2a. “receives another $25” suggests addition, “How much more” suggests subtraction. Possible
answer: First add $58 to $25, and then subtract that sum from $113 to find out how much more
money she needs.
3a. “each” suggests multiplication, “left over” suggests subtraction. Possible answer: First
multiply 3 by 6 to find out how much you spent on muffins. Then subtract that amount from 22
to find out how much is left.

4a. Obtuse isosceles triangle b. The shape is a trapezoid, and it belongs to the
categories of quadrilateral and polygon.
2a. The student said the triangle had four sides, this is incorrect. The correct definition is “A
three-side polygon with two equal sides and all acute angles.”
2b. The student said the rectangle has all obtuse angles, this is incorrect. The correct definition is
“A four-sided polygon with two sets of parallel sides and all right angles.”
3a. Sinead is correct that both rhombus and square are subgroups of kite. This is true because
the rhombus and square also have pairs of adjacent sides that are the same length, just like a kite
does.
3b. Sinead is incorrect about the trapezoid being a subgroup of square. A trapezoid has only one
set of parallel lines, and a square has two sets of parallel lines. The square doesn’t have any
subgroups.
4. Mary’s observation is true for all concave polygons, as they have all straight sides, at least one
reflex interior angle, and can all be partitioned into convex polygons.
5. No, triangles have three sides and quadrilaterals have four. It is true that they both have
straight sides and so are both polygons, but they differ in the property “number of sides.”
