Ohio's Learning Standards (mathematics) — Common Core-derived (CCSS-M) — Ohio

How the Ohio State Tests reports it

Ohio's State Tests are Ohio-specific assessments built around Ohio's Learning Standards for Mathematics, which are CCSS-derived and retain the Common Core grade-level domains and (at high school) conceptual categories nearly verbatim. Math is tested in grades 3-8 and via end-of-course exams; the high-school graduation pathway uses Algebra I and Geometry, but students in an integrated sequence take Integrated Mathematics I and II in their place (these integrated courses are not given their own bands here — Integrated Math I draws on the same Algebra/Functions/Number & Quantity/Geometry/Statistics content as Algebra I plus early Geometry, and Integrated Math II adds the remaining Geometry/Functions/Probability content). The reporting categories below are the official math subscore categories Ohio publishes per test; because no public item-percentage blueprint was retrievable, the cluster-level Common Core domains those subscores cover are used (the standards' grade-level domains, which the reporting categories mirror).

Blueprint & weighting

Ohio publishes per-test math subscore (reporting) categories in its Subscore Definitions chart and raw-score subscale ranges, but no public per-category item-percentage blueprint was retrievable; the statistical summaries report the number of items per subscore by administration rather than a fixed blueprint weighting.

At a livestock auction, a calf is listed at $28$ stones. What is the calf's weight in pounds? ( $1$ stone $= 14$ pounds)

Use a conversion factor with pounds in the numerator so stones cancel: $28 \text{ stones} \times \dfrac{14 \text{ lb}}{1 \text{ stone}} = 392 \text{ lb}$ .

Write $0.04$ as a percent.

Multiply by 100: $0.04 \times 100 = 4\%$ .

A warehouse stores $160$ boxes of supplies. Workers ship $35\%$ of the boxes before noon. How many boxes are shipped before noon?

Convert $35\%$ to a decimal and multiply: $0.35 \times 160 = 56$ boxes.

A banner is $8$ yards long. How many inches is that? ( $1$ yard $= 3$ feet and $1$ foot $= 12$ inches)

Convert yards to feet, then feet to inches: $8 \text{ yd} \times \dfrac{3 \text{ ft}}{1 \text{ yd}} \times \dfrac{12 \text{ in}}{1 \text{ ft}} = 288 \text{ in}$ .

A documentary film lasts $3$ hours. How many minutes long is the film? ( $1$ hour $= 60$ minutes)

Use a conversion factor with minutes in the numerator so hours cancel: $3 \text{ hr} \times \dfrac{60 \text{ min}}{1 \text{ hr}} = 180 \text{ min}$ .

Write $0.2$ as a fraction in lowest terms.

$0.2 = \dfrac{1}{5}$ .

A novel has $1{,}200$ pages. Maya has read $15\%$ of the pages. How many pages has Maya read?

Convert $15\%$ to a decimal and multiply: $0.15 \times 1{,}200 = 180$ pages.

Practice playeasy

A recipe calls for $5$ cups of broth. How many tablespoons is that? ( $1$ cup $= 8$ fluid ounces and $1$ fluid ounce $= 2$ tablespoons)

Convert cups to fluid ounces, then fluid ounces to tablespoons: $5 \text{ cups} \times \dfrac{8 \text{ fl oz}}{1 \text{ cup}} \times \dfrac{2 \text{ tbsp}}{1 \text{ fl oz}} = 80 \text{ tbsp}$ .
