An equal combination of language arts and basic math skills, Contrived Math challenges participants to collect common data, such as the number of days in a year, shuffle it around according to instructions, and come up with a targeted answer.

The activity is divided into two parts of twenty problems each. Full answer keys are included. Eight total pages counting the cover page.
