[trick250r]

relative location and points of reference are trig properties i do believe. my aunt is a 4th grade teacher and has some advanced classes... she sometimes gets me to do some things for her and its crazy what theyre doing. its not like its her either... its all in the curriculm (sp?) its nuts.

This makes the most sense out of any of the possibilities posted.

In order to describe a location that is relative to something else you must first know what that location is relative to.....a point of reference, that's what! :D

[WHITE SEAT]

You need reference to describe a point of a relative location...
Thats what I got....

Had no idea it had to do with math:confused: I didn't take any classes above Algebra 1:ermm:

I like to do Crosswords and Cryptoquips in the newspaper though;)

Its a trick! they know that a 3rd grader cant figure it out and they are testing to see if their parents do the homework for them.

there were 9 others just like that, but that one was the only one he did not get.

My 3rd Grade son ALSO got this assignment and got stuck unscrambling this sentence - if it wasn't because of this thread I would have found the answer!

Here are the other nine in case anyone encounters them at any point ;-)
