RIDDLE FRIDAY!!!
Hello Students! I'm glad you are here. Take a moment to read today's "bellwork" on the home tab, have a few thoughts, and proceed accordingly. Next, you may have time to read over other posts or peruse the recent news I've included. Soon I will be posting class-specific topics for consideration. As I have some things to complete at the beginning of the period, I ask that you hold all questions until the end of this activity. Enjoy!

Happy Riddle Friday!
You have a barrel of oil, and you need to measure out four gallons. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?
Assume you have an unlimited supply of oil and that there are no measurement markings of any kind on the containers.
