PARCC Grades 6-8 Geometry Practice — Sports Academy Games

What the test measures

Geometry skills

Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres

Standards basis

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) / PARCC Model Content Frameworks — national

How the PARCC reports it

PARCC was a multistate assessment system built around the Common Core-era PARCC mathematics model content frameworks rather than a separate proprietary standards set. Its math structure is organized by grade/course and aligned to CCSS-M content categories and model content frameworks.

Find the volume of a cylinder with radius $3$ and height $2$ . Use $\pi = 3$ .

$V = \pi r^{2} h = 3 \times 9 \times 2 = 54$ .

A cylinder has radius $2$ and height $3$ . Using $\pi = 3$ , what is its volume?

$V = \pi r^2 h = 3 \times 4 \times 3 = 36$ .

Two lines cross. One angle formed is $75°$ . What is the vertical angle?

Vertical angles are equal, so the angle is $75°$ .

A circle has a diameter of $16$ inches. What is the area, in square inches, of the circle?

The radius is half the diameter: $r = \dfrac{16}{2} = 8$ . The area is $A = \pi r^{2} = \pi(8)^{2} = 64\pi\textsf{.}$

Find the area of a parallelogram with base $b = 2$ and height $h = 9$ .

Parallelogram area $= b \cdot h = 2 \cdot 9 = 18$ .

Similar triangles $RST$ and $UVW$ have perimeters $28$ and $42\textsf{.}$ Side $RS$ corresponds to side $UV\textsf{,}$ and $RS = 10\textsf{.}$ What is the length of $UV\textsf{?}$

The scale factor from $\triangle RST$ to $\triangle UVW$ is $\dfrac{42}{28} = \dfrac{3}{2}\textsf{.}$ So $UV = 10 \cdot \dfrac{3}{2} = 15\textsf{.}$
