What the test measures

Measurement and Data skills

  1. solve problems involving measurement and estimation

  2. represent and interpret data

  3. geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition

  4. geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures

Standards basis

Illinois Learning Standards incorporating the Common Core State Standards (CCSS-M) — Illinois

How the IAR reports it

IAR is Illinois’ state assessment built on the Illinois Learning Standards incorporating the Common Core, and its math design follows the PARCC-style blueprinting approach used for grades 3–8. ISBE’s resources page points to the PARCC mathematics model content frameworks, and the IAR page says the math evidence statements are aligned directly to the Common Core State Standards.

Blueprint & weighting

IAR uses the PARCC-derived / Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) framework (by grade domains structure).

A line plot shows the lengths of ribbons in inches: 3 ribbons at 18\tfrac{1}{8} and 1 ribbon at 58\tfrac{5}{8}. What is the total length of ribbon?

3×18+58=38+58=88=13 \times \tfrac{1}{8} + \tfrac{5}{8} = \tfrac{3}{8} + \tfrac{5}{8} = \tfrac{8}{8} = 1 inch.

A line plot shows value 5: 1 X's, value 6: 3 X's, value 7: 2 X's. How many data points in all?

Add the X counts: 1+3+2=61 + 3 + 2 = 6.

What is the perimeter of a 44 m by 33 m rectangle?

2(4+3)=2×7=142(4 + 3) = 2 \times 7 = 14.

Practice playeasy

A bar graph shows: Cats = 8, Dogs = 12, Birds = 5. How many more Dogs than Cats?

Subtract: 12−8=412 - 8 = 4.

Practice playeasy

A rectangle is 99 ft by 22 ft. Area in ft2^2?

9×2=189 \times 2 = 18.

Practice playeasy

A line plot (in cups) shows 2 at 14\tfrac{1}{4}, 1 at 12\tfrac{1}{2}, 1 at 34\tfrac{3}{4}. What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total =74= \tfrac{7}{4}.

Practice playeasy

A line plot shows value 5: 1 X's, value 6: 3 X's, value 7: 2 X's. Which value occurs most often?

The value with the most X's is 66 (it has 33).
