Welcome to Ms. Birdsall's classroom blog. We are a Grade 4 class in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.
We hope that you will enjoy seeing what is happening in our classroom.
I won't tell Ms Birdsall but I know the answer to this riddle. I am very impressed with the questions that your grade four students are asking you. You have some very good thinking going on in your classroom. You must be so proud. Ms. Lirenman
was it beacause that the shop owner was one of the sons and he took three dollars from the son and the adults, and the shop owner, which is one of the sons, donated his dollar for poor people?
Is it because one of the sons is a baby so then the shop owner gives them 1.00 free for the baby?
ReplyDeleteNo, neither of the sons is a baby.
DeleteWas it because one if you buy three things you get the last one free???
ReplyDeletePawan
Good thinking, but no it was not a "buy three, get one free" deal.
DeleteWere the sons adults???
ReplyDeletePawan
Yes! You're on the right track. :-)
DeleteMayby because one of the sons woked at the shop and got the last item for free.
ReplyDeleteNo, nothing was given for free.
DeleteWas it because that one of the sons worked at the store???
DeletePawan :) :)
No, none of the sons worked in the store.
Deletedid the fathers get charged 1 Dollar each and the sons got charged 50 cents each?????
ReplyDeletePawan's Brother

ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the great thinking too! You're right I am very proud of my students. :-)
Deleteis it beacase one adult was a old man and he fainted after he went in the store?
ReplyDeletelangson
No, no one fainted.
Deletewas it beacause that the shop owner was one of the sons and he took three dollars from the son and the adults, and the shop owner, which is one of the sons, donated his dollar for poor people?
ReplyDeletelangson
No, but this is a very interesting guess!
DeleteCause it's a grandfather his son and the sons son!

You're right, Nathan, excellent work! There were only three people, so when they paid $1 each, it was $3 total.
