MC
item(s)
- Clarification :
Students will approximate square roots and use approximations for irrational numbers to estimate solutions to real-world problems. - Content Limits :
Items may include the relationships among fractions, decimals, or numbers expressed as percents, with at least one square root included, given a real-world context.
The place values of the fractional part of decimal numbers should range from tenths through ten-thousandths.
Items should require students to determine the effects of operations on real numbers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponents, and finding square roots.
Items that require determining inverses may include adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, squaring, and extracting roots.
Items may include simplified expressions using integers, exponents, radicals, and ratios; large and small numbers in standard scientific notation; or absolute values.
Numbers may exceed the limits specified in the General Content Limits by Grade Level section when the numbers are represented in word form (e.g., fifty billion) or as denominate numbers (e.g., 4.3 trillion).
Negative exponents should be used in standard scientific notation only.
Items may contain multiple forms of a given value.
- Stimulus Attributes :
Items should be set in a real-world or mathematical context.
