Friday Quiz

Rules

There are 13 questions altogether. The first question is a

warm up and worth one point.

The other 12 questions are each worth 2 points

That’s a max of 25 points!

Your best 4 scores will count.

So, if you miss a quiz because you’re at the

dentist, you can still win.

Maximum Score is 100 points.

If you get an answer almost right or half right, teacher will

award one point instead of two points.

For example, suppose the question is:

“Name two of the major planets”

and you wrote “Mars and Pluto.”

Mars is right but Pluto is not.

You would earn 1 point

Don’t worry too much about spelling. If

your answer is right, you’ll get the points

so long as your spelling is close enough.

(Unless of course it’s a spelling question)

We hope that you enjoy the quiz

and that you learn a few things from it.

To do well, it can be helpful to listen to
