Test Item Specifications

    Item Type(s): This benchmark may be assessed using: MC item(s)
    N/A

    Clarification :

    Students will identify the ordered pair that describes the location of a point on a coordinate plane.

    Students will identify the point on a coordinate plane that corresponds to a given ordered pair.

    Students may identify the location of a point on a coordinate plane that is equidistant from two points.

    Items will not include finding a specific distance between points.

    Students will describe the horizontal and vertical movements necessary to get from one point to another on a coordinate plane.

    Content Limits :
    Items may include the following terms: coordinates, coordinate plane, ordered pairs, midpoint, x-axis and y-axis, but items will not assess the vocabulary of these terms.
    Stimulus Attributes :

    All x- and y-coordinates must be whole numbers.

    Coordinate grids may have the x- and y-axes labeled.

    Coordinate grids may have arrows at the end of each axis.

    Items including the use of compass directions must include a compass rose.

    All coordinate grids must use a scale of one unit.

    Items may be set in either a real-world or a mathematical context.

    Graphics should be used in all these items.
