Answer the following questions honestly to assess your own abilities. This pre-quiz will not be graded. It can be used for you to determine your own strengths and weaknesses.

Could you rewrite the sum of fractions $\frac {4}{3} + \frac {3}{4}$ as a single fraction (AKA add the fractions)?

Yes, could add these two fractions together. Yes, I could, but I would need to review some resources first. No, I would need to learn/relearn how to do this. I don’t know. I don’t want to answer this question right now.

Could you list the following fractions in increasing order? $\frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}, 0, 1, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{4}$

Yes, I could list the above fractions in increasing order. Yes, I could, but I would need to review some resources first. No, I would need to learn/relearn how to do this. I don’t know. I don’t want to answer this question right now.

What is $\frac {3}{4} + \frac {4}{3}$ equal to? (Mark all correct answers)

If you have forgotten how to add fractions, this card could be a nice refresher.

$\frac {7}{7}$ $1$ $\frac {25}{12}$ $\frac {12}{12}$ $\frac {7}{12}$ $1 + \frac {5}{7}$ $2$ $2 + \frac {1}{12}$ I don’t know. I don’t want to answer this question right now.

If you didn’t, why didn’t you answer the above question?

I don’t know the answer to this question yet. I don’t want to answer this question right now. I have already answered this question correctly.

List the following fractions in increasing order $\frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}, 0, 1, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{4}$

If you are having difficulties ordering these fractions, you may want to work through this card.

$0, 1, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{4}$ $0, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}, 1, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{4}$ $0, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{4}, 1, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}$ $0, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{4}, 1$ $0, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{4}, \frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}, 1$ The correct order is not given.

If you didn’t, why didn’t you answer the above question?

I don’t know the answer to this question yet. I don’t want to answer this question right now. I have already answered this question correctly.
