How many fraction-percent equivalents are listed in the worksheet represented above?
One
Two
Three
Four - ✔✔Option (B) is correct. The question requires an understanding of ways to help
students develop a knowledge of fractions as numbers. 1/8 is equivalent to 12.5%; 2/5
is equivalent to 40%; 3/8 is equivalent to 37.5%; 4/5 is equivalent to 80%; and 5/8 is

,Students in a fourth-grade class are learning how to copy line segments and angles from
their textbook onto a piece of paper. Which of the following tools is appropriate for the
activity?
Select all that apply.
A protractor
A straightedge
A geoboard
A compass - ✔✔The correct answers are (A), (B), and (D). The question requires an
understanding of how to draw and identify lines and angles. A geoboard is useful for
illustrating concepts such as area and perimeter but is not useful for measuring angles.
A compass, a protractor, and a straightedge will be useful for the activity.
Which of the following activities will best help kindergarten students understand the
concept of negative numbers?
Watching a needle on a dial that shows how fast a wheel is turning
Using a thermometer to illustrate extreme temperatures recorded at the South Pole
Moving the hands of a clock back an hour at the beginning of daylight saving time

,Placing money from a change purse into a piggy bank - ✔✔Option (B) is correct. The
question requires an understanding of how to help students make sense of numbers.
Kindergarten students need a concrete model when first learning an abstract concept.
From the choices provided, a thermometer showing temperatures above and below
zero will best provide them with an appropriate model to learn about negative
numbers.

Red ?
The circle graph above shows the distribution, in percents, of various colors of gems in
a collection. What fraction of the collection is red? - ✔✔Option (A) is correct. The
question requires an understanding of how to solve problems involving fractions. A
circle graph of percents represents 100% of a group. Based on the information provided,
the total percent of red gems is 4%, which is equivalent to 2/50.

, The Evergreen Shoe Factory received an order for 100 pairs of shoes. The factory ships
shoes in cartons that each holds up to 12 pairs. How many cartons will the factory need
to ship this order?
Most of the fourth graders who worked on the problem above gave answers such as 8
R4, 8.333, and 8 1/3 . These responses suggest that the students need practice in
rounding down
expressing remainders
applying number sense
using fractions rather than decimals - ✔✔Option (C) is correct. The question requires an
understanding of equations and number operations. The responses indicate that the
students do not know how to express a reasonable answer. Since the shoes are shipped
in cartons, the number of cartons should be expressed as a whole number and not in
decimals, fractions, or with a remainder.
Second-grade students are using a calculator to total the number of books in their
classroom library. At one point, they mistakenly subtract 12 instead of adding 12. The
calculator display shows a total of 57. What one operation can they do to correct the
mistake?
