How the Forward reports it

Wisconsin’s Forward Exam is a state assessment designed to measure students against the recently updated Wisconsin Academic Standards, rather than a separate national framework. The official Forward Exam page confirms the math assessment is administered in grades 3-8 and is aligned to the Wisconsin Academic Standards, but it does not publish a math-specific blueprint on the page itself.

Blueprint & weighting

Not published in the official Forward Exam page content available here. The page confirms alignment to Wisconsin Academic Standards and administration in grades 3-8, but no math blueprint percentages or reporting-category weights are provided on the page content retrieved.

Find the area of a trapezoid with bases b1=5b_1 = 5 and b2=6b_2 = 6 and height h=4h = 4.

Trapezoid area =12(b1+b2)⋅h=12(5+6)⋅4=12(11)⋅4=22= \dfrac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2) \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2}(5 + 6) \cdot 4 = \dfrac{1}{2}(11) \cdot 4 = 22.

A rhombus has diagonals of length 8 in8\text{ in} and 5 in.5\text{ in}\textsf{.} What is its area?

The area of a rhombus is half the product of the diagonals: 12⋅8⋅5=20 in2.\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot 5 = 20\text{ in}^{2}\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a triangle with base b=8b = 8 and height h=9h = 9.

Triangle area =12⋅b⋅h=12⋅8⋅9=36= \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot 9 = 36.

A rhombus has diagonals of length 7 ft7\text{ ft} and 8 ft.8\text{ ft}\textsf{.} What is its area?

The area of a rhombus is half the product of the diagonals: 12⋅7⋅8=28 ft2.\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 7 \cdot 8 = 28\text{ ft}^{2}\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a parallelogram with base b=2b = 2 and height h=9h = 9.

Parallelogram area =b⋅h=2⋅9=18= b \cdot h = 2 \cdot 9 = 18.

Practice playeasy

A rhombus has diagonals of length 8 mm8\text{ mm} and 9 mm.9\text{ mm}\textsf{.} What is its area?

The area of a rhombus is half the product of the diagonals: 12⋅8⋅9=36 mm2.\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot 9 = 36\text{ mm}^{2}\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a trapezoid with bases b1=7b_1 = 7 and b2=10b_2 = 10 and height h=6h = 6.

Trapezoid area =12(b1+b2)⋅h=12(7+10)⋅6=12(17)⋅6=51= \dfrac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2) \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2}(7 + 10) \cdot 6 = \dfrac{1}{2}(17) \cdot 6 = 51.
