MATHEMATICS REVIEWER
FOR 3RD GRADE
NUMBERS AND OPERATION is a common core content. Common core content means it touches K-12 students.
The State expected 3rd grade student to master and understand the concept to express fraction using number line system. Number line or bench mark is good tool to help students visualize the comparison concept of greater than, equal, and less than.
The concept of fraction and number line are very useful especially when comparing two fractions. The concept of probability as express in fraction is a good exposure to prepare the students for more advance mathematics like the concept of probability.
Below are the common benchmark fraction that the student must practice to draw.
ANSWER IS : D - did you get it right? You have a very good understanding of benchmark fraction.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE SHORT CUT, SO YOU DON'T NEED TO DRAW THE BENCHMARK? Here is the short cut. if the numerator is the same for all the choices of answer to select then the fraction close to zero (0) is the one with highest denominator among the given choices of answer. In the above example, all the numerators are one and the highest denominator is 6.
So the correct answer is letter D = 1/6.
