7 Kids’ Homework Questions That Leave Adults Scratching Their Heads

Parents often find themselves puzzled by their children’s homework, seeking help from online communities. Some instances include a first-grade English assignment where students had to circle photos with the same ending sound as a fish’s fin, with confusing options like a hamburger bun and a frog. A kindergarten worksheet required naming a picture of a rabbit with bunnies playing, and the correct answer, “pet,” was suggested by a helpful Reddit user.

A Grade 3 math problem asked, “Janell had 15 marbles. She lost some of them. How many does Janell have now?” Users found the question ambiguous and offered creative answers like “Janell lost her marbles.” Another perplexing question for six-year-olds involved a paint splatter and apples, with the task of determining how many apples could be covered by the paint, limiting it to no more than 20.

A Singaporean math problem for first-grade students was shared on Twitter, causing confusion. Another math question on Twitter involved calculating the perimeter of a shape based on the measurements of another rectilinear shape, and a complex problem related to Beethoven’s 9th Symphony prompted sarcastic responses about its relevance.

Parents turned to Reddit and Twitter for assistance, emphasizing the challenges posed by seemingly convoluted homework assignments.
