Miss Nine and I had a difference of opinion today regarding a math problem. It involved data on a number line. The question was this - How many pencils are between 2
7/8 and 3
2/8 long? Looking at the number line I deduced that there were ten. Miss Nine insisted that there were three. I figured that we should count the ones that were actually those lengths as well as the ones in between those lengths. She emailed her teacher to see who was right. Miss Nine was correct. I think it was a trick question. I guess I need to go back to 4th grade.
