Remarks
Examples of Opportunities for In-Depth FocusBy applying properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions, students use properties of operations that they are familiar with from previous grades’ work with numbers — generalizing arithmetic in the process.
Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
- Assessment Limits :
Positive rational numbers, values may include exponents. Variables must be included in the expression. For items using distribution, coefficients may be fractions before distribution but must be integer values after simplification. Only positive rational numbers may be distributed. - Calculator :
No
- Context :
Allowable
- Test Item #: Sample Item 1
- Question:
Alyssa attends football games at her school. At each football game, she buys a bottle of water for $0.75 and a candy bar for $0.90.
Select all the expressions that represent the amount of money, in dollars, Alyssa spends after attending 6 football games.
- Difficulty: N/A
- Type: MS: Multiselect
- Test Item #: Sample Item 2
- Question: Tina sells lampshades for $7 each and paper lanterns for $4 each at a
one-day craft fair. She sells k lampshades and (k + 4) paper lanterns.
The expression 7k + 4(k + 4) represents Tina’s total sales.
Select all the equivalent expressions for Tina's total sales at the fair.

Problem-Solving Tasks
The purpose of this task is to ask students to write expressions and to consider what it means for two expressions to be equivalent.
Type: Problem-Solving Task
The purpose of this task is to give students an opportunity to solve a challenging multistep percentage problem that can be approached in several different ways. Students are asked to find the cost of a meal before tax and tip when given the total cost of the meal. The task can illustrate multiple standards depending on the prior knowledge of the students and the approach used to solve the problem.
