ILTS 305 (Elementary Education 1-
6)/Questions with Answers
What is the Suzuki method? - -The Suzuki method empathizes memorization
and repeatedly playing the same music. It is based in the theory that kids
learn to speak before they can read.
- What tool is most appropriate for a 4th grade music teacher to assess
students playing ability? - -Providing students with self assessment scoring
rubric.
- What factors should a 4th grade teacher take into account when
qualitatively measuring a text's complexity? - -The literal and inferential
levels of meaning of the text.
- In a phonemic awareness lesson, what question would help students
practice segmenting phonemes? - -How many sounds do you hear in the
word crush?
- A blend (e.g., fr) counts as how many sounds? - -Two
- A digraph (sh) counts as how many sounds? - -One
- What is a VCV word? - -The first syllable ends with a vowel. Se-cond, le-
mon, de-mon.
- What is a CVC word? - -Closes with consanant. Cat, gel, rim, hop, bud.
- What is a diphthong? - -A diphthong is one vowel sound formed by the
combination of two vowel sounds. example: oil, boy, out.
- Which exercise is best for teaching students automaticity when reading
high frequency regular and irregular words? - -Having students engage in
repeated oral reading aloud with a recorded version of a text that includes
targeted words.
- What are regular words? - -Words in which the letters made their most
common sound, such as kin.
- What are irregular words? - -Words in which the letters make their least
common sound, like in the word kind.
- What is word consciousness? - -An awareness of and an interest in words,
their meanings and their power; helps students develop vocabulary.
, - How can a teacher encourage word consciousness? - -Encourage students
to discuss well-chosen language they notice in literature.
- What is close reading? - -Close reading means reading to uncover layers of
meaning that lead to deep comprehension.
- If a 3rd grader is able to read accurately but cannot answer text-specific
questions, what might be causing the problem? - -The students lacks the
necessary vocabulary and academic language.
- What is the method of counting on? - -When a person begins at the value
of one number and counts up the number of units until they get to the
second number.
- How should you set up a problem where you are changing units? - -94
inches 1 foot 1 mile
---------- x ---------- x -----------
1 revolution 12 inches 5,280 feet
- How do you read a box plot? - -A box plot shows a 5 number summary in a
data set. The line of a box plot begins at the minimum value and ends at the
maximum value. The beginning of the box is the 1st quartile and the end of
the box is the 3rd quartile. The line inside the box is the median. The stars
on the outside of the graph are outliers.
- How do you find the missing value in a congruent triangle? - -Set up an
equivalent proportion to find the missing value.
- A square can also be classified as a... - -Rectangle or rhombus.
- What part of a triangle changes if you move the third vertex? - -The
perimeter.
- When balancing, why does it help to bend the knees? - -It lowers the
center of gravity.
- What type of movement helps kids practice dressing, putting on shoes,
reading and writing? - -Crossing the body's midline (passing a ball, making a
figure-8 shape with streamers).
- What strategy would be most helpful for teaching 1st graders catching and
throwing a ball? - -Offering a variety of balls for students to choose from,
including textured or soft, or slightly deflated balls of different weights and
sizes.
, - Activities in weight-bearing such as jumping, skipping or climbing
playground equipment benefits students' growth in what areas? - -By
stimulating calcium uptake and new bone cell information.
- What body system is most effected by vaping? - -The circulatory system,
plaque forms on artery walls and clotting tendency increases, as does the
risk of harmful blood clots.
- What activity would best promote core strength in 1st and 2nd graders? - -
Playground activities, such as sliding down slides, balancing on wobble
boards and crossing monkey bars.
- What strategy is most appropriate for elementary students to use to
prepare the body for moderate to vigorous physical activity and minimize the
risk of injury? - -Engaging in low intensity, large muscle warm up for about 5
minutes just before the activity.
- What scientific tool would be best used in a 6th grade experiment
measuring density? - -Meter stick
- How could a teacher enhance a science experiment (using the scientific
method) where students measure the weight of a block using a lever? - -Ask
students to modify their levers to make lifting the original weight of the block
easier.
- How do you correctly read the volume of a graduated cylinder? - -The
marked increment associated with the lowest point of the curved liquid must
be used. This is known as the bottom of the meniscus.
- What is mechanical energy? - -The total energy of motion and position of
an object.
- What instrument is used to measure mechanical energy? - -A spring scale,
which can be used to measure the force (in newtons) of various objects.
- How many variables should students change at a time when modifying
their science experiments? - -One.
- What is aerobic respiration? - -Occurs in the presence of oxygen so that
glucose is broken down completely to produce energy that is stored in the
form of ATP.
- What is a primary consumer? - -The primary consumer eats the producer.
For example, a mouse (primary consumer) eats wheat (producer).
