How the NAEP reports it

NAEP mathematics is organized by the National Assessment Governing Board’s framework, not by state standards. The current framework assesses Grades 4, 8, and 12 and uses five content areas, with item distributions and complexity levels specified in the official framework; it is a national assessment and not aligned to Common Core as a governing blueprint, though it reflects broadly modern school math expectations.

Blueprint & weighting

Published item distribution by grade and content area: Grade 4 — Number Properties and Operations 40%, Measurement 20%, Geometry 15%, Data Analysis/Statistics/Probability 10%, Algebra 15%; Grade 8 — Number Properties and Operations 20%, Measurement 15%, Geometry 20%, Data Analysis/Statistics/Probability 15%, Algebra 30%; Grade 12 — Number Properties and Operations 10%, Measurement and Geometry 30%, Data Analysis/Statistics/Probability 25%, Algebra 35%.

What is (5×103)(4×102)(5 \times 10^{-3})(4 \times 10^{-2}) in scientific notation?

Multiply coefficients and add exponents: 54=205 \cdot 4 = 20 and 3+(2)=5-3+(-2)=-5, giving 20×10520 \times 10^{-5}. Rewrite 20=2×10120=2 \times 10^{1}, so 2×101×105=2×104.2 \times 10^{1} \times 10^{-5}=2 \times 10^{-4}\textsf{.}

Which expression is equivalent to 28+63+7\sqrt{28}+\sqrt{63}+\sqrt{7}?

28=27\sqrt{28}=2\sqrt{7}, 63=37\sqrt{63}=3\sqrt{7}, and 7=7\sqrt{7}=\sqrt{7}. Adding gives 27+37+7=672\sqrt{7}+3\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{7}=6\sqrt{7}.

If x\Large x and y\Large y are positive, which expression is equivalent to x10y8\Large \sqrt{x^{10} y^8}?

A square root divides each exponent by 2\Large 2: x102y82=x5y4\Large x^{\tfrac{10}{2}} y^{\tfrac{8}{2}} = x^5 y^4.

The impact speed, in feet per second, of an object dropped from a height can be estimated by multiplying the height, in feet, by 6464 and then taking the square root of the product. According to this method, what is the estimated impact speed, in feet per second, of an object dropped from a height of 1212 feet?

The product is 1264=76812 \cdot 64 = 768. Factor 768=2563768 = 256 \cdot 3, where 256256 is the largest perfect-square factor. So 768=2563=163\sqrt{768} = \sqrt{256 \cdot 3} = 16\sqrt{3}, and 33 is square-free.

Which expression is equivalent to 9800\sqrt{9800}?

9800=70229800 = 70^2 \cdot 2, so 9800=702\sqrt{9800} = 70\sqrt{2}.

A cooler holds 33 gallons of juice. How many cups of juice is that?
(Note:
11 gallon =4= 4 quarts and 11 quart =4= 4 cups)

Multiply by conversion factors so the old units cancel: 3gal×4qt1gal×4cups1qt=48cups3\,\text{gal} \times \dfrac{4\,\text{qt}}{1\,\text{gal}} \times \dfrac{4\,\text{cups}}{1\,\text{qt}} = 48\,\text{cups}.

6.3×1042.1×109=\dfrac{6.3 \times 10^{-4}}{2.1 \times 10^{-9}}=

Divide coefficients and subtract exponents: 6.3÷2.1=36.3 \div 2.1 = 3 and 4(9)=5-4-(-9)=5. So the quotient is 3×105.3 \times 10^{5}\textsf{.}
