Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

I took the final exam on Monday for my Math 20 class. It is basically middle school math. Most of which has escaped my 38 year old mind. I got an A on the final exam and an A in the class. I guess that means I'm as smart as a fifth grader. Here is an example of a problem on the exam: Find the prime factorization of 120 using either repeated division of the Tree Method. There were several questions on finding the area of a figure, finding the volume of a figure and finding the perimeter. All in all I feel more comfortable with using math on a dialy basis and the class was well worth it. I'd like to continue the math in the fall or winter.
