What the test measures

Expressions and Equations skills

  1. 7.EE.A.1 Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients

  2. 7.EE.A.2 Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms can serve a purpose

  3. 7.EE.B.3 Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers

  4. 7.EE.B.4 Use variables to represent quantities and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems

  5. 7.EE.B.4a Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r

  6. 7.EE.B.4b Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r

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 ride at a fair requires a height of at least 48.048.0 inches. A child is 45.545.5 inches tall. What is the minimum increase needed in the child's height, in inches, so that the child meets the requirement?

The height must be at least 48.048.0 inches. The minimum increase is 48.0−45.5=2.5.48.0 - 45.5 = 2.5\textsf{.}

Airline rules allow a carry-on bag to weigh at most 50.050.0 pounds. A bag weighs 52.852.8 pounds. What is the minimum decrease needed in the bag's weight, in pounds, so that it meets the rule?

The bag must weigh at most 50.050.0 pounds. The minimum decrease is 52.8−50.0=2.8.52.8 - 50.0 = 2.8\textsf{.}

Solve for mm: m−4=2m - 4 = 2.

Subtract 4 from both sides: m=6m = 6.

A band competition allows an instrument case's length, width, and height to total at most 62.062.0 inches. A case measures 65.465.4 inches in total. What is the minimum decrease needed in that total, in inches, so that the case meets the rule?

The total must be at most 62.062.0 inches. The minimum decrease is 65.4−62.0=3.4.65.4 - 62.0 = 3.4\textsf{.}

Solve for kk: k+3=5k + 3 = 5.

Isolate kk: k=2k = 2.

A library reading room must keep noise at a level of at most 65.065.0 decibels. A meter shows 68.568.5 decibels. What is the minimum decrease needed in the noise level, in decibels, so that the room meets the rule?

The noise level must be at most 65.065.0 decibels. The minimum decrease is 68.5−65.0=3.5.68.5 - 65.0 = 3.5\textsf{.}
