Judy Ann Brown's 1997 Page


These four groupings correspond roughly to Judy Brown's breakdown, as given in her email message. I don't have a section for making numbers without using all of the digits, because I fear that would rapidly make the list too big.

Here is a list of answers obtained by students from Mr. Boito's 8th grade Algebra 1 class.

If you would like to add to the list or make helpful suggestions, please send me email. My email address is hochberg@dimacs.rutgers.edu. Thanks.
