Mathematics Grade 3 Unit 4 Post Assessment ANSWER KEY 1. D) Square (1 point) 2. Jessica is correct (1 Point). Student explanations may vary, but students should understand squares are rectangles because rectangles must have 4 right angles, opposite sides parallel and opposite sides are congruent. A square has all of these attributes, therefore a square is a rectangle. A rectangle does not meet all the required attributes of a square; all sides congruent (1 Point). 3. D) 1/8 of the rectangle (1 point) 4. Part A (Partitioning: 1 point for each shape) Part B 1 3 (1 point) 5. Part A: Students should circle and label the rectangle, trapezoid, square, and parallelogram. (correct circling: 4 points; take away a point for each incorrect circled shape; 4 points for labeling the quadrilaterals correctly) Part B: Students could use any two of the following: closed figure, 4 sides, sides are straight, and 4 angles (2 points for naming the two attributes). 6. 5 3 inches(1 point) 4 7. C) (1 point) 8. Part A: A) The number of students who enjoy reading science fiction is half the number of students who like mystery books (1 point). Part B: Student answers may vary (1 point). 9. B) 8 years (1 point) 10. 70 meters (1 point). Students should show work using numbers, words, or pictures (1 point). 11. B) Room B (1 point) 12. Part A: Room A s total area: 7 x 5 = 35 sq. feet (Equation: 1 point; Answer: 1 point) Room B s total area: 7 x 4 = 28 sq. feet (Equation: 1 point; Answer: 1 point) Part B: The difference of the two rooms is 35 28 = 7 sq. feet. (Difference: 1 point) 13. B) 2 ft. by 10ft. (1 point)
