What this quiz should check

Topic: Fractions on a number line (3.NF.A.2). A good grade 3 quiz on this asks students to:

• Partition the interval from 0 to 1 into b equal parts and label each mark 1/b, 2/b and so on
• Locate a fraction a/b by marking off a lengths of 1/b from 0
• Explain that each fraction is a point, a number, on the number line
• Recognize that b/b lands at 1

Misconceptions worth a question

• Counting the tick marks instead of the equal spaces between them
• Partitioning a line into unequal parts
• Thinking 1/4 is bigger than 1/3 because 4 is bigger than 3

Teacher tip: Grade 3 fraction standards are limited to denominators 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8, so tell the AI to use only those and to describe each number line in words (for example, "a line from 0 to 1 split into 6 equal parts") so items still work on paper.

Always check the AI's answer key before you give the quiz to students.
