Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Oranges.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: The tallest bar represents 8 students choosing oranges.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

The tallest bar represents 8 students choosing oranges.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A picture graph uses one star to represent 2 books. Four stars represent how many books?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 8 books.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: Four groups of 2 books equal 8 books.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

Four groups of 2 books equal 8 books.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A data set is 2, 4, 4, 5, and 7. What is the mode?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 4.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: The number 4 appears more often than any other number.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

The number 4 appears more often than any other number.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the difference between the greatest and least values in 3, 6, 8, and 10?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 7.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: Subtract the least value from the greatest: 10 − 3 = 7.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

Subtract the least value from the greatest: 10 − 3 = 7.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A pattern starts 4, 8, 12, 16. What is the next number?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 20.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: The pattern adds 4 each time, so 16 + 4 = 20.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

The pattern adds 4 each time, so 16 + 4 = 20.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A table shows 1 square uses 4 sticks, 2 squares use 8 sticks, and 3 squares use 12 sticks. How many sticks do 5 squares use?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 20 sticks.

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

Each square uses 4 sticks, so 5 × 4 = 20 sticks.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A spinner has 4 equal sections: red, blue, green, and yellow. What is the probability of landing on blue?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 1/4.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: One of the four equal sections is blue, so the probability is 1/4.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

One of the four equal sections is blue, so the probability is 1/4.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

The temperatures for four days are 60, 65, 70, and 65 degrees. What is the mean?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 65 degrees.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: The sum is 260, and 260 divided by 4 equals 65.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

The sum is 260, and 260 divided by 4 equals 65.
