1. QuestionMultiple choice

A pictograph shows 4 books for each star. A shelf has 5 stars. How many books does it show?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 20 books.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks you to add, subtract, multiply, divide, measure, compare, or interpret data.
  2. Use the quantities: Each of the 5 stars represents 4 books, so 5 × 4 = 20 books.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer makes sense in the situation.

Each of the 5 stars represents 4 books, so 5 × 4 = 20 books.

  2. Use the quantities: Bananas has 9 votes, the greatest number shown.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer makes sense in the situation.

Bananas has 9 votes, the greatest number shown.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the total of the data values 3, 5, 4, and 8?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 20.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks you to add, subtract, multiply, divide, measure, compare, or interpret data.
  2. Use the quantities: Add the values: 3 + 5 + 4 + 8 = 20.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer makes sense in the situation.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A table shows 12 students chose soccer and 7 chose tennis. How many more students chose soccer?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 5 students.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks you to add, subtract, multiply, divide, measure, compare, or interpret data.
  2. Use the quantities: Subtract 7 from 12: 12 − 7 = 5 students.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer makes sense in the situation.

Subtract 7 from 12: 12 − 7 = 5 students.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A bag has 3 red cubes and 1 blue cube. Which color is more likely to be chosen?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Red.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks you to add, subtract, multiply, divide, measure, compare, or interpret data.
  2. Use the quantities: There are more red cubes, so red has the greater chance of being chosen.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer makes sense in the situation.

There are more red cubes, so red has the greater chance of being chosen.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A spinner has 4 equal sections: one red, one blue, and two green. What is the probability of green?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 2/4.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks you to add, subtract, multiply, divide, measure, compare, or interpret data.
  2. Use the quantities: Two of the four equal sections are green, so the probability is 2/4.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer makes sense in the situation.

Two of the four equal sections are green, so the probability is 2/4.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

The temperatures for four days are 68, 72, 70, and 72 degrees. What is the most common temperature?
