Common core

How about when the hw is 1+1 and the test is "two trains are going in opposite directions traveling and the speed of Lauren. If one of them stops for a lunch break at around 12 pm how many cupcakes are needed to but a human soul?"

Common core question: Joe has 250 watermelons and needs 300 how many does he need to buy? Students: why the hell does someone need 300 watermelons?
