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.

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

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

Practice playeasy

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 $A = \pi r^{2} = \pi(8)^{2} = 64\pi\textsf{.}$

A rhombus has diagonals of length $8\text{ mm}$ and $9\text{ mm}\textsf{.}$ What is its area?

The area of a rhombus is half the product of the diagonals: $\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot 9 = 36\text{ mm}^{2}\textsf{.}$

A circle has radius $1$ . Using $\pi = 3$ , what is its circumference?

$C = 2\pi r = 2 \times 3 \times 1 = 6$ .
