Nevada SBAC Grade 7 Concepts and Procedures Practice

Nevada SBAC Grade 7 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 7 clusters listed as targets below, with a much greater proportion from clusters the blueprint designates as priority (major) clusters. This Grade 7 reporting domain maps to 27 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.

In a random sample of 20, 7 were voters favoring the plan. Estimate how many of 100 are favoring in the whole population.

Proportion $= \dfrac{7}{20}$ . Estimate $= \dfrac{7}{20} \times 100 = 35$ .

Similar rectangles $WXYZ$ and $ABCD$ have areas $16$ and $64\textsf{.}$ Side $WX$ corresponds to side $AB\textsf{,}$ and $WX = 5\textsf{.}$ What is the length of $AB\textsf{?}$

The area ratio is $\dfrac{64}{16} = 4 = k^{2}\textsf{,}$ so the scale factor is $k = 2\textsf{.}$ Then $AB = 5 \cdot 2 = 10\textsf{.}$

A triangle has sides of length $4$ and $11\textsf{.}$ Which inequality represents the possible lengths, $x\textsf{,}$ of the remaining side?

The triangle inequality requires $|11 - 4| < x < 11 + 4\textsf{.}$ Simplifying gives $7 < x < 15\textsf{.}$

For a school fundraiser, students sold raffle tickets in four ways. Exactly $\dfrac{1}{5}$ of the tickets were sold at a walk-up table, exactly $\dfrac{1}{6}$ were sold during a pre-sale, $24$ tickets were sold by mail, and $14$ tickets were sold at the school office. How many raffle tickets were sold in all?

Let $x$ be the total. Walk-up and pre-sale tickets make $\dfrac{1}{5}x + \dfrac{1}{6}x = \dfrac{11}{30}x$ . The mail and office tickets total $24 + 14 = 38$ , so $\dfrac{19}{30}x = 38$ and $x = 60$ .

A diving board may be used only when the pool depth is at least $10.0$ feet. The water is currently $8.4$ feet deep. What is the minimum increase needed in the water depth, in feet, so that the diving board may be used?

The depth must be at least $10.0$ feet. The minimum increase is $10.0 - 8.4 = 1.6\textsf{.}$

Solve for $x$ : $x + 5 = -3$ .

Subtract 5 from both sides: $x = -8$ .
