[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last one, now that I have learned to post pictures. These are all from the MD state released items/practice test 3rd grade Math test:

I think it is tricky, for a third grader.  Yes, of course, I think it would be wonderful for all third graders to be able to answer a question like this that shows they are truly able to understand the application of math. Instead of just asking a simple question: "What is the area of this rectangle?"

But - the fact that many students aren't able to answer questions like this doesn't mean they are learning nothing in math. Just that these questions are pretty tricky for them to understand.[/quote]

I don’t know what you’re complaining about with this question. It seems on the easy side for third grade actually. They even give the answers! And they’re all different! If the kid knew the answer as you suggested then they could just choose the right answer. Choosing the right equation without any answers provided might be a slight challenge but still within third grade expectations.[/quote]
