Problem of the Week - Lower Elementary - March 21, 2021 to March 27, 2021

Lower Elementary: 

Question: Did you know that goldfish memories last for 180 days and that they can recognize faces? If Mrs. Olson sends her 1st grade class's goldfish to live with one of her students for the summer, will it recognize her 3 months later when the student brings it back to school? 

Answer: Yes

Solution: A month is about 30 days. So, 3 months is about 30 + 30 + 30 = 90 days. Since 90 days is less than 180 days, the goldfish will still recognize Mrs. Olson.
