Stage H - Mathematics
Assessments
Mathematics Classroom Assessments Aligned to the Illinois
Learning Standards
The assessments are coded according to learning standard
and stage. Example: 6A.H is aligned to standard 6A, stage
H (eighth grade). Sample student work, when available, will
follow the assessment.
6A & 6C.H - Number Lines
Find coordinates and distances on a number line.
6B.H
- Which Pair?
Determine possible pairings of numbers and operations that
will produce the exact value desired without doing any actual
computation.
6D.H - Selling Price
Calculate the original pricing of a computer game, to allow
for the percentage of profit desired.
7A & 7B.H - Measuring Your
Classroom
Measure the dimensions of the classroom and calculate area;
determine the maximum error present in their distance measurements
and in their calculated area.
7A
& 9A & 9C.H - Tangram Perimeters
Compare the relative size relationships between pieces in
the seven-piece Tangram square and other figures made of Tangram
pieces.
7C & 9C.H - Around the Stop
Sign
Analyze a drawing of a regular octagon inscribed in a circle
to determine angle measures, using knowledge of properties
of regular polygons and the sums of angles in various polygons
to help solve the problem.
8A.H - Marcy's Dots
Identify and extend the pattern of changes in a series of
pictures of dots and generalize that pattern in words, and
symbols either recursively or explicitly.
8B & 8D.H - Walking Home
II
Analyze a situation involving distance traveled in a given
period of time when rates are provided, represent this situation
graphically and algebraically, and discuss the concept of
slope as a rate of change represented on the graph.
8C.H - Sharing Gum
Solve a problem involving linear inequality and justify the
reasoning and procedures.
8D.H - Is It Linear?
Write a real-world word problem with two variables in the
answer.
9A.H - Shapes in Motion
Move a given shape through a series of transformations, determine
another single transformation that would have resulted in
the same initial pre-image and final image, and analyze whether
those motions would produce equivalent images with other starting
figures.
9B.H - The Stained Glass Window
Analyze a scale drawing to determine the actual size of pieces
of a stained glass window.
9D.H - Diagonals and Altitudes
Find the length of the diagonal of a square that has a side
the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle, explain
reasoning and justify procedures.
10A.H - Sales Leader
Examine a set of data for three realtors' sales to determine
which one is the sales leader.
10B.H - Pet Shop Decision
Design a study to solve a real-world problem, and then design
a study to help them answer the question.
10C.H - Why Isn't it 50-50?
Understand the difference between the outcome of the experiment,
and the outcome that they expected.
