Practice Material (Grades 1–6)
Straightedge - ANS✔✔ Draws straight lines
Protractor - ANS✔✔ A tool used to measure angles
An activity that will help kindergarten students understand the concept of negative numbers? -
ANS✔✔ Use a thermometer to illustrate extreme temperatures recorded at the South Pole
Number Sense - ANS✔✔ The understanding of what numbers mean and how they are related
Rounding down - ANS✔✔ Rounding to an equal or a lower value.
Mode - ANS✔✔ the most frequently occurring score(s) in a distribution/Number that shows up
the most
Median - ANS✔✔ the middle score in a distribution; half the scores are above it and half are
below it
Mean - ANS✔✔ average
Range - ANS✔✔ the difference between the highest and lowest scores in a distribution
Fraction-percent equivalents - ANS✔✔ 1/8 = 20%, 2/5 = 30%, 3/8 = 40%, 4/8 = 50%
What is 25% of 4 - ANS✔✔ .25 x 4 = 1

apples.
elapsed time - ANS✔✔ the time that has passed since the beginning of an event to its finish
Metric system - ANS✔✔ The decimal measuring system based on the meter, liter, and gram as
