What the test measures

Modeling with Geometry skills

  1. apply geometric concepts in modeling situations

  2. use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects

Standards basis

Common Core State Standards (CCSS-M) — District of Columbia

How the DC CAPE reports it

DC CAPE math continues DC’s PARCC-era alignment to the Common Core State Standards and uses the same general development/review approach described by OSSE. The page says DC Math follows the same rigorous development and review process and measures the knowledge and skills that matter most for DC students, while also explicitly tying the assessments to CCSS.

Blueprint & weighting

DC CAPE uses the PARCC-derived / Common Core-based framework (by grade domains structure).

Lakeview has a population of 37,80037{,}800 people and an area of 8484 square miles. What is the population density, in people per square mile?

Set up the proportion x people1 square mile=37,800 people84 square miles.\dfrac{x\text{ people}}{1\text{ square mile}} = \dfrac{37{,}800\text{ people}}{84\text{ square miles}}\textsf{.} Cross-multiplying gives 84x=37,800,84x = 37{,}800\textsf{,} so x=450 people per mile2.x = 450\text{ people per mile}^{2}\textsf{.}

A metal sample has a mass of 540540 kilograms and a density of 1212 kilograms per cubic meter. What is the volume of the sample, in cubic meters?

Set up the proportion 12 kilograms1 cubic meter=540 kilogramsx cubic meters.\dfrac{12\text{ kilograms}}{1\text{ cubic meter}} = \dfrac{540\text{ kilograms}}{x\text{ cubic meters}}\textsf{.} Cross-multiplying gives 12x=540,12x = 540\textsf{,} so x=45 m3.x = 45\text{ m}^{3}\textsf{.}

A ranch has 414414 cattle and a density of 1818 cattle per acre. What is the area of the ranch, in acres?

Set up the proportion 18 cattle1 acre=414 cattlex acres.\dfrac{18\text{ cattle}}{1\text{ acre}} = \dfrac{414\text{ cattle}}{x\text{ acres}}\textsf{.} Cross-multiplying gives 18x=414,18x = 414\textsf{,} so x=23 acres.x = 23\text{ acres}\textsf{.}
