Make 4 options in each item, make sure that the options are good for grade 8 students.

Understand the Problem

The question is asking to create four answer options for each mathematical equation, ensuring the options are appropriate for grade 8 students. This requires identifying the correct answer for each equation and then generating plausible distractors.

Answer

Answer options are: 1. $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$ 2. $-3$, $-2$, $0$, $2$ 3. $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$ 4. $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$
Answer for screen readers

Answer options for each equation are as follows:

  1. For $2x + 3 = 11$: $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$

  2. For $x^2 - 4 = 0$: $-3$, $-2$, $0$, $2$

  3. For $3x - 9 = 0$: $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$

  4. For $5x + 2 = 12$: $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the Mathematical Equations Determine which mathematical equations you'll be working with. For instance, let's use the following equations:

    • $2x + 3 = 11$
    • $x^2 - 4 = 0$
    • $3x - 9 = 0$
    • $5x + 2 = 12$
  2. Solve Each Equation Find the solution for each equation step by step.

    • For $2x + 3 = 11$: Solve for $x$: $$ 2x = 11 - 3 $$ $$ 2x = 8 $$ $$ x = 4 $$

    • For $x^2 - 4 = 0$: Factor the equation: $$ (x - 2)(x + 2) = 0 $$ Thus, $x = 2$ or $x = -2$.

    • For $3x - 9 = 0$: Solve for $x$: $$ 3x = 9 $$ $$ x = 3 $$

    • For $5x + 2 = 12$: Solve for $x$: $$ 5x = 12 - 2 $$ $$ 5x = 10 $$ $$ x = 2 $$

  3. Create Answer Options Generate four answer options for each equation, including the correct answer and three distractors.

    • For $2x + 3 = 11$ (correct answer: $4$): Options: $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$

    • For $x^2 - 4 = 0$ (correct answers: $2$ and $-2$): Options: $-3$, $-2$, $0$, $2$

    • For $3x - 9 = 0$ (correct answer: $3$): Options: $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$

    • For $5x + 2 = 12$ (correct answer: $2$): Options: $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$

  4. Final Review of Answer Options Make sure the options are appropriate for eighth-grade students and verify that the correct answer is included among plausible distractors.

Answer options for each equation are as follows:

  1. For $2x + 3 = 11$: $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$

  2. For $x^2 - 4 = 0$: $-3$, $-2$, $0$, $2$

  3. For $3x - 9 = 0$: $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$

  4. For $5x + 2 = 12$: $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$

More Information

The answer options provide a mix of correct and incorrect answers that challenge students while staying within their competence level. It also encourages critical thinking as students must identify the correct option from closely related numbers.

Tips

  • Failing to include plausible distractors can lead to easy identification of the correct answer.
  • Not checking calculations may result in incorrect answer options.
  • Using options that are too far apart from the correct answer can make the question less challenging.
