3. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangle is 7 units long and 3 units wide. What is its area?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 21 square units.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: Area equals length times width: 7 × 3 = 21 square units.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

Area equals length times width: 7 × 3 = 21 square units.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the perimeter of a square with side length 5 units?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 20 units.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: A square has four equal sides, so 4 × 5 = 20 units.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

A square has four equal sides, so 4 × 5 = 20 units.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which shape has no straight sides?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Circle.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.

A circle has a curved edge and no straight sides.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A shape is split into 8 equal parts. Three parts are shaded. What fraction is shaded?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 3/8.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: Three of the eight equal parts are shaded, so the fraction is 3/8.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

Three of the eight equal parts are shaded, so the fraction is 3/8.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangle has a perimeter of 18 units. Its length is 5 units. What is its width?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 4 units.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: The perimeter equation is 2(5 + w) = 18, so 5 + w = 9 and w = 4.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

The perimeter equation is 2(5 + w) = 18, so 5 + w = 9 and w = 4.

8. QuestionMultiple choice
