Topic
C. Number Computation
Indicator
- 1. Analyze number relations and compute
Objectives
- Add whole numbers
Assessment limit: Use up to 3 addends with no more than 4 digits in each addend and whole numbers (0 - 10,000)
- Subtract whole numbers
Assessment limit: Use a minuend and subtrahend with no more than 4 digits in each and whole numbers (0 – 9999)
- Multiply whole numbers
Assessment limit: Use a one 1-digit factor by up to a 3-digit factor using whole numbers (0 – 1000)
- Divide whole numbers
Assessment limit: Use up to a 3-digit dividend by a 1-digit divisor and whole numbers with no remainders (0 - 999)
- Add and subtract proper fractions and mixed numbers
Assessment limit: Use 2 proper fractions with a single digit like denominators, 2 mixed numbers with single digit like denominators, or a whole number and a proper fraction with a single digit denominator and numbers (0 – 20)
- Add 2 decimals
Assessment limit: Use the same number of decimal places but no more than 2 decimal places and no more than 4 digits including monetary notation and numbers (0 – 100)
- Subtract decimals
Assessment limit: Use the same number of decimal places but no more than 2 decimal places and no more than 4 digits including monetary notation and numbers (0 – 100)
Indicator
- 2. Estimation
Objectives
- Determine the approximate sum and difference of 2 numbers
Assessment limit: Use no more than 2 decimal places in each and numbers (0 – 100)
- Determine the approximate product or quotient of 2 numbers
Assessment limit: Use a 1-digit factor with the other factor having no more than 2-digits or a 1-digit divisor and no more than a 2-digit dividend and whole numbers (0 – 1000)
Note: Highlighted assessment limits will be tested in the no calculator section of MSA. In the assessment limit, (0-10) or (-10 to 10) means all numbers in the problem or the answer will fall within the range of 0 to 10 (including endpoints) or -10 to 10 (including endpoints), respectively. All content standards are tested in MSA but not all objectives. Objectives that have an assessment limit are tested on MSA. Objectives without an assessment limit are not tested on MSA.
