Logan
earns $0.25 for each pen he sells.
Which expression describes the total amount
of money Logan earns for selling p pens?
A.
0.25 X p
B. 0.25 – p
C. 0.25 + p
D. 0.25 = p
Algebra
The
answer is A. If Logan sold 10
pens, that would be 10 X $0.25 which
would equal $2.50.

Geometry
What
is the name of a 7 sided
polygon?
A. nonagon
B. pentagon
C. hexagon
D. heptagon
Geometry
The
answer is D. heptagon. Nona
means 9, hexa means 6, penta means
5, and hepta means 7. Gon refers to
sides. Poly means many. So, a polygon
is a many sided figure and a heptagon
is a 7 sided figure.

Meg
Measurement
has 4 oz. of blue paint, 2.5 oz. of
yellow paint, 3 oz. of green paint, and
1 ½ oz. of orange paint. What is the
total number of oz. of paint?
A. 10.5
B. 10 ½
C. 15 ½
D. 11
Measurement
The
answer is D. 11 oz. If you add
the whole numbers first you get 4 + 3
+ 2 + 1 = 10. Then .5 and ½ are both
halves. Two halves make 1 whole. So,
10 + 1 = 11.

Data Analysis
 What is the mean of this data set ?
( 15, 17, 15, 15, 14, 12, 18, 15, 13,16, 11, 19)

16
None of the above.
Data Analysis
The
answer is A. 15. If we add up all
the numbers we get 180. Then, if we
divide 180 by 12, we get 15. What
other central tendencies are 15?

What
A.
18
B. 2
C. -2
D. 0
does 2( 3 – 5) + 2 equal?
Numbers and Operations
According to PEMDAS, we have to
do the ( 3 – 5) first, and that equals
-2. Then we have to multiply 2 ( -2),
which is -4. Finally, we need to add 2.
Our answer is C. -2.

Graphing
What
quadrant has both a positive X
and a positive Y value?
A. I
B. II
C. III
D. IV
Graphing
The
answer is A.I quadrant. When
creating a graph the X and Y axis
create 4 quadrant that use Roman
numerals and are counted in a counter
clockwise manner.

A square with a length measurement
of 7 inches has a perimeter of

A.
14 inches
B. 49 inches
C. 28 inches
D. 2 feet
Perimeter
The
answer is C. 28 inches. A square
has 4 equal side lengths and
7+7+7+7= 28

Mrs.
Probability
Schies is starting a puzzle. The
puzzle has 15 red, 12 blue, 10 yellow, 7
orange, and 6 green pieces. What is the
probability that Mrs. Schies will randomly
select a green?
A. 1/50
B. 3/25
C. 3/22
D. 1/5
Probability
The
answer is B. 3/25 because there
are 6 chances of getting a green out
of 50 total puzzle pieces, and 6/50
can be reduced or simplified to 3/25.

Fractions
What
is the least common
denominator of 5/8 and 5/6?
A. 2
B. 14
C. 24
D. 48
Fractions
The
answer is C. 24 because when I
write my times tables out, the first
number that 8 and 6 share is 24.

B. 16 and 1/3
C. 16 and 2/3
D. 17 and 1/3
Patterns
The
answer is B 16 and 1/3. Each
value in the pattern was increasing by
2 and 1/3.

Million Dollar Question
1,000,000 Question
Mr.
Sohonyay is making cookies. If
his recipe calls for 2 and 1/3 cups of
flour and he only has a container that
holds 1/3 of a cup. How many times
will he have to fill the container with
flour?
1,000,000 Answer
 The answer is 7. In 3 scoops Mr.
Sohonyay would have made 1 cup of flour,
so with 6 scoops Mr. Sohonyay would have
2 full cups of flour. Then he only needs 1
more scoop to make the 1/3 portion, for a
total of 7 full scoops.
