A different Kind of Ferret Math
 
While subbing in a 5th grade class yesterday, I was teaching a Math lesson
about the associative property and multiplication.  There were a few 'word
problems' that the textbook included with the lesson.  One of them read (&
I'm paraphrasing):
 
Jim has 3 ferrets.  Their food costs $15 a twice a month.  How much does he
spend on their food every year?
 
Unfortunately, I ran out of time and didn't get up to that problem.
