Freebie 2: Terminology Teaser

The terminology teaser poses 10 math questions that you must answer.  As you go through, the program will automatically tell you whether you are wrong or right.  

You will need a calculator, pencil, and possibly paper and an eraser to calculate the answers. It will likely require 10 minutes of undisturbed time to complete this exercise.  If you get one or more incorrect, write down the problem number so that you can quickly access the answer at the end of this freebie.
