The Measure of Student Progress (MSP) A time for you to shine!

1. The Measure of Student Progress(MSP)A time for you to shine!

2. There are 3 types of questions… Multiple choice 1 point each 25 of them will be on the test Completion (fill-in-the-blank) 1 point each 5 of them will be on the test Short answer 2 points each 5 of them on the test How many points will there be?? Don’t blurt it out!

3. How many points? • Grade 7 Test Map Areas of Emphasis Total Number of Points • 7.1 Rational numbers and linear equations 8‐10 • 7.2 Proportionality and similarity 9‐11 • 7.3 Surface area and volume 6‐8 • 7.4 Probability and data 6‐8 • 7.5 Graphing in 4-Quadrants and Prime Factorization 0‐1 • 7.6 Reasoning, problem solving, and communication 4‐6

4. Helpful Hints • Read the question 3 times. Annotate! (It’s your test, you can write notes, underline, circle) • SHOW WORK on all problems---including multiple choice  (you are less likely to make hasty guess). • SHOW WORK that you did on calculator:  if you are multiplying or dividing, write those numbers down followed by the answer you get from calculator, so scorer knows what you were thinking/doing.  • Make sure to answer EVERY “bullet” point listed above the box for work & answer.  • DO NOT ERASE YOUR WORK---instead, CROSS IT OUT so that scorer can still tell what you did (if what you crossed out was actually correct, and they can still see it, then you can get credit for it!!) • LABEL ALL ANSWERS…..LABEL ALL ANSWERS • TITLE & LABELS FOR ALL GRAPHS…..TITLE & LABELS FOR ALL GRAPHS • DO NOT LEAVE ANY QUESTIONS BLANK----ANSWER EVERY QUESTION

5. Multiple Choice Questions • The responses "All of the above" and "None of the above" will not be used. • The letters A, B, C, and D will be used for answer choices and will not be used as labels within a multiple‐choice item. • The test will not distract you by giving partially correct responses nor will it be designed to “trick” students into responding incorrectly.

6. What hints do you know about working with multiple choice problems?

7. Tamyra is babysitting to earn money to visit her aunt. She earns $3.00 for each hour of babysitting.

8. Completion (fill-in-the-blank) • Completion items should be written like a multiple‐choice item but no answer choices are provided.

10. Short Answer • Short‐Answer items include Enhanced Multiple‐Choice items that ask students to select from a list of four answer choices and then show work to support or explain the reason(s) for choosing that response. • Short‐Answer items will give clear indications of what is required of students; e.g., “Name two properties of Figure A.” or “Write an equation.” • General directions that allow the student to construct a response may read as follows: "Show your work using words, numbers and/or pictures." “Show the steps you used to solve the problem.”

11. Makayla is using pop cans for an art project. She is covering half of a can with paper. How many square inches of paper are required? Show your work using words, numbers, and/or pictures. d= 3 inches 6 inches The pop can would require _______________ square inches of paper.

12. In your test booklet you will have…

13. What tools can I use? • Straightedge or ruler • Protractor or angle ruler • Integer tiles/chips or algebra tiles • Base-ten pieces, cubes, pattern • blocks, or Cuisenaire rods • Geoboards • Glossary of Non-Mathematics Terms • Charts that can remain on teachers’ walls: • Hundreds charts (0-99 or 1-100 only) • Number lines with whole numbers only

14. You also need to know… • Hash marks show congruent length. • Remember right angles. • The symbol “⊥” may be used to indicate perpendicular lines, e.g., l1 ⊥ l2. • The symbol “║” may be used to indicate parallel lines, e.g., l1 ║ l2. • Each graph or table will include a title in the prompt and/or the answer space. 1 2 1 2

15. And these vocab words… band A group of people who play music together. canoe A long, narrow boat. carnival A party often including games, prizes, food, and music. cast To create something you can see (cast a shadow). concrete A strong building material used to make sidewalks. earn To get a score on a game of golf. field trip A trip taken by students and teachers to a place away from school. kept track Counted. pond A body of water smaller than a lake. prop A piece of scenery used in a show or play. raise money To collect money. rent To pay to use something for a period of time.

17. Circle Graph Number of students who have each math teacher Bogdon90 What is the fraction for Cronquist 105 each teacher? Sprague 100

18. Circle Graph Bogdon 90/300 = 0.30 or 30% So 30% of the circle. Cronquist 100/300 = 0.33 or 33% 33% or 1/3 of the circle Sprague 110/300 = 0.37 or 37% On a circle graph, the circle will already be divided into equal pieces. You will need to figure out how many pieces for each. Hint: it should add up to a full circle

19. Prime Factorization 180 • 30 • 3 6 5 23 2 • 3 • 2 • 3 • 5 = 2² • 3² • 5

20. Proportions • 1 3/8 yards = 6 yards 1 shirt x What strategy would you use to answer this question?

21. What’s your strategy? Heather is outside enjoying the sunshine. She is 5 ft tall and her shadow is 7.5 ft long. At the same time, a tree is casting a 37 ft shadow. How tall is the tree? x ft 5 ft 37 ft 7.5 ft
