New York State Testing ProgramGrade 7Mathematics TestReleased QuestionsJune 2018New York State administered the Mathematics Tests in May 2018and is now making approximately 75% of thequestions from these tests available for review and use.
THE STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT / THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK / ALBANY, NY 12234New York State Testing ProgramGrades 3-8 MathematicsReleased Questions from 2018 ExamsBackgroundIn 2013, New York State began administering tests designed to assess student performance in accordancewith the instructional shifts and rigor demanded by the new New York State P-12 Learning Standards inMathematics. To help in this transition to new assessments, the New York State Education Department(SED) has been releasing an increasing number of test questions from the tests that were administered tostudents across the State in the spring. This year, SED is again releasing large portions of the 2018 NYSGrades 3-8 English Language Arts and Mathematics test materials for review, discussion, and use.For 2018, included in these released materials are at least 75 percent of the test questions that appearedon the 2018 tests (including all constructed-response questions) that counted toward students’ scores.Additionally, SED is also providing a map that details what each released question measures and thecorrect response to each question. These released materials will help students, families, educators, andthe public better understand the tests and the New York State Education Department’s expectations forstudents.Understanding Math QuestionsMultiple-Choice QuestionsMultiple-choice questions are designed to assess the New York State P-12 Learning Standards forMathematics. Mathematics multiple-choice questions will be used mainly to assess standard algorithmsand conceptual standards. Multiple-choice questions incorporate both the grade-level standards and the“Standards for Mathematical Practices.” Many questions are framed within the context of real-worldapplications or require students to complete multiple steps. Likewise, many of these questions are linkedto more than one standard, drawing on the simultaneous application of multiple skills and concepts.Short-Response QuestionsShort-response questions require students to complete tasks and show their work. Like multiple-choicequestions, short-response questions will often require multiple steps, the application of multiplemathematics skills, and real-world applications. Many of the short-response questions will coverconceptual and application of the standards.Extended-Response QuestionsExtended-response questions ask students to show their work in completing two or more tasks or a moreextensive problem. Extended-response questions allow students to show their understanding ofmathematical procedures, conceptual understanding, and application. Extended-response questions mayalso assess student reasoning and the ability to critique the arguments of others.
The scoring rubric for short and extended constructed-response questions can be found in the thematics.New York State P-12 Learning Standards AlignmentThe alignment(s) to the New York State P-12 Learning Standards for Mathematics is/are intended toidentify the primary analytic skills necessary to successfully answer each question. However, somequestions measure proficiencies described in multiple standards, including a balanced combination ofprocedure and conceptual understanding. For example, two-point and three-point constructed-responsequestions require students to show an understanding of mathematical procedures, concepts, andapplications.These Released Questions Do Not Comprise a “Mini Test”To ensure future valid and reliable tests, some content must remain secure for possible use on futureexams. As such, this document is not intended to be representative of the entire test, to show howoperational tests look, or to provide information about how teachers should administer the test; rather,its purpose is to provide an overview of how the test reflects the demands of the New York State P-12Learning Standards.The released questions do not represent the full spectrum of the standards assessed on the State tests,nor do they represent the full spectrum of how the standards should be taught and assessed in theclassroom. It should not be assumed that a particular standard will be measured by an identical questionin future assessments. Specific criteria for writing test questions, as well as additional assessmentinformation, are available at http://www.engageny.org/common-core-assessments.
