Answer key for parents & teachers (39 questions)
  1. The minute hand points to 7 and the hour hand is just past 2. What time is it? — 2:35. Minute hand at 7 = 7 × 5 = 35 minutes. Hour just past 2 = 2. Time: 2:35!
  2. How many minutes are in one full hour? — 60. One hour = 60 minutes. The minute hand takes 60 minutes to go all the way around!
  3. Each number on the clock face represents how many minutes? — 5 minutes. Each number on the clock = 5 minutes. 12 numbers × 5 minutes = 60 minutes total!
  4. What is "quarter past" an hour? — 15 minutes after. "Quarter past" = 15 minutes after the hour. The minute hand is at the 3!
  5. What is "half past" an hour? — 30 minutes after. "Half past" = 30 minutes after the hour. The minute hand is at the 6!
  6. The minute hand is at 3. How many minutes is that? — 15. Each number = 5 minutes. 3 × 5 = 15 minutes!
  7. The minute hand is at 9. How many minutes is that? — 45. 9 × 5 = 45 minutes!
  8. True or False: "Quarter past 5" is written as 5:15. — True. True! Quarter past 5 = 15 minutes after 5 = 5:15!
  9. What is the minute hand's position at 3:00? — At the 12. At exactly 3:00, the minute hand points straight up to 12!
  10. A pitcher holds 2 liters. You pour out 750 mL. How much is left? — 1,250 mL. 2 L = 2,000 mL. 2,000 − 750 = 1,250 mL!
  11. What unit is used to measure MASS of small objects? — Grams. Grams (g) are used to measure the mass of small objects!
  12. What unit is used to measure LARGE masses? — Kilograms. Kilograms (kg) are used for large masses. 1 kg = 1,000 g!
  13. What unit is used to measure SMALL liquid volumes? — Milliliters. Milliliters (mL) measure small liquid volumes. A teaspoon is about 5 mL!
  14. What unit is used to measure LARGE liquid volumes? — Liters. Liters (L) measure large liquid volumes. 1 L = 1,000 mL!
  15. How many grams are in 1 kilogram? — 1,000. 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams!
  16. How many milliliters are in 1 liter? — 1,000. 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters!
  17. A large apple has a mass of about ___ — 200 grams. A large apple has a mass of about 200 grams!
  18. A glass of water holds about ___ — 250 mL. A glass of water holds about 250 mL!
  19. A spoonful of medicine is about ___ — 5 mL. A teaspoon (medicine dose) is about 5 mL!
  20. Which measurement tells you how much liquid a container CAN HOLD? — Liquid volume (capacity). Liquid volume (capacity) tells us how much liquid a container holds!
  21. Which measurement tells you how much MATTER is in an object? — Mass. MASS measures how much matter is in an object, measured in grams or kilograms!
  22. What is the perimeter of a rectangle 7 cm long and 3 cm wide? — 20 cm. P = 7+3+7+3 = 20 cm. Add all four sides!
  23. What is the area of a rectangle 7 cm long and 3 cm wide? — 21 cm². A = 7 × 3 = 21 cm². Area = length × width!
  24. Perimeter measures the ___ of a shape. — Outside distance. Perimeter is the total distance around the OUTSIDE edge of a shape!
  25. Area measures the ___ of a shape. — Space inside. Area measures the surface INSIDE a shape — how many square units fit inside!
  26. A square has sides of 5 cm. What is its perimeter? — 20 cm. Square: all 4 sides equal. P = 5+5+5+5 = 20 cm!
  27. A square has sides of 5 cm. What is its area? — 25 cm². A = 5 × 5 = 25 cm²!
  28. What units are used for area? — cm² (square centimeters). Area uses SQUARE units like cm² because it measures a 2D surface!
  29. A garden is 8 m long and 5 m wide. What is its perimeter? — 26 m. P = 8+5+8+5 = 26 m. Or: P = 2×(8+5) = 2×13 = 26 m!
  30. A garden is 8 m long and 5 m wide. What is its area? — 40 m². A = 8 × 5 = 40 m²!
  31. Count the unit squares: a 4×5 grid. What is the area? — 20 sq units. 4 rows × 5 columns = 20 unit squares. Area = 20 sq units!
  32. What is the formula for area of a rectangle? — A = l × w. A = l × w. Multiply length by width!
  33. In a picture graph, each symbol represents 2 apples. A row shows 4 symbols. How many apples does that row represent? — 8. 4 symbols × 2 apples each = 8 apples.
  34. A bar graph shows: Red=5, Blue=8, Green=3. How many items were counted in total? — 16. 5 + 8 + 3 = 16 total items.
  35. Which graph type uses symbols or pictures to represent data? — Picture graph. A picture graph (also called pictograph) uses symbols to represent data values.
  36. A line plot shows X marks above numbers on a number line. Each X represents one item. What does the number with the most X marks tell you? — The most common value. The number with the most X marks appears most often — it is the mode (most common value).
  37. A bar graph has bars for Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu. Wednesday's bar is the tallest. What does that tell you? — Wednesday had the most data. The tallest bar represents the greatest value, so Wednesday had the most data.
  38. In a picture graph, each 🌟 = 5 students. A row shows 3 stars. How many students does it represent? — 15. 3 stars × 5 students each = 15 students.
  39. A bar graph shows rainfall: Jan=8 cm, Feb=5 cm, Mar=12 cm, Apr=10 cm. Which month had the least rainfall? — February. February had only 5 cm, which is the smallest value on the bar graph.
