrite that in my head to "Bill stays in the city and Tom leaves at 43+79 = 122mph". Then I look for tricks in the question itself. For example, I once gave my Intro to Physics students the following question: I fire a bowling ball straight up; when the ball hits the ground, which of the following answers is CLOSEST to the amount of force it exerts on the earth? The possible answers are: (A) 17 kg (B) 9 (C) 12 m/s (D) 1 million newtons (E) 3 hockey pucks. The ball has a mass of 13.278 kg, a shear strength of 217.99 MPa, an initial velocity of 1.44 cm/s, and is launched with acceleration of 111.734m/s/s over 0.249s.
The trick: Force is measured in newtons, so the answer is D without having to keep reading.
Penn, if it makes you feel better, John C Calhoun was Andrew Jackson’s VP during Indian Removal

Do their kids go to private school? I remember taking honors classes in 7th grade, and I didn't have science questions that complicated. Honestly, those sound more like high school level questions. The 4th grade math problem is easy for adult me, but I remember doing fractions and still doing division and multiplication tables back then.

I am homeschooled, aka, who knows what grade I'm in and if I'm ahead or not, But I'm 15 and a softmore finishing algebra 2 early
I find it hilarious that I am watching this during COVID... Which started 6 months after you posted this video... 🤣🤣🤣
My entire life since the age of 19 I have worked with developmentally disabled and special needs. Obviously I found my calling.... I have an autistic son and he never had this kind of Education, and my older son I let him sign out in 11th grade and take his GED so I never really helped him with any of his homework. That's probably why we get along so well today. I would never ever be able to help any of my children today.
Penn:well Hamilton taught me
Me: Well Hamilton wasn’t a president
Penn finishes
Me: I big brain
You do realize Hamilton is a musical with lots of historical figures? And it was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda?
Diane Ericson yes actually that was before I learned about the musical 😅
@@melisdead5271 Hopefully you will have the opportunity to see it of you haven't already. Loads of fun. And aren't the Holdernesses just what we need for now?! :-)

Another amazing video!
Thank you so much.
My boys are in 7th and 9th grades. The majority of my efforts when helping them with homework is simply keeping them focused and on task. I do read directions and attempt to explain things in an alternate manner at times. This works great for my older son, but my younger son takes things more literal and doesn’t want my spin on things.
I’m in 7th!!!!!🤣🤣😂😂😆😆😝😝😜😜😎😎🤩🤩🤪🤪😃😃😁😁😆😆
Have a great school year!
I'm in 7th Grade too!
Me too!!!!
I’m in 3rd ;-;
Same!
Also, I am a kid going into my sophomore year of high school 😂 you guys were making me laugh so hard
I know everything about 7th grade stuff because I am in 7th grade and learning it right now
Haha 😂 I just found I go camping the 4th day of school 🏕
Wait, you’re telling me the Indian Ocean doesn’t border Canada? Great video guys, this was too entertaining. Keep it up!!!
Also, just to clarify, I’m not sure of the source of the test questions, but for the record, wolves are not being hunted to extinction. They were extirpated from most of the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries, but now gray wolf populations in the Rocky Mountains region are growing and expanding farther south and west. Many areas do not have an appropriate management plan, and therefore have such high wolf populations that they are detrimental to the ecosystem and unsupportable. While there are probably other specific locations in the world where wolves are currently being hunted to extinction, that is in no way the overall trend.

I'm going into 7th grade in a few weeks
Also, I love your videos!
10:37. "18:27 is to 16:x" is the same as "18/17 = 16/x." To solve for x you do 16×17/18.
Hilarious! Also, my husband has ADHD and this reminds me so much of us. He got through school because he was so could at multiple choice tests.
My tip is to check out Khan Academy on-line. One of my colleagues suggested it to me when my child was struggling with math last year and it really helped. We will be using it again this year for sure. They offer instruction on many subjects at many levels and it is free. They are donor supported.
I want to use my life line. Brain fart for the win🤔🤣
The area tile thingys. for multiplying. I never learned that until about 4 weeks ago. I'm in tenth grade and have no clue how i managed to pass grade kindergarten.
Don't know if anyone already answered, but you would solve the problem by using: 5x=2(x+79), 5x=2x+158, 3x=158, x=52.6
I never learned that stuff in 4th grade, and some of it I still haven’t learned.
I told my kids I can do all homework 📚 help except MATH! Hated it in school myself and still do today... I blame a mean teacher in 8th grade that embarrassed me in front of the entire class... I never applied myself again... true story! I’m actually better at it now than I was as a kid...
I stopped helping with homework after about the 3rd grade with our sons when they were younger,except for English, which I was good at, but now not so sure at my age! LOL! Our sons are now adults and know way more than my husband and I do.
Google is my friend when trying to figure out any homework my kids bring home. And it doesn’t hurt to have friends that are teachers! 😉🤣
saccharides are sugars.
carbohydrates are complex sugars.
monosaccharide is fructose for example,
industrial sugar is a disaccharide.
if i remember correctly.
I believe the flight to London is 14 hours and 37 minutes. You did not actually say how many minutes, you just said a few... It's actually quite simple. The flight back was 298 miles per hour for 13 hours. You multiply those two numbers and that tells you how many miles it flew. You then divide the mileage by the miles per hour and that tells you how many hours. I went a step further and I converted the decimal so that I could get the exact number of minutes.
You get extra cred sir!
@@sherizaahd Thank you! I hope this means I get like a sticker, or maybe an eraser or something... Hehe. 🙂😉🙂😉🙂
I think the biggest mistake when doing these types of challenges. Is forgetting that the child has been through several weeks of instruction and reinforcing activities to retain this information. I think it is a credit to the teachers of old that's the retention is still working in your adult life no matter what grade you may have come across this information. The retention is amazing. I say that this counts far more as a memory game than an actual I am smart game. I would like to see how long your children can remember their earliest lessons and retain them. I think that would be a funnier challenge. Let's see if your kids can retain information as well as you.
Yeah, to retain the information until the test, then forget it.
First India was at America, and now it is above Canada.
i got the question about Ben and Denny right. 😁
soooo it took Dan two hours with an average speed of 79 mph to catch up. so 79x2 is 158 miles (because average speed per hour - > traveled 79 miles in one hour, it took him two hours.)
So Benny traveled the distance of 158 mi in 3 hours. 158:3 = 52.67 mi per hour
Would love to watch you two do an escape room together!!
Oh my gosh, yesssss!
The seventh grade Science problems and didn’t learn until 10th grade biology. LOL
i got As and Bs in school until high school the first time i got a C i cried. i felt so stupid. but being smart is all about just memorizing what u learn and if u can then u can get through school. but for me i was scared i was gonna fail 12th grade cause i went to public school and there were so many days i had to skip a school day because i had seizures every 5 days and i kept losing my memory.
Yay Holderness family!
yay!
The question about Dan has me questioning your correct answer..... if Dan left 3 hrs before Benny and it took him 2hrs to catch up that would be a total of 5hrz driving for Dan because the problem never said he stopped driving. So you took the 158mi total traveled by Benny to catch up and divided it by 3 but in actuality it should have been divided by 5 and would have been 31.6mph. RIGHT?!
Danielle Galer thank you my brother and I have been trying to figure this out all day and keep coming up with 31.6mph
Danielle Galer the equation is 5X = (79 + X) *2 solve for X where X is 52.67 MPH. If Benny is 79 mph faster than Dan, that implies he travels 79 more miles per hour than Dan, so Benny’s speed is 79 + X.
Kim and i have the same version of hell!
You got your looks going for you...lol
Kim is so me in math
