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
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.
What hints do you know about
working with multiple choice
problems?
Tamyra is babysitting to earn money to visit her aunt. She earns $3.00
for each hour of babysitting.
Completion (fill-in-the-blank)
• Completion items should be written like a
multiple‐choice item but no answer choices
are provided.
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.”
Makayla is using pop cans for an art project. She is covering half of a can with paper.

Circle Graph
Number of students who have each math teacher
Bogdon
90
Cronquist 105
Sprague 100
What is the fraction for
each teacher?
Circle Graph
Bogdon 90/300 = 0.30 or 30%
Cronquist 100/300 = 0.33 or 33%
Sprague 110/300 = 0.37 or 37%
So 30% of the circle.
33% or 1/3 of the circle
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
