General Information
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.
Test Item Specifications
Items requiring operations on fractions must adhere to the Assessment Limits for that operation’s corresponding standard.

| Sample Item 1 | A line plot with Kelly's lengths of ribbons is shown.
What is the total length, in inches, of the longest piece and shortest piece of ribbon? |
N/A | EE: Equation Editor |
| Sample Item 2 | A line plot with Kelly's lengths of ribbons is shown. She adds another ribbon so that the difference between the longest ribbon and shortest ribbon is
What length of ribbon, in inches, could Kelly have added? |
N/A | EE: Equation Editor |
| Sample Item 3 | A line plot with Kelly’s ribbon lengths is shown. She adds two more ribbons so that the total length of ribbon is 200 inches.
What are two possible lengths of ribbon, in inches, that Kelly could have added? |
N/A | EE: Equation Editor |
| Sample Item 4 | Kelly has nine pieces of ribbon. She recorded the length of each piece in
the line plot shown.
What is the total length of the three longest pieces of ribbon?
