Please use the following items to help your students and you understand how multiple
choice items for vertex-edge graphs in fourth grade might be formatted. I have left the
document in Word so that you can change the names or manipulate the level of difficulty.
Do not hesitate to contact your advisor or me if you need help understanding our new
discrete math POs!
