Does anyone have a phenomenal oatmeal cookie recipe?

I used an oatmeal canister to make Matty's Aladdin Fez so I have a lot of oats to use.

Kevin took Alyssa to the high school's Veteran's Day (night ) program, so I need to get the boys to bed.

Noah manages about a four hour stint for the beginning of the evening (progress!), but then he wakes up every couple hours or so (you know, when I go to bed ).

Thinking of you all!

All this veteran talk.....

My dad was a Marine, or should I say IS a Marine. You know....once a Marine, always a Marine. Anyway, he got hooked up in what my mom and I refer to as the Geriatric Brigade, a group of retired Marines that do functions. He's in parades, was at Toys R Us the other day for several hours for their Toys for Tots thing, among others. Here he is in the Veteran's Day Parade today. He's the one in the center with the dark glasses

And just to go down memory lane, here's my high school band from the parade today, along with the dance and drill team, which is what I did way back when.

Can anyone help me with 3rd grade math? Nicholas has to compare the 4 in 934 with the 4 in 647 to find out how 934 and 647 compare. What on earth does this mean? I understand that the first 4 is in the ones place and the second is in the tens, but how do the 2 numbers compare???

Here's another delicious recipe that I made last week:

Chicken Almond Rice Casserole

4 large boneless chicken breasts
1 cup mayo
1 can water chestnuts (optional--I didn't use them)
1 small pack slivered almonds
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup Uncle Ben's Wild Rice (NOT the fast cook)

Cook chicken and dice. Mix with all ingredients, pour into 9x13 casserole dish and cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

This looks awesome! I want to try this when I get home.

Can anyone help me with 3rd grade math? Nicholas has to compare the 4 in 934 with the 4 in 647 to find out how 934 and 647 compare. What on earth does this mean? I understand that the first 4 is in the ones place and the second is in the hundreds, but how do the 2 numbers compare???

It is in the 10's place so the 2nd 4 is 10 times the 1st 4. Does that make sense? The 1st 4 is worth 4 and the 2nd one is worth 40.

Yes, that makes sense. But where I get lost is how do 934 and 647 compare? Is the answer something simple like 934 is greater than 647?

The question you posted had nothing to do with the actual numbers just the 4 in the two numbers. It wouldn't matter if they gave you 47 and 1234. At least that is the way I understand your original question.

 

[Tammi67]

Actually the question is can you compare the 4 in the two numbers to find out how the two numbers compare. So is the answer no, because the 4 is in 2 different places?

You are thinking too deep. I would read that to mean throw out everything except the two 4 values. The 1st one is 4 and the 2nd value is 40. So they compare by the 2nd one being 10 times more than the 1st.

They aren't asking you to compare the two numbers as a whole - just what the 4's represent in the number.

Really? That's how I was interpretting the question. This is exactly how it reads:

Can you compare the 4 in 934 with the 4 in 647 to find out how 934 and 647 compare? Explain.

Ooh, I've had this, it's excellent!

I used an oatmeal canister to make Matty's Aladdin Fez so I have a lot of oats to use.

I had gathered 3 or 4 oatmeal based cookies to consider for "cookie day" this year, I'll let you know if any of them are any good!

ETA: ....But only if I ever get to see pictures of said fez. Rumor has it they're on your computer now.....

Tammi,
Nice pictures...Your Dad & his group look very proud.

Hmm. I was going to say "one is bigger", but it was my smart a$$ answer, not a serious one. The thing is, you can't make that comparison based on where the 4 is. Yes, 40 is bigger than 4, but there is another number in front of the 4 which negates the point of 40 being more.

On the subject of math, how do you find how many possible combinations of 4 digit numbers there are is the digits can not repeat? DS had that one. I told him he needed to ask the teacher.

The answer is NO, because the 4's have different place values.

Ok, that changes my answer. The 4's do not allow you to compare 647 & 934. There is no way to compare the two numbers by the 4's. To compare the two actual numbers, you would need to be looking at whatever numbers are farthest to the left.

I believe that is 10*9*8*7 (or 5040). The ones column can have one of 10 numbers (0-9) which means the 10's can only have 9 (because whichever number you choose can't be repeated), the 100's column can be one of 8 numbers and the 1000's column can be one of 7 numbers. Don't take my word for that but I think that would be the answer.

Eureka! That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure, and that's what he wrote on his paper. Thank you both for the clarification.

I vaguely remembered something like that from statistics but I wasn't sure if that was the correct way to solve it!

EDIT:
I am sure that is how he was supposed to do it. That also means we got the one about "How many combinations of 4 digit numbers are there?" wrong, because I had him do 9999 - 1000 = 8999. He should have done 9*10*10*10 = 9000. Shoot.
