Standards basis

New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Mathematics (NJSLS-M), aligned to Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) — New Jersey

How the NJSLA reports it

NJSLA math is built on the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Mathematics, which closely follow the Common Core domain structure and progressions. The assessment is organized by grade-level and end-of-course reporting aligned to those standards rather than by a separate proprietary framework.

Blueprint & weighting

NJDOE publishes statewide assessment administration information and grade/course coverage, but no official public math-domain weighting blueprint was located in the retrieved primary materials.

A beetle is measured at $80$ millimeters long. What is the length in centimeters? ( $1$ centimeter $= 10$ millimeters)

Use a conversion factor with centimeters in the numerator so millimeters cancel: $80 \text{ mm} \times \dfrac{1 \text{ cm}}{10 \text{ mm}} = 8 \text{ cm}$ .

Write $\dfrac{4}{5}$ as a percent.

$\dfrac{4}{5} = 0.8 = 80\%$ .

A banquet hall sets out $360$ chairs. Guests have reserved $45\%$ of the chairs. How many chairs have been reserved?

Convert $45\%$ to a decimal and multiply: $0.45 \times 360 = 162$ chairs.

A cooler holds $4$ gallons of lemonade. How many pints is that? ( $1$ gallon $= 4$ quarts and $1$ quart $= 2$ pints)

Convert gallons to quarts, then quarts to pints: $4 \text{ gal} \times \dfrac{4 \text{ qt}}{1 \text{ gal}} \times \dfrac{2 \text{ pt}}{1 \text{ qt}} = 32 \text{ pt}$ .

At a riding stable, a pony is measured at $15$ hands tall. How many inches tall is the pony? ( $1$ hand $= 4$ inches)

Use a conversion factor with inches in the numerator so hands cancel: $15 \text{ hands} \times \dfrac{4 \text{ in}}{1 \text{ hand}} = 60 \text{ in}$ .

Write $5\%$ as a decimal.

Divide by 100: $5\% = 0.05$ .

A parking lot has $320$ spaces. During lunch, cars fill $40\%$ of the spaces. How many spaces are filled during lunch?

Convert $40\%$ to a decimal and multiply: $0.40 \times 320 = 128$ spaces.

A science fair project runs for $3$ weeks. How many hours is that? ( $1$ week $= 7$ days and $1$ day $= 24$ hours)

Convert weeks to days, then days to hours: $3 \text{ wk} \times \dfrac{7 \text{ d}}{1 \text{ wk}} \times \dfrac{24 \text{ hr}}{1 \text{ d}} = 504 \text{ hr}$ .
