WGU D700 - EARLY MATHEMATICS METHODS AND
INTERVENTIONS UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Question:
1. Which classroom activity aligns with the first-grade Number Sense benchmark stating that students
should be able to understand the value of digits in two-digit numbers (tens and ones)?
Answer:
Students are asked to use place value blocks to demonstrate that 37 is the same as three tens and seven
ones.
Question:
2. An elementary mathematics teacher uses the following benchmarks to develop a lesson activity.
Kindergarten: Solve addition and subtraction problems within 10 First Grade: Solve addition and
subtraction problems within 20 Second Grade: Understand the basics of multiplication Third Grade:
Fluently multiply and divide within 100
In the designed lesson, students use arrays to understand and simplify "three groups of four."
What is the grade level that aligns with this activity?
Answer:
Second grade
Question:
3. Which classroom activity aligns with the first-grade Measurement and Data benchmark stating that
students should be able to organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories?
Answer:
Students use a set of small, medium, and large stickers, organize them, and answer questions about the
number in each category.
Question:
4. What is an appropriate activity for a teacher to use with kindergarten or first-grade students to integrate
math into a science lesson?
Answer:
Students collect leaves and put them in order by size.
Question:
5. What is one strategy for integrating math with science that should be used in second grade or third
grade?
Answer:
Students collect and classify rocks, measuring their sizes and weights.

Question:
12. What can a teacher do to create a math-friendly classroom environment?
Answer:
Ensure that fun math games and puzzles are easily accessible
Question:
13. A teacher has included a literacy center as part of a series of math centers in the classroom.
What describes this center?
Answer:
It develops reading and writing skills through interactive activities, including math-related tasks such as
recognizing numbers, creating graphs, and measuring.
Question:
14. Which activity would occur in a first-, second-, or third-grade literacy center?
Answer:
Creating charts and graphs based on certain elements from the plot of a story
Question:
15. A second-grade teacher has become aware that students are having trouble reading questions that have
real-world scenarios and understanding what is being asked of them.
Which type of graphic organizer should the teacher use?
