Answer key for parents & teachers (25 questions)
  1. An angle that is smaller than a right angle is called: โ€” An acute angle. An acute angle is smaller than 90ยฐ. Obtuse is larger than 90ยฐ. Right angle is exactly 90ยฐ.
  2. How many faces does a pyramid with a square base have? โ€” 5. A square pyramid has 1 square base + 4 triangular faces = 5 faces total.
  3. A cylinder has how many faces in total (counting curved surfaces)? โ€” 2 flat + 1 curved = 3. A cylinder has 2 circular flat faces (top and bottom) + 1 curved surface wrapping around.
  4. What angle is formed by the hands of a clock at 3:00? โ€” Right angle (90ยฐ). At 3:00, the minute hand points to 12 and hour hand to 3 โ€” they form a perfect right angle (90ยฐ).
  5. A shape has 8 sides and 8 angles. What is it called? โ€” Octagon. Octagon = 8 sides and 8 angles. Octo means eight.
  6. Which 3D shape has triangular faces only (all faces are triangles)? โ€” Triangular pyramid (tetrahedron). A triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) has 4 triangular faces โ€” every face is a triangle.
  7. Look at a triangle. Its 3 angles together always add up to: โ€” 180ยฐ. The three interior angles of any triangle always add up to exactly 180ยฐ.
  8. How many EDGES does a cube have? โ€” 12. A cube has 12 edges (the line segments where two faces meet). It has 6 faces and 8 vertices.
  9. Shapes are classified by their angles and number of sides because: โ€” It gives each shape a unique description we can use to identify it. Counting sides and describing angles gives each shape a precise, unique description โ€” helping us identify and communicate about shapes accurately.
  10. A rectangle has 4 right angles. A rhombus has 4 equal sides. A shape with BOTH properties is a: โ€” Square. A square has both 4 equal sides AND 4 right angles โ€” it satisfies both conditions.
  11. A shape has 4 sides but NOT all right angles. It could be: โ€” A rhombus. A rhombus has 4 equal sides but its angles are not necessarily 90ยฐ. It is a quadrilateral without all right angles.
  12. An array has 5 columns and 6 rows. If you write repeated addition using columns, which expression is correct? โ€” 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5. Using columns (5) once per row (6 rows): 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 30.
  13. A parking lot has 8 rows of 10 spaces. How many spaces? โ€” 80. 8 ร— 10 = 80 spaces.
  14. An array has 36 squares. If there are 9 rows, how many columns? โ€” 4. 36 รท 9 = 4. Each row has 4 squares.
  15. Which array has MORE total squares: 4 ร— 9 or 5 ร— 7? โ€” 4 ร— 9 = 36 (more). 4ร—9=36; 5ร—7=35. 36 > 35, so 4ร—9 has one more square.
  16. An array is used to show repeated addition. If the addition is 7 + 7 + 7, what is the array? โ€” 3 rows ร— 7 cols. Adding 7 three times = 3 rows of 7 columns each: 3 ร— 7 array.
  17. A classroom has 6 rows of 5 desks. The teacher adds one more desk to each row. How many desks now? โ€” 36. Now 6 rows of 6 desks: 6 ร— 6 = 36 desks.
  18. A box of crayons has 4 rows of 8. A second box has 8 rows of 4. Together, how many crayons? โ€” 64. Each box: 4ร—8=32. Together: 32+32=64 crayons.
  19. A shape is divided into 4 parts but the parts are NOT all equal. The shaded part is: โ€” NOT 1/4 because the parts are unequal. For a fraction to be correct, ALL parts must be EQUAL. Unequal parts cannot be named with a unit fraction.
  20. Which list is in order from SMALLEST to LARGEST fraction? โ€” 1/4, 1/3, 1/2. 1/4 < 1/3 < 1/2. More equal parts = smaller each piece. Fourths are smallest, halves are largest.
  21. You and 1 friend split a granola bar equally. Each person gets 1/2. If you split the SAME bar with 3 friends instead, each person gets: โ€” Less than 1/2. Splitting with 3 friends means 4 equal pieces = 1/4. One-fourth is LESS than one-half.
  22. Two-thirds (2/3) means: โ€” 2 equal parts out of a total of 3 equal parts. 2/3 = 2 parts out of 3 total equal parts. The top number counts parts, the bottom names the size.
  23. If 1/4 of a garden is planted with tomatoes and 1/4 is planted with carrots, what fraction is planted total? โ€” 2/4. 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4. Adding fractions with the same denominator: add the top numbers, keep the bottom.
  24. A strip of paper is folded to show fourths. Which of these correctly shows 3/4? โ€” 3 out of 4 equal sections highlighted. 3/4 = 3 of the 4 equal parts. The top number (3) tells you how many parts to shade.
  25. Why must all parts be equal when naming a fraction? โ€” Because the size of a fraction depends on all parts being the same size. A fraction like 1/3 means one of THREE EQUAL pieces. If pieces are unequal, the fraction name does not accurately describe the part.
