Which One Doesn't Belong? - Exercise

The Which One Doesn't Belong? Concept Builder is comprised of 48 questions. The questions are divided into 12 different question groups. Questions in the same group are rather similar to one another; they each tend to have the same 4-5 representations with the order being scrambled from one version of the question to the next. The Concept Builder is coded to select at random a question from each group until a student is successful with that group of questions.

There are three levels of difficulty by which the student can progress through the Concept Builder. Those three difficulty levels are differentiated as follows:
 

• Apprentice Level: Groups 1-4
• Masters Level: Groups 1-8
• Wizard Level: Groups 1-12

The questions from each group are shown below. Teachers are encouraged to view the questions in order to judge which level of difficulty is most appropriate for their classes. We recommend providing students two or more options. For instance, it would be profitable for a student to complete the Concept Builder at the Apprentice Level in order to gain some confidence and then to be challenged to complete the activity at the Masters Level.
