24 Challenge

Hi! Take the 24 challenge. I have four numbers add, subtract, multiply, or divide them to get to 24. The four numbers are 2, 2, 7, and 1. Hit comment and type your solution.

Create a game using our frequent words!

Did you know that only 100 words make up 50% of the words used in school and college texts? Those words are called irregular words or frequent words. These are the words you have seen posted around the school.

I would like to see if you can create a game that uses these words. One requirement - You must write directions that explain your game. It could be a board game or a card game. It's up to you! Be creative. See me if you need any supplies for your game.

The first 20 words are:
