Homework-Free Fridays - Due Thursday, November 9
Every Friday the students in Roberta’s math class who have completed their homework all week long get to play Homework-Free Friday. Roberta has three 10-sided dice, each with the digits 0 through 9. Each eligible student rolls all three dice. If the sum of the three dice is equal to the day's date, the student is excused from homework for the weekend.
