Homework

Derek Scott

Hi Scott! How are you doing today?

Hey Derek! I'm good, thanks. How about you?

Derek Scott

I'm fine, just a little tired. Did you finish the math homework?

Not yet. I started it, but it looks difficult.

Derek Scott

I know. There are ten hard questions. Can I see your notebook?

Sure, here it is. I wrote some notes for question three.

Derek Scott

Thanks. Your notes are clear. Did you understand question five?

A little. You have to add the numbers first, then divide.

Derek Scott

Oh, I see. That makes sense now. What about the English homework?

The English homework is easy. We only need to read a short story.

Derek Scott

Which story did you choose? I picked the one about the cat.

I chose the same story. It is short and fun to read.

Derek Scott

Great. Do you have the science homework too?

Yes, we need to draw a plant and label its parts.

Derek Scott

That sounds interesting. I like drawing the roots and leaves.

Me too. It helps me remember the words easily.

Derek Scott

When is the science homework due? Is it for tomorrow?

No, it is for Friday. We have two more days to finish.

Derek Scott

Good. I want to finish the math today. Can we work together?

Yes, let's work together after lunch. Two heads are better.

Derek Scott

I agree. Do you have a pencil? I forgot my pencil case.

Here, take this extra pencil. You can keep it for the day.

Derek Scott

Thank you so much. Let's start with question one.

Okay. Question one asks us to multiply seven by eight.

Derek Scott

Seven times eight is fifty-six. That was quick.

Yes, we learned that last week. The next one is harder.

Derek Scott

Let me see. Oh, it is a word problem. I need to read slowly.

Take your time. I will read it again too.

Derek Scott

I think the answer is twenty-four. What did you get?

I got twenty-four as well. Great, we agree on that.

Derek Scott

This is going well. How many questions are left now?

We have five questions left. They are on the next page.

Derek Scott

Let's take a short break. I need to drink some water.

Good idea. I will get water too, and then we continue.

Derek Scott

I'm back. Ready for the last part? Let's do question six.

Ready. Question six looks like a fraction problem.

Derek Scott

Fractions are tricky, but we can do it. Half plus one quarter is three quarters.

Right. You are good at this. Our homework is almost complete.

Derek Scott

We finished! Thanks for your help, Scott. It was fun working together.

You're welcome, Derek. Teamwork makes homework easy. See you tomorrow!
