Common Core Standard MP2 Questions

Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations. They bring two complementary abilities to bear on problems involving quantitative relationships: the ability to decontextualize—to abstract a given situation and represent it symbolically and manipulate the representing symbols as if they have a life of their own, without necessarily attending to their referents—and the ability to contextualize, to pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to probe into the referents for the symbols involved. Quantitative reasoning entails habits of creating a coherent representation of the problem at hand; considering the units involved; attending to the meaning of quantities, not just how to compute them; and knowing and flexibly using different properties of operations and objects.

Grade 5 Fractions and Ratios CCSS: 5.NF.A.2, MP2, MP7

A bird watcher observes a bird flying at a height of

$6/10$ kilometer. The bird dives down toward the ground then continues flying at a height

$2/5$ kilometer below its original height.

The bird watcher states that the bird is now flying at a height of

$4/5$ kilometer.

Which TWO statements are true?

Since $6/10$ minus $2/5$ is $4/5$ , the height is reasonable.
Since $4/5$ is greater than $6/10$ , the height is not reasonable.
The fraction $2/5$ is $4/10$ , and $4/10$ equals $4/5$ , so the height is reasonable.
The fraction $2/5$ is $4/10$ , and $6/10$ minus $4/10$ does not equal $4/5$ , so the height is not reasonable.
The fraction $2/5$ is $4/10$ , and $6/10$ plus $4/10$ is less than $4/5$ , so the height is not reasonable.
