XIV. Mathematics, Grade 8
Grade 8 Mathematics Test The spring 0 grade 8 Mathematics test was based on standards in the five domains for grade 8 in the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics (March 0). The grade 8 standards can be found on pages 6 69 in the Framework, and the five domains are listed below. The Number Sstem Epressions and Equations Functions Geometr Statistics and Probabilit The Curriculum Framework for Mathematics is available on the Department website at www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html. Mathematics test results are reported under five MCAS reporting categories, which are identical to the five framework domains listed above. Test Sessions The grade 8 Mathematics test included two separate test sessions. Each session included multiplechoice, short-answer, and open-response questions. Approimatel half of the common test items are shown on the following pages as the appeared in test booklets. Reference Materials and Tools Each student taking the grade 8 Mathematics test was provided with a plastic ruler and a grade 8 Mathematics Reference Sheet. A cop of the reference sheet follows the final question in this chapter. An image of the ruler is not reproduced in this publication. During session, each student had sole access to a calculator with at least four functions and a square root ke. Calculator use was not allowed during session. The use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries was allowed for current and former English language learner students onl, during both Mathematics test sessions. No other reference tools or materials were allowed. Cross-Reference Information The tables at the conclusion of this chapter indicate each released and unreleased common item s reporting categor and the framework standard it assesses. The correct answers for released multiplechoice and short-answer questions are also displaed in the released item table. 0
