What a question.      Wow! This impossible fast finisher activity will blow my head off! If you think it can't                       be that hard,then read the question: Use the digits 4,5,6 and 7 to create two 3 digit numbers where the sum is between 1,000 and 1,100 and the difference is less than 100. Some strategies I used were to use the small numbers so it can be between 1,000 and 1,100 but also I had to remember that the difference is less than a hundred. So I had to use one small number and one bigger number. Well, if you think you're brainy enough to do it.

Planet Pluto!!

Planet Pluto is the Roman God for the underworld. It is probably two tenths of the planet Earth. It is now the third smallest planet in our solar system. Planet Pluto is an unique planet to observe!!
