What the test measures

Measurement and Data skills

  1. Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system

  2. Represent and interpret data on a line plot

  3. Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit

  4. Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement

  5. Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume

How the PSSA reports it

PSSA is Pennsylvania’s own standards-based, criterion-referenced assessment. Its math reporting structure is built on the Pennsylvania Academic Standards/Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content rather than a separate multi-state framework, and it closely mirrors CCSS-style grade-level domains.

Blueprint & weighting

The official PSSA page lists the Mathematics Test Design and grade-level item/scoring samplers, but the accessible source excerpt did not expose a usable per-domain percentage blueprint; no reliable item-weight table was recoverable from the available primary page text.

A line plot (in cups) shows 3 at 12\tfrac{1}{2}, 1 at 14\tfrac{1}{4}. What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total =74= \tfrac{7}{4}.

Practice playeasy

A rectangular box is 99 m long, 22 m wide, and 1010 m tall. Find its volume.

Volume =lwh=9210=180= l \cdot w \cdot h = 9 \cdot 2 \cdot 10 = 180 cubic m.

A line plot (in cups) shows 2 at 34\tfrac{3}{4}, 2 at 14\tfrac{1}{4}. What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total =21= \tfrac{2}{1}.

Practice playeasy

A rectangular box is 44 m long, 1010 m wide, and 22 m tall. Find its volume.

Volume =lwh=4102=80= l \cdot w \cdot h = 4 \cdot 10 \cdot 2 = 80 cubic m.

Practice playeasy

A line plot (in cups) shows 2 at 18\tfrac{1}{8}, 2 at 38\tfrac{3}{8}, 1 at 12\tfrac{1}{2}. What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total =32= \tfrac{3}{2}.

Practice playeasy

A rectangular box is 88 in long, 22 in wide, and 88 in tall. Find its volume.

Volume =lwh=828=128= l \cdot w \cdot h = 8 \cdot 2 \cdot 8 = 128 cubic in.

Practice playeasy

A line plot (in cups) shows 2 at 23\tfrac{2}{3}, 2 at 13\tfrac{1}{3}. What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total =21= \tfrac{2}{1}.

Practice playeasy

Find the volume of a rectangular prism with l=9l = 9, w=1w = 1, h=2h = 2.

Apply V=lwhV = l \cdot w \cdot h: 912=189 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 18.
