What the test measures

Geometry skills

  1. Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles

  2. Find the volume of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths

  3. Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices

  4. Find the length of horizontal and vertical segments in the coordinate plane

  5. Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles

How the NeSA reports it

Nebraska’s statewide math assessment is administered through NSCAS, but the official assessment page does not publish a test-specific math blueprint or reporting-category document on the page reviewed. In the absence of a public blueprint, the most defensible coverage map is the Nebraska College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics, which are the state’s current standards basis and closely mirror Common Core-style grade-level domains.

Blueprint & weighting

No public test blueprint or per-domain item weighting was located on the Nebraska Department of Education assessment page reviewed. The page references NSCAS testing windows and general statewide assessment materials, but not math reporting-category percentages.

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

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.

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a triangle with base b=4b = 4 and height h=8h = 8.

Triangle area =12⋅b⋅h=12⋅4⋅8=16= \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 4 \cdot 8 = 16.

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a parallelogram with base b=5b = 5 and height h=10h = 10.

Parallelogram area =b⋅h=5⋅10=50= b \cdot h = 5 \cdot 10 = 50.

Practice playeasy

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

Trapezoid area =12(b1+b2)⋅h=12(6+10)⋅7=12(16)⋅7=56= \dfrac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2) \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2}(6 + 10) \cdot 7 = \dfrac{1}{2}(16) \cdot 7 = 56.

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a parallelogram with base b=4b = 4 and height h=6h = 6.

Parallelogram area =b⋅h=4⋅6=24= b \cdot h = 4 \cdot 6 = 24.

Practice playeasy

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.

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.
