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 :
Numbers in items should not require students to perform operations with negative rational numbers or result in answers with negative rational numbers. Context in real-world items should be continuous or close to continuous. Inequalities are limited to < or >. - Calculator :
No
- Context :
Allowable
- Test Item #: Sample Item 1
