Q1. A teacher gives students that following mathematics problem. Reading on a school bus are 20 students in first grade, 10 in second grade, 9 in third grade, and 7 in fourth grade. Approximately what percent of the students on the bus are in first grade?

Which of the following student responses best answers the question?

                1. Student A: 26%

                2. Student B: 43%

                3. Student C: 46%

                4. Student D: 73%

Option 2 is the correct answer. Percent refers to how many out of one hundred or, in decimal form, how many hundredths. To find a percent, divide the group 20 by the total 46, and round the decimal to the hundredths place 0.43. This is 43 hundredths, 0r 43/100 or 43%. Students B answered the question correctly. Student A subtracted the number of students 46 on the bus. Student C added together all of the students on the bus. Student D subtracted the total number of students on the bus 46 from 100.

Q2. A fifth grade teacher has provided each student with centimeter grid paper and scissors to explore how some two dimensional shapes can be folded in to three dimensional figures. Which of the following concepts are the students exploring?

                1. Rotations       

                2. Reflections

                3. Nets

                4. Tessellations

Option 3 is the correct answer. A net is a closed plane figure that can be folded into a closed three dimensional figure. A rotation refers to figure turning around a point. A reflection refers to a transformation in which a figure is flipped over a line. In a tessellation a figure or pattern of figure is repeated to cover a flat surface.

Q1. Which of the following correctly states an aspect of effective reflective teaching practice?

1.       Peer coaching should be done sparingly because it can interfere with a coach’s own reflective potential

2.       To remain truly professional, reflective practice should exclude student input that challenges teaching practices

3.       The reflective process should be free of links to conceptual framework that limit inquiry and problem solving

4.       Teacher coaches should create an environment of trust and builds a context for reflection that is unique to every learning situations

Answer: The best answer is 4. Trust is essential to teaching contexts that enhance reflective practice. Option 2 is not the correct answer because, Students input would be useful for teaching practices, but would not promote reflection

Option 3 is not the correct answer because conceptual frameworks do not limit enquiry, rather they focus and provide discipline for the reflective processes. Option 1 is not the correct answer because the collaboration between peers in a coaching situation promotes reflection.

Q2. “Shooting stars” that appear in the night sky are most likely to be

1.       Particles of exploding stars

2.       Comets passing near earth

Q3. The original price of a certain car was 25 percent greater than its cost to the dealer. The actual selling price was 25 percent less than the original price. If m is the cost of the car and s is the selling price, which of the following represents s in terms of m?

1.       S=1.00m

2.       S=1.25m

3.       S=0.25 (0.75m)

4.       S=0.75 (1.25m)

Answer: The correct answer is option 4

The question asks to apply the knowledge of percent increase or decrease to determine selling price based on cost m, in the question the original price of the car was, m+0.25m=1.25m, the selling price was, s=1.25m-0.25(1.25m)=1.25m(1-0.25), which is equal to (1.25m) (0.75)
