Standards basis

Minnesota Academic Standards in Mathematics (2007; assessed by MCA-III in grades 3-8 and 11 through 2026-27. 2022 standards phase in with MCA-IV beginning 2027-28) — Minnesota

How the MCA reports it

Minnesota’s MCA math is a state assessment tied to Minnesota Academic Standards in Mathematics rather than a separate national framework. The official public resources available here point to Minnesota-specific standards implementation, and absent a test blueprint, the coverage map should be organized by the state’s grade-level math domains that closely parallel CCSS-M. Note: the current MCA-III assesses the 2007 Minnesota standards in grades 3-8 and 11; Minnesota administers a single comprehensive high-school (grade 11) math test, NOT Algebra I / Geometry / Algebra II end-of-course exams — the 'High School / MCA EOC' band below is the grade-11 HS administration. (MCA-IV on the 2022 standards begins 2027-28.)

Similar triangles GHIGHI and JKLJKL have perimeters 1616 and 48.48\textsf{.} Side GHGH corresponds to side JK,JK\textsf{,} and GH=5.GH = 5\textsf{.} What is the length of JK?JK\textsf{?}

The scale factor from △GHI\triangle GHI to △JKL\triangle JKL is 4816=3.\dfrac{48}{16} = 3\textsf{.} Corresponding sides scale by 3,3\textsf{,} so JK=5⋅3=15.JK = 5 \cdot 3 = 15\textsf{.}

A $200\text{\char36}200 sweater is on sale for 15%15\% off. What is the sale price?

Discount: 15100×$200=$30.\dfrac{15}{100} \times \text{\char36}200 = \text{\char36}30\textsf{.} Sale price: $200−$30=$170.\text{\char36}200 - \text{\char36}30 = \text{\char36}170\textsf{.}

A cab fare is $40.\text{\char36}40\textsf{.} With a 15%15\% tip added, what is the total?

Tip: 15100×$40=$6.\dfrac{15}{100} \times \text{\char36}40 = \text{\char36}6\textsf{.} Total: $40+$6=$46.\text{\char36}40 + \text{\char36}6 = \text{\char36}46\textsf{.}

A school sold tickets to two events. What is the ratio of gala revenue to fair revenue in simplest form?
EventTickets availablePrice eachPercent soldGala100$4080%Fair200$1560%\begin{array}{l|c|c|c} \text{Event} & \text{Tickets available} & \text{Price each} & \text{Percent sold} \\ \hline \text{Gala} & 100 & \text{\char36}40 & 80\% \\ \text{Fair} & 200 & \text{\char36}15 & 60\% \end{array}

Gala tickets sold: 100⋅0.80=80100 \cdot 0.80 = 80, so revenue is 80⋅40=3,200.80 \cdot 40 = 3{,}200\textsf{.} Fair tickets sold: 200⋅0.60=120200 \cdot 0.60 = 120, so revenue is 120⋅15=1,800.120 \cdot 15 = 1{,}800\textsf{.} The ratio 3,200:1,8003{,}200:1{,}800 simplifies by dividing by 200200 to 16:9.16:9\textsf{.}
