How the Star Math reports it

Star Math is Renaissance’s proprietary adaptive assessment, not a shared framework like SBAC or NAEP. The page describes research-based, state-specific learning progressions aligned to English and Spanish, rather than a single common external blueprint.

Blueprint & weighting

Star Math uses the Independent / state-specific framework (strands structure).

Which expression is equivalent to $7 + m^{2} + 2$ ?

The constants $7$ and $2$ are like terms: $7 + 2 = 9$ . The term $m^{2}$ stays the same, so the expression is equivalent to $m^{2} + 9\textsf{.}$

$|3x - 12| = 24$

Which of the following gives both solutions to the given equation?

The equation means $3x - 12 = 24$ or $3x - 12 = -24$ . Adding $12$ gives $3x = 36$ or $3x = -12$ . Dividing by $3$ gives $x = 12$ or $x = -4$ . Both solutions are $-4$ and $12\textsf{.}$

If $|6x + 12| = 48$ , what is the positive value of $x + 2$ ?

Rewrite $|6x + 12| = |6(x + 2)| = |6|\,|x + 2| = 6|x + 2|$ . Since $6|x + 2| = 48$ , divide by $6$ to get $|x + 2| = 8$ . The expression $x + 2$ equals $8$ or $-8$ ; the positive value is $8\textsf{.}$

Which is the completely factored form of $20x^{2} - 30x$ ?

The greatest common factor of $20x^{2}$ and $30x$ is $10x\textsf{.}$ Factoring gives $10x(2x - 3)$ .

A car rental allows a trip length $d$ , in days, that is at least $2$ days but less than $7$ days. Which inequality represents the possible values of $d$ ?

At least $2$ gives $d \ge 2$ . Less than $7$ gives $d < 7$ , so $2 \le d < 7$ .

A student needs $7$ ounces of chocolate. Each candy bar is $4$ ounces. What is the least number of candy bars the student should buy?

$7 \div 4 = 1.75\textsf{.}$ A bar cannot be bought in a fraction, and $1$ bar is only $4$ ounces. Two bars are $8$ ounces, which meets the $7$ ounces needed.
