The Wisdom Stand
Usually, when you see a purple stand on a sidewalk, you expect to buy lemonade. But at the "Grandma Stand," you don't get a drinkâyou get a big dose of wisdom! Inspired by Eileen, a legendary grandmother who lived to be 102 years old, these stands are staffed by volunteer grandmas ready to listen to your problems. They might even ask you something deep, like "What made you cry today?" It is the only stand in the world where the advice is free, but the connections are priceless! Learn more!
Wee Ones
Imagine you are sitting at the bright purple stand. If you tell Grandma 2 funny stories and then you tell her 1 more story, how many stories did you tell her in total?
Little Kids
There are 5 people waiting in a line to talk to Grandma. If she has already talked to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person, which person in the line is next?
Big Kids
Grandma spoke to five children this afternoon. Their ages were 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 years old. If you line up these numbers from smallest to largest, what is the "median" (the middle number) of their ages?
The Sky's the Limit
Each morning, Grandma spends 10 minutes setting up her stand. Then, she spends exactly 15 minutes talking to every visitor (V). We can find her total minutes with the formula: Time = 10 + 15V. If she has 4 visitors one morning, how many total minutes did she spend at her stand?
