Which of the following shapes has been divided into equal parts?
Correct!
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
The correct answers are (A) and (D).
Let's Break This Down Step by Step:
When we divide a shape into equal parts, every piece must be exactly the same size and shape. Think of it like cutting a pizza; if you want fair slices, each piece should be identical, so everyone gets the same amount.
We need to examine each shape and compare all the parts to see if they're the same.
Check Answer A (Triangle)
This triangle has been divided into three smaller triangles. When we look at each small triangle, they all have the same size and shape. They're like three identical puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly.
Check Answer B (L-shaped figure)
This L-shaped figure has two parts, but the left part is much smaller than the right part. They don't match in size, so these are not equal parts.
Check Answer C (Trapezoid) This trapezoid has been divided into three triangular parts, but when we compare them, the left triangle is smaller than the middle one, and the middle one is smaller than the right triangle. They're all different sizes.
Check Answer D (Circle) This circle has been divided into four quarters (like cutting a pie into four slices). Each quarter is exactly the same size and shape; they're identical pieces.
Answer (A) is correct because the triangle is divided into three equal triangular parts. Answer (D) is correct because the circle is divided into four equal quarter-sections.
Read the sentence.
The friendly neighbors live two floors above our apartment.
Which set of words all mean the opposite of the preposition above?
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
The correct answer is (C).
Let's Break This Down Step by Step
In the sentence "The friendly neighbors live two floors above our apartment," the word "above" tells us the neighbors live in a higher place than where we live. Think of it like this: if you're on the first floor, "above" means the second floor, third floor, or higher.
If "above" means higher up, then the opposite would mean lower down or underneath. Just like how "hot" is the opposite of "cold," we need words that mean the complete opposite of "above."
We need to find the set where ALL THREE words mean the opposite of "above." Even if two words are correct, if one word doesn't fit, then that whole answer choice is wrong.
Let's think about common prepositions that mean "lower than" or "underneath":
Below = lower than something
Under = underneath something
Beneath = underneath something
Underneath = below something
Now let's check words that DON'T mean the opposite of above:
During = about time (like "during lunch")
Across = from one side to another
Over = above something (this actually means the same as "above"!)
Looking at choice (C): beneath, under, below - all three of these words mean "lower than" or "underneath," which is the opposite of "above."
Why the Other Options are Incorrect
Answer (A) is incorrect because while "under" and "beneath" do mean the opposite of "above," the word "during" is about time, not position. "During" tells us when something happens, not where something is located.
Answer (B) is incorrect because while "below" and "underneath" do mean the opposite of "above," the word "across" means from one side to another, not lower down. If you walk across the street, you're going from one side to the other, not going underneath.
Answer (D) is incorrect because while "below" and "beneath" do mean the opposite of "above," the word "over" actually means the same thing as "above." When we say something is "over" our heads, it means it's above us, not below us.
Click on the contraction in which the apostrophe is in the right place.
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
Wrong
The correct answer is (B) couldn't.
Let's Break This Down Step by Step
Think of contractions like shortcuts in writing. When we speak, we often squish two words together to make them easier and faster to say. For example, instead of saying "do not," we say "don't." The apostrophe is like a placeholder that shows where letters were removed.
The apostrophe always goes where the missing letters used to be. It's like leaving a space marker where something was taken away. If we remove the letters "o" from "do not," the apostrophe goes right where the "o" was: "don't."
Let's look at what each contraction should be:
"There is" becomes "there's" (we remove the "i" from "is")
"Could not" becomes "couldn't" (we remove the "o" from "not")
"Does not" becomes "doesn't" (we remove the "o" from "not")
"Let us" becomes "let's" (we remove the "u" from "us")
Find the correctly written contraction
Looking at our choices, only "couldn't" has the apostrophe in the right place - right where the missing "o" from "not" should be.
The answer (B) is correct.
Answer (A) "ther'es" is incorrect because the apostrophe is placed in the middle of the word "there" instead of between "there" and "is." The correct contraction is "there's" - the apostrophe replaces the "i" that we removed from "is."
Answer (C) "does'nt" is incorrect because the apostrophe comes after the "s" instead of where the missing letter should be. We're combining "does" + "not" and removing the "o" from "not," so it should be "doesn't."
Answer (D) "lets'" is incorrect because the apostrophe is at the very end, but we're trying to make "let us" into one word. We remove the "u" from "us," so the apostrophe should go where that "u" was: "let's."

If your child is in 2nd grade, you're in the right place. Not the right grade level? No problem. Use the link below to find the PrepPack that best matches your child's current grade and learning needs.
This pack is filled with over 460 practice questions designed to make learning feel rewarding. It includes 3 full-length practice tests to help your child get comfortable with the test day flow, 18 bite-sized quizzes to focus on specific skills without overwhelming them, and 2 enrichment drills for a fun challenge. It also comes with our Number Masters game to help them practice math through play!
It is built to give your second grader the true feel of the NWEA 2nd grade MAP test. Because most second graders are now expected to read test questions independently, our pack helps them practice navigating screens and reading questions on their own. It features a healthy mix of both easy and challenging questions so your child can build test stamina and feel completely confident.
Yes, absolutely! The NWEA MAP test is computer-adaptive, meaning it adjusts to a child's unique level. Our pack mirrors this by offering a wide variety of questions. It covers foundational 2nd-grade milestones, but also includes gentler entry questions as well as advanced enrichment drills, making it a great fit whether your child needs a confidence boost or an extra learning challenge.
Free samples online usually only offer a handful of random questions, which doesn’t give children enough practice to truly feel comfortable. Our pack provides a complete, structured experience with hundreds of questions, clear explanations you can use to help them learn, progress tracking, and interactive tools. It turns test prep into a supportive, low-stress journey rather than just a quick quiz.
Most parents choose two or three 30-minute sessions per week. Focus on weaker subjects first, then try a full practice test before the real assessment.
It all comes down to how much time and flexibility your family needs:
Essential Pack: Gives you 3 months of access. It is perfect if you want a focused confidence boost and skill review right before test day.
Extended Pack: Gives you 6 months of access. This is ideal for long-term development, helping students who are reaching for higher scores or advanced learning goals.
Family Membership: Gives you 12 months of unlimited access across all grade levels. This is the best value if you have multiple children or want ongoing academic support from kindergarten and beyond.
Every MAP 2nd Grade PrepPack comes with Number Masters, a fun and interactive game that helps your child build stronger math skills and think faster with numbers. Check out the video below to see Number Masters in action!
