A parent has been left baffled by a question from their six-year-old's homework, admitting it has 'severely shaken' their self-esteem - and they're not alone
A parent has been left scratching their head at a puzzling homework question aimed at six-year-olds, which they claim 'doesn't make any sense'.
The worksheet in question, entitled 'Looking for Patterns', challenges kids to find the missing numbers in several equations. The confusing instructions state: "Each board is missing three different numbers: square, pentagon, and triangle. What are the numbers? ". Another chipped in with their simplified approach: "Everyone has overcomplicated this. Every single line has one thing replaced with a number, and conveniently every board has one line with each shape missing. I think this is the pattern six-year-olds are expected to find."
