history (veterans day)

Veterans Day was called originally   "Armistice Day" on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War one.

Veterans Day Facts

  • In 1954, President Eisenhower officially changed the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day.
  • In 1968, the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed by Congress, which moved the celebration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. The law went into effect in 1971, but in 1975 President Ford returned Veterans Day to November 11, due to the important historical significance of the date.
  • Britain, France, Australia and Canada also commemorate the veterans of World Wars I and II on or near November 11th: Canada has Remembrance Day, while Britain has Remembrance Sunday (the second Sunday of November). In Europe, Britain and the Commonwealth countries it is common to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. every November 11.

Grade School Math Practice

Practice algebra (grade school):

1 .45 - b = --45

b=

2. 34 + 45 =Z

Z=

3. 56 x G =164

G=

 

Division practice (grade school long division):

key: # = divided by

4. 465 # 63 = 

5. 55 # 11 =

6. 633 # 3 =


Estimate practice (grade school):

(estimate these numbers to get the answer) remember the key # = divided by

7. 7279 # 9845 =

8. 2456 # 666=

9. 745 x 290 =

10. 666 x 244=



hope you enjoyed the practice! comment for subjects to practice (don't forget to add what grade you are in)! if you need to have something explained just comment for that also.
