Xiao Bai and Xiao Gao probably talked two days ago

Xiao Bai and Xiao Gao planned to eat Chinese food and then go to a foreign movie tonight. 

Xiao Bai went home after writing this email.  

Question 1 On which day of the week does the conversation take place?

Draw a bar model for the following problem and then explain your drawing in detail.  Be sure to include mention of where you placed each of the numbers in the problem, how many bars you used, how you scaled them, where you put the question mark, and what your answer statement was. Marcus bought a sweater with 2/5 of his money.  Then he bought a jacket which cost $5 more than the sweater.  He spent $105 altogether.  How much money did he have left?

Select the reasoning that best justifies the value of p in the equation below by reasoning about the equation in its entirety without changing the value of either side of the equation.

You are doing a number talk with your first graders for 38+16. One student says, “I added the tens first. So, I took thirty and added it to ten to get forty. Then, I needed to add the ones. To make this easier, I took two from the six to give to the eight to make ten and then added on the remaining 4 to get fourteen. Taking forty and fourteen gives fifty-four.” Select the equation string for this approach that connects all of the student’s thinking AND reveals the properties they used in this thinking strategy.

For the following word problem, draw a bar model to help you write a unit solution.  Submit the unit solution here.  You do not need to describe your bar model though you can explain it if that is helpful to you. A racket and 4 birdies cost $13.75.  The racket costs $5.50 more than each birdie.  Find the cost of the racket.

I can see this question and my laptop is Honorlock-ready.
