Types of Questions Math Multiple choice Sample from 3rd grade NYS released questions

Types of Questions Math Short Answer A cargo ship is carrying nine shipping crates. Each crate is equal in mass, and the total mass of all nine crates is 4,707 kilograms. What is the mass, in kilograms, of each crate? Show your work. Sample from 4th grade NYS released questions

Types of Questions Math Extended Response There are 12 players on a new softball team. Before the team starts playing games, the team must pay a total registration fee of $572. Along with the registration fee, the team will also need to spend a total of $1,240 on equipment. To pay for the cost of the registration fee and the equipment, the players held a car wash and raised $786. They then decided to sell candles for $9.50 per candle to cover the remaining costs. If each player sells the same number of candles, how many candles must each player sell? Show your work. Sample from 5th grade NYS released questions

Ways to help your child at home Provide a quiet space for homework. Make sure supplies are available – paper, scissors, glue, crayons, pens, pencils, etc. Set up routines and reinforce good habits. – homework time, reading time, etc. Encourage your child to read to you. Have books and magazines around the house. Visit your local library. Borrow books and magazines in different genres. Be a good listener – ask your child about the activities they are doing at school. Reinforce the skills and concepts your child is learning at school, e.g. math skills through cooking and shopping, writing notes, etc. Give your child as many different experiences as possible – take trips to museums, the zoo, shows, etc.

Test Taking Tips Do not put undue pressure on your child. Make sure they get a good night’s sleep. Make sure they eat breakfast the day of the test. Do not send your child to take the test if they are not feeling well (there are makeup days). Your child should bring three sharpened #2 pencils with erasers, but no “lucky pencils” or “special erasers” as they can be a distractor. Let them know that once the test is over, it is a normal day and the test is just a small part of that day.
