c. The teacher should explain that the answer is 3 r2 plates; the r represents the
remainder, or "leftovers"
d. The teacher should explain that the answer is 4 plates because in real-life problems,
the answers don't always come out evenly and the 2 leftover cookies will still need to be
placed on a plate - ANS-d. The teacher should explain that the answer is 4 plates
because in real-life problems, the answers don't always come out evenly and the 2

According to the text, which of the following are goals for instruction when we consider
fraction operations? (Mark all that apply.)
a. Children need to be able to understand the reasonableness of results to fraction
computation problems
b. Children need to be able to find exact answers to computation problems
c. Children need to find the answers to fraction computations using model
d. Children need to know how to find common denominators - ANS-a, b, and c
After students complete a set of problems, teachers should
