Example Question #2 : Map 5th Grade Math

Sally drank  of the milk and Sam drank . What fraction of the milk did they drink? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators. 

Now that we have common denominators, we can add the fractions. Remember, when we add fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only add the numerator. 

 can be reduced by dividing  by both sides. 

Example Question #3 : Map 5th Grade Math

Example Question #1 : Numbers And Operations

Round  to the nearest tenth.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When we round a number to the nearest tenth we look to the hundredths place to tell us if we round up or down.

If the number in our hundredths place is  or greater, we round up. If the number in the hundredths place is  or less, we round down. When we round up, the number in the hundredths place increases by  and all the other numbers to the right become . When we round down, the number in the hundredths place stays the same and all the other numbers to the right become .

In this case,  is less than  so our rounded number is  or 

Example Question #2 : Numbers And Operations

Fill in the blank with the correct sign. 

 __________ 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

 __________ 

When we multiply a fraction by a whole number, we first want to make the whole number into a fraction. We do that by putting the whole number over  Then we multiply like normal.

Example Question #3 : Numbers And Operations

What is  in expanded form? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When we write a number in expanded form, we multiply each digit by its place value. 

 is in the ones place, so we multiply by 

 is in the tenths place, so we multiply by 

 is in the hundredths place, so we multiply by .

Then we add the products together. 

Example Question #4 : Map 5th Grade Math

What coordinate point is the green triangle on? 


Screen shot 2015 07 29 at 4.25.25 pm

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the location on a coordinate plane we first look at the -axis, which runs horizontal and then the -axis, which runs vertical. We write the point on the -axis first, followed by the point on the -axis. 

The green triangle is over  on the -axis and up  on the -axis. 

Example Question #5 : Map 5th Grade Math

Starting at the coordinate point shown below, if you move up  and to the right , what is your new point? 

Screen shot 2015 07 30 at 8.51.14 am

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The starting point is at . When we move up or down we are moving along the -axis. When we move to the right or left we are moving along the -axis. 

Moving up the -axis and moving right on the -axis means addition. 

Moving down the -axis and moving left on the axis means subtraction. 

Because we are moving up , we can add  to our  coordinate point and because we are moving to the right  we can add  to our coordinate point. 

Example Question #6 : Map 5th Grade Math

What other shape can a parallelogram be classified as? 

Possible Answers:

Square

Rectangle

Quadrilateral 

Triangle 

Correct answer:

Quadrilateral 

Explanation:

A parallelogram can not be classified as a square because a square has to have  equal sides, but a parallelogram can have two different side lengths, as long as the opposite side lengths are equal. 

A parallelogram can not be classified as a rectangle because a rectangle has to have  angles, and a parallelogram does not. 

A parallelogram can not be classified as a triangle because a parallelogram has to have  sides and a triangle only has  sides. 

A parallelogram has four sides, and all shapes with four sides are quadrilaterals. 

Example Question #1 : Measurement And Data

How many  are in 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can make proportions.

We know that , and we can use  has our unknown. 

Next, we want to cross multiply and divide to isolate the  on one side. 

The  will cancel and we are left with
