Estimation and invented strategies are important with division of fractions. If you posed the problem (1/6) ÷ 4 you would ask all of the questions EXCEPT: A) Will the answer be greater than 4? B) Will the answer be greater than one? C) Will the answer be greater than 1/2? D) Will the answer be greater than 1/6?

Answer: A) Will the answer be greater than 4?

What statement is true about adding and subtracting with unlike denominators? A) Should be introduced at first with tasks that require both fractions to be changed. B) Is sometimes possible for students, especially if they have a good conceptual understanding of the relationships between certain fractional parts and a visual tool, such as a number line. C) Is a concept understood especially well by students if the teacher compares different denominators to "apples and oranges." D) Should initially be introduced without a model or drawing.

Answer: B) Is sometimes possible for students, especially if they have a good conceptual understanding of the relationships between certain fractional parts and a visual tool, such as a number line.

All of the statements below are examples of estimation or invented strategies for adding and subtracting fractions EXCEPT: A) Decide whether fractions are closest to 0, (1/2), or 1. B) Look for ways different fraction parts are related. C) Decide how big the fraction is based on the unit. D) Look for the size of the denominator.

Answer: B) Look for ways different fraction parts are related.

Answer: C) Subdividing the whole number.

Based on students experience with whole number division they think that when dividing by a fraction the answer should be smaller. This would be true for all of the following problems EXCEPT: A) 1/6 ÷ 3 B) 5/6 ÷ 3 C) 3/6 ÷ 3 D) 3 ÷ 5/6

Answer: D) 3 ÷ 5/6

Adding and subtraction fractions should begin with students using prior knowledge of equivalent fractions. Identify the problem that may be more challenging to solve mentally. A) Luke ordered 3 pizzas. But before his guests arrive he got hungry and ate 3/8 of one pizza. What was left for the party? B) Linda ran 1 (1/2) miles on Friday. Saturday she ran 2 (1/8) miles and Sunday 2 (3/4) miles. How many miles did she run over the weekend? C) Lois gathered (3/4) pounds of walnuts and Charles gathered (7/8) pounds. Who gathered the most? How much more? D) Estimate the answer to (12/13) + (7/8)

Answer: D) Estimate the answer to (12/13) + (7/8)
