Standards basis

Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks / Massachusetts learning standards (CCSS-aligned math standards as adopted by Massachusetts) — Massachusetts

How the MCAS reports it

MCAS is Massachusetts’ statewide assessment program, and its math design is built on Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks rather than a separate multi-state framework. The official MCAS pages state that MCAS assessments are based on the state’s learning standards and that the math tests are organized by Massachusetts grade-band domains/reporting categories.

Blueprint & weighting

The official MCAS math blueprint/test-design materials were not successfully retrievable in this session, so published domain weightings could not be verified from a primary PDF/page.

In parallelogram PQRSPQRS, mP=(4x+6)°m\angle P=(4x+6)° and mQ=(2x+24)°m\angle Q=(2x+24)°. What is the measure of P\angle P?

Consecutive angles are supplementary: (4x+6)+(2x+24)=180(4x+6)+(2x+24)=180, so 6x+30=1806x+30=180 and x=25x=25. Then mP=4(25)+6=106°m\angle P=4(25)+6=106°.

A circle in the coordinate plane has a diameter with endpoints (2.5,1)(2.5, -1) and (2.5,7).(2.5, 7)\textsf{.} What is the radius of the circle?

The endpoints share the same xx-coordinate, so the diameter is vertical with length 7(1)=8.|7 - (-1)| = 8\textsf{.} The radius is half the diameter, so r=82=4.r = \dfrac{8}{2} = 4\textsf{.}

The equation (x1)2+(y+4)2=49(x - 1)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 49 represents Circle A. Circle B is obtained by shifting Circle A up 66 units in the coordinate plane. Which of the following equations represents Circle B?

Circle A has center (1,4)(1, -4) and radius 77. Shifting up 66 moves the center to (1,2)(1, 2), so Circle B is (x1)2+(y2)2=49(x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 49.

The graph of the equation (x+1)2+(y+10)2=144(x + 1)^2 + (y + 10)^2 = 144 is a circle in the coordinate plane. The point (a,b)(a, b) lies on the circle. Which of the following is a possible value for a?a\textsf{?}

The center is (1,10)(-1, -10) and the radius is 12.12\textsf{.} A point on the circle must satisfy 112a1+12,-1 - 12 \le a \le -1 + 12\textsf{,} so 13a11.-13 \le a \le 11\textsf{.} The value 66 is in this interval.

Identify the conic: x29+y24=1\dfrac{x^{2}}{9} + \dfrac{y^{2}}{4} = 1.

Both variables are squared with positive coefficients and different denominators: this is an ellipse.

A shipping crate has a volume of 160160 cubic feet and holds 4,8004{,}800 identical packages. What is the packaging density, in packages per cubic foot?

Set up the proportion x packages1 cubic foot=4,800 packages160 cubic feet.\dfrac{x\text{ packages}}{1\text{ cubic foot}} = \dfrac{4{,}800\text{ packages}}{160\text{ cubic feet}}\textsf{.} Cross-multiplying gives 160x=4,800,160x = 4{,}800\textsf{,} so x=30 packages per ft3.x = 30\text{ packages per ft}^{3}\textsf{.}

A circle in the coordinate plane has equation (x+1)2+(y7)2=4.(x + 1)^{2} + (y - 7)^{2} = 4\textsf{.} What is the yy-coordinate of the center of the circle?

(y7)2(y - 7)^{2} means k=7,k = 7\textsf{,} so the center is (1,7).(-1, 7)\textsf{.}

Point M(5,4)M(5, 4) is the midpoint of a segment with one endpoint at (2,1)(2, 1). What is the xx-coordinate of the other endpoint?

Since 2+x2=5\dfrac{2 + x}{2} = 5, we get x=102=8x = 10 - 2 = 8.
