Test Item Specifications
  • Item Type(s): This benchmark may be assessed using: MC item(s)

  • Clarification :
    Students will identify ordered pairs or the location of a point on a coordinate grid (e.g., performing movement on the grid).

    Students will identify characteristics of points located in each of the four quadrants, or on the x- and y-axes (i.e., all points in quadrant III have negative x- and negative y-coordinates).
  • Content Limits :
    Scales on graphs used in items must be in increments of 1 for both the x- and y-axes.

    Both coordinates of all points used in items must be between -10 and 10, inclusive.

    Items will not include finding the midpoint of a segment, the slope of a line, or use of the distance formula.

    Items will not include determining the x- or y-intercepts of a line.
  • Stimulus Attributes :
    Items should be set in a real-world or mathematical context.

    Graphics must be used within all of these items.

    Items should present a coordinate plane and should require the use of coordinate geometry to locate and/or describe points.
