[quote=Anonymous]Heres another example of what I think it a tricky third grade math question: [quote] What is the result when an even number is multiplied by 5? Select from the lists of choices to complete the statement. The result will always be an _________ number, and the digit in the ones place will always be __________.[/quote] If a third grader knows the answer is (even) and (0) I think that shows great math understanding, but if a student fails to say the correct answer, I don't think that means the student has failed third grade math. I think third graders should be required to add and subtract proficiently, and know some basic times tables and fractions. Identify odd and even numbers. Measure accurately using a ruler. We don't need to test them on all this math theory requiring a lot of words.[/quote]
