Answer key for parents & teachers (33 questions)
  1. What is "quarter to" an hour?45 minutes after the previous hour. "Quarter to" = 45 minutes after the current hour = 15 minutes BEFORE the next hour!
  2. The minute hand is between 4 and 5, closer to 5, with 2 ticks past 4. What are the minutes?22. 4 × 5 = 20 (at the 4), then 2 more ticks = 22 minutes!
  3. The clock shows 4:23. Where is the minute hand?Between 4 and 5, 3 ticks past 4. 23 minutes: 4 × 5 = 20 (at the 4), then 3 more ticks = 23. Minute hand is 3 ticks past the 4!
  4. What is 15 minutes before 3:00?2:45. 3:00 minus 15 minutes = 2:45 (quarter to three)!
  5. What time is 25 minutes after 7:00?7:25. 7:00 + 25 minutes = 7:25!
  6. The minute hand moved from 12 to 9. How many minutes passed?45. From 12 to 9 is 9 numbers × 5 minutes = 45 minutes!
  7. Express 3:45 using "quarter to."Quarter to 4. 3:45 is 15 minutes before 4:00 — quarter to four!
  8. What time is shown when the hour hand is between 7 and 8, and the minute hand is at 6?7:30. Hour hand between 7 and 8 + minute hand at 6 (= 30 min) = 7:30!
  9. A textbook has a mass of about ___500 g. A textbook has a mass of about 500 grams!
  10. Two bags weigh 340 g and 280 g. What is their combined mass?620 g. 340 + 280 = 620 g!
  11. A bottle holds 1.5 L. You drink 600 mL. How much is left in mL?900 mL. 1.5 L = 1,500 mL. 1,500 − 600 = 900 mL remaining!
  12. A bag of flour weighs 2 kg. You use 750 g. How much flour is left in grams?1,250 g. 2 kg = 2,000 g. 2,000 − 750 = 1,250 g!
  13. True or False: 3,000 g is the same as 3 kg.True. True! 3,000 g ÷ 1,000 = 3 kg. 1 kg = 1,000 g!
  14. A bicycle weighs about ___10 kg. A bicycle weighs about 10 kg — a lot heavier than a textbook but lighter than a person!
  15. A fish tank holds about ___20 L. A typical fish tank holds about 20 liters!
  16. A rectangle has perimeter 18 cm and length 6 cm. What is its width?3 cm. 18 = 2×(6+w) → 9 = 6+w → w = 3 cm!
  17. Which has a greater area: a 3×6 rectangle or a 4×5 rectangle?4×5 (20 sq units). 3×6 = 18; 4×5 = 20. The 4×5 rectangle has a greater area!
  18. A square room has perimeter 24 m. What are the side lengths?6 m. 24 ÷ 4 sides = 6 m per side!
  19. A square room has perimeter 24 m. What is its area?36 m². Side = 6 m. A = 6×6 = 36 m²!
  20. What is the formula for perimeter of a rectangle?P = 2(l + w). P = 2(l + w). Add length and width, then double it (2 of each)!
  21. A rectangle has area 36 cm² and length 9 cm. What is its width?4 cm. A = l × w → 36 = 9 × w → w = 36 ÷ 9 = 4 cm!
  22. Which statement is TRUE?Area uses square units. Area uses SQUARE units (cm², m²). Perimeter uses regular units (cm, m)!
  23. Estimate the area of your classroom if it is about 9 m × 7 m.63 m². 9 × 7 = 63 m²!
  24. What is the range of a data set on a line plot?The difference between greatest and least values. Range = greatest value − least value. It tells you how spread out the data is.
  25. A bar graph shows: Cats=6, Dogs=9, Birds=3, Fish=7. How many MORE dogs than birds are there?6. 9 dogs − 3 birds = 6 more dogs than birds.
  26. On a line plot, pencil lengths in inches are marked. The X marks appear at: 4(1), 5(2), 6(1), 7(3), 8(1). What is the most common length?7 inches. 7 inches has 3 X marks — the most of any length — so 7 inches is the most common.
  27. A picture graph uses half-symbols (½ 📚) for 0.5 books. A row shows 2½ symbols, and each symbol = 4 books. How many books does that row represent?10. 2½ × 4 = 10 books. A half-symbol represents half the scale value.
  28. A bar graph shows favorite sports: Soccer=12, Basketball=8, Baseball=6, Swimming=4. What fraction of students chose Soccer?12/30. Total = 12+8+6+4 = 30. Soccer fraction = 12/30 = 2/5.
  29. A bar graph uses a scale where each unit = 2. A bar reaches the number 7 on the scale. What is the actual value?14. 7 units × 2 per unit = 14. Always multiply the bar height by the scale value.
  30. Students collected data on pencil lengths (inches): 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8. On a line plot, how many X marks would appear above the number 7?3. The value 7 appears 3 times in the data, so there would be 3 X marks above 7.
  31. A bar graph shows books read per week: Week 1=10, Week 2=15, Week 3=8, Week 4=12. What is the total number of books read over 4 weeks?45. 10 + 15 + 8 + 12 = 45 books total.
  32. Looking at a bar graph, which axis usually shows categories (like subjects or months)?The horizontal axis (x-axis). In a typical bar graph, categories are shown along the horizontal (x) axis, and values are shown on the vertical (y) axis.
  33. A line plot shows frog jump distances (feet): 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5. What is the range?3. Range = greatest − least = 5 − 2 = 3 feet.
