Some of the questions aren't 5th grade level

When I was in the 5th grade 10 years ago, we didn't learn anything about integers. In fact, I went to my old elementary school and looked in the textbooks I used when I was in the 5th grade and it didn't say anything about integers and things like that. We didn't learn integers 'til 7th grade. I think this show should have questions that we learned when we were in the 5th grade. Not all of the questions they ask are 5th grade level or below. Some are junior high level questions.

People, every school in my school district keep at least 1 book of every subject from every grade level in an archived area aka large storage room. They do that to reminisce the past. It wasn't our fault that integers weren't put in the textbooks. It was the publishers/authors of Addison Wesley. Elementary school ends at 5th grade, so after that we began to learn integers. I don't know why they did it that way in the past but that happened. Anyway, my point of saying that was to show a point that some of these questions aren't 5th grade level. You have to look beyond my example because not EVERY school system learn the same exact things at the same level.

That's BS. Schools do not keep old textbooks.

Yes, we know what an integer is... most of us do anyway... it is just that in grade school, they are only referred to as "whole numbers"...
