ANSWER KEY
Question 1: D. 2 ¾ cups
Question 2: B. 80 cm because equilateral triangles all have same sides. So that means 2 of the sides of the
quadrilateral must be 20cm, per triangle. Therefore the perimeter would be the addition of the
exposed sides. There are 4 @ 20cm each. 4x20=80cm
Question 3: C. 13 ⅓ pounds
Question 4: A. t ≤ 32
Question 5:
Sample Response: 2 points
 (8 + 2)  5 x 13 – 2 = 24
 When using the order of operations, all operations in parentheses must be evaluated first, followed
by multiplication and division from left to right, and then subtraction from left to right.
Sample Response: 1 point
The response shows partial evidence of understanding the order of operations.
 Provides a correct equation but fails to explain how the order of operations was used.
 Provides a correct equation but incorrectly explains how the order of operations was used.
 Correctly describes how to use the order of operations, but fails to give an example for part a.
Sample Response: 0 points
The response provides inadequate evidence of using the order of operations to create and evaluate an equation.
The response provides major flaws in reasoning or gives irrelevant information. For example, the response may:
 Be blank or make unrelated statements
 Recopy information from the stem
Question 6: A. If John ate ½ of the chips from a bag that had ¾ of the chips remaining, how much of the chips
did he eat?
Question 7: B. 950,000
Question 8: B. The median number of trees planted was 11.
Question 9: A. The value of 9 in box A is 10 times bigger than the value of 9 in box B.
Question10: D. 8/17
Question 11: B. (6 x 0.85) + (9 x 1.20)
Question 12: C. ½ ÷ 3 = 1/6
Question 13: A. 3
Question 14: C. 1.2 ÷ .4

Question 15:
Sample Response: 4 points
The focus of this task is using an estimation strategy to solve a problem and determine the reasonableness of the
result. The response provides a reasonable estimate for the number of miles biked from Monday through
Saturday with an adequate explanation of the reasonableness of the mother’s estimate.
Sample response:
 0.87 is almost 1 mile
 1.8 is almost 2 miles
 .092 is almost 1 mile
 1 +2 + 1 = 4; 4 x 5 = 20 miles
 1 x 2 = 2; 20 + 2 = 22 miles
Total for the week is 22 miles. Her Mother’s estimate is not reasonable because is less than 30.
NOTE: Rounding distances to the nearest tenth is an acceptable strategy.
Sample Response: 3 points
The response provides adequate evidence of using an estimation strategy to solve a problem and determine the
reasonableness of the result; however the solution may be incomplete or slightly flawed.
For example, the response may:
 Provide an accurate estimate for the total miles biked in 6 days without support, AND the
explanation of the reasonableness of the mother’s estimate is correct.
 Provide work with an error in the estimation strategy AND provide an explanation of the
reasonableness of the mother’s estimate that is based on that error.
Sample Response: 2 points
The response provides partial evidence of using an estimation strategy to solve a problem and determine the
reasonableness of the result; however, the solution may not be complete or slightly flawed.
For example, the response may:
 Provide an accurate estimate with supporting work, but the explanation of the reasonableness of the
mother’s estimate is missing or incorrect.
 Provide a correct estimate for an incorrect number of days and an explanation of the reasonableness
of the mother’s estimate is based on that error.
Sample Response: 1 point
The response provides minimal evidence of using an estimation strategy to solve a problem and determine the
reasonableness of the result; however, the solution may not be complete or slightly flawed
For example, the response may:
 Provide exact, correct computation rather than an estimate, AND provide a correct explanation of
the reasonableness of the mother’s estimate.
 Provide a correct estimate for one day with or without an explanation of the reasonableness of the
mother’s estimate.
Sample Response: 0 points
The response provides inadequate evidence of using an estimation strategy to solve a problem and determine the
reasonableness of the result. The response provides major flaws in reasoning or gives irrelevant information.
For example, the response may:
 Provide an exact calculation with no evidence of estimation
 Show a total of 30 miles biked
 Be blank or give unrelated statements
 Recopy information from the stem.
