Hungry?

Sometimes, instead of just giving the students a page number I will give them a math problem to come up with the page themselves. Today in science I told the kids that I was going to give them a math problem.

G., a ninth grader, pipes up and says, "Give us Raman Noodles."

Stunned I just looked and said, "what?"

Again he says, "Give us Raman Noodles."

Confused I say, "G., I don't know what you mean-what do you mean 'Raman Noodles?"

He says, "You know, where you have letter instead of numbers."

The light goes on..."You mean Roman Numerals?"

G. says, "yeah, that's it."

It wasn't even close to lunch yet :-)
