Nevada SBAC Grade 6 Concepts and Procedures Practice

Nevada SBAC Grade 6 Concepts and Procedures. Practice it free.

Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency. Content is drawn from the Grade 6 clusters listed as targets below, with a much greater proportion from clusters the blueprint designates as priority (major) clusters. This Grade 6 reporting domain maps to 25 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.

How the Nevada SBAC reports it

Nevada administers the consortium Smarter Balanced mathematics summative assessment in grades 3-8 (Nevada Department of Education, Office of Assessments); grade 11 students take the ACT as Nevada's college and career readiness assessment, so the state has no high-school Smarter Balanced administration. The test uses the consortium's shared structure: Claim 1 (Concepts and Procedures) publishes per-grade assessment targets that are verbatim CCSS-M cluster headings; Claims 2-4 are cross-cutting process claims whose targets are constant across grades and draw on the same grade-level content. On score reports, Claims 2 and 4 are combined into a single reporting category, so three claim scores accompany the overall math score.

Blueprint & weighting

Content Specifications (Reporting Categories section): the total mathematics score is a weighted composite of the four claims — Claim 1 (Concepts and Procedures) contributes roughly 50%, Claim 3 (Communicating Reasoning) roughly 25%, and combined Claims 2 and 4 (Problem Solving / Modeling and Data Analysis) about 25%. The summative blueprint (as of 2018-19) publishes item counts per test event rather than percentages: Claim 1 is 17-20 items in grades 3-5 and 16-20 in grades 6-8; the Claim 2/4 and Claim 3 reporting categories are 8-10 items each, totaling 18-20 across the two.

What is $7.00 + 1.62$ ?

$7.00 + 1.62 = 8.62$ .

What is $\dfrac{3}{6} \times \dfrac{5}{8}$ ?

Multiply across: $\dfrac{3 \times 5}{6 \times 8} = \dfrac{15}{48} = \dfrac{5}{16}$ .

What is $|-2|$ ?

Absolute value gives the non-negative distance from $0$ , so $|-2| = 2$ .

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

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

A rhombus has diagonals of length $9\text{ dm}$ and $12\text{ dm}\textsf{.}$ What is its area?

The area of a rhombus is half the product of the diagonals: $\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 9 \cdot 12 = 54\text{ dm}^{2}\textsf{.}$

A class answered the statistical question "How many pages did you read this week?" The answers were $12, 15, 15, 18, 20, 15$ . How many students were interviewed?

Each answer in the list is one student. Count every value, including repeats: there are $6$ answers, so $6$ students were interviewed.

A student is writing questions about trees. Which of these is a statistical question?

A statistical question anticipates variability: many people or things can give different answers. "How tall are the trees in the park?" asks about many trees, so the heights can differ. It is a statistical question.

On the real number line, how many integers are strictly between $-\dfrac{91}{5}$ and $-\dfrac{12}{4}$ ?

Convert: $-\dfrac{91}{5} = -18.2$ and $-\dfrac{12}{4} = -3$ . Integers $n$ with $-18.2 < n < -3$ are $-18, -17, \ldots, -4$ . Count with $-4 - (-18) + 1$ : subtracting endpoints gives the gap between them; the $+1$ counts both $-18$ and $-4$ inclusive.
