Skill Statements: The Skill Statement gives the reader direction on how an assessment item is written. The Skill Statement describes what information may be given and/or the format of that information. In addition, the Skill Statement describes how the student is expected to respond to the item.

Goal 2 Geometry, Measurement, And Reasoning

Expectation 2.3 The student will apply concepts of measurement using tools and technology when appropriate.

Indicator 2.3.2 The student will use techniques of measurement and will estimate, calculate, and/or compare perimeter, circumference, area, volume, and/or surface area of two-and three-dimensional figures and their parts.

Assessment Limits:

  • Two-dimensional shapes include polygons, circles, and composite figures.
  • Three-dimensional shapes include cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures.
  • Formulas will be provided.
  • No oblique solids will be used.
  • Items may involve applications of geometric properties and relationships.
  • Students may be required to make comparisons which do not require calculations.
