This
test has 12 math questions for you to answer. For each question there
will be four possible answers labeled a, b, c, and d. Your job is to circle
the letter next to the correct answer. The questions do not ask you to
compute anything, so you should not do any arithmetic. Here's a sample
problem to try. Circle a letter.

Which
numbers are needed to do this problem?

You need to use only 5 and 10 so you should circle letter c. Now try this problem.
|
What
do you need to do for this problem?
|
The correct answer is to subtract 12 from 24 so you should circle d. Now try this.

Which
number sentence is correct?
|
You should circle the letter a. If you multiply the number of apples in each crate (72) by the number of crates (6) times you will find the total number of apples.
Remember that you never have to compute a solution; just answer the question. When I say "START" you should turn the page and begin working on the problems. You will have 15 minutes. If you finish one page go on to the next page. Keep working until I tell you to stop. Check over your answers if you finish early.
