New York State Testing Program Grade 3 Common Core Mathematics Test Released Questions with Annotations
With the adoption of the New York P-12 Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS) in ELA/Literacy and Mathematics, the Board of Regents signaled a shift in both instruction and assessment. In Spring 2013, New York State administered the first set of tests designed to assess student performance in accordance with the instructional shifts and the rigor demanded by the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). To aid in the transition to new tests, New York State released a number of resources during the 2012-2013 year, including test blueprints and specifications, and criteria for writing test questions. These resources can be found at http://www.engageny.org/common-core-assessments. New York State administered the first ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Common Core tests in April 2013 and is now making a portion of the questions from those tests available for review and use. These released questions will help students, families, educators, and the public better understand how tests have changed to assess the instructional shifts demanded by the Common Core and to assess the rigor required to ensure that all students are on track to college and career readiness.

Annotated Questions Are Teaching Tools

The released questions are intended to help students, families, educators, and the public understand how the Common Core is different. The annotated questions will demonstrate the way the Common Core should drive instruction and how tests have changed to better assess student performance in accordance with the instructional shifts demanded by the Common Core. They are also intended to help educators identify how the rigor of the State tests can inform classroom instruction and local assessment. The annotations will indicate common student misunderstandings related to content standards; educators should use these to help inform unit and lesson planning. In some cases, the annotations may offer insight into particular instructional elements (conceptual thinking, visual models) that align to the Common Core that may be used in curricular design. It should not be assumed, however, that a particular standard will be measured with an identical item in future assessments. The annotated questions will include both multiple-choice and constructed-response questions. With each multiple-choice question released, a rationale will be available to demonstrate why the question measures the intended standards; why the correct answer is correct; and why each wrong answer is plausible but incorrect. The rationales describe why the wrong answer choices are plausible but incorrect and are based in common errors in computation. While these rationales will speak to a possible and likely reason for selection of the incorrect option by the student, these rationales do not contain definitive statements as to why the student chose the incorrect option or what we can infer about knowledge and skills of the student based on their selection of an incorrect response. These multiple-choice questions are designed to assess student proficiency, not to diagnose specific misconceptions/errors with each and every incorrect option. Additionally, for each constructed-response question, there will be an explanation for why the question measures the intended standards and sample student responses representing each possible score point.

Questions from the upper grades may feature more detailed annotations, as the items tend to be more complex.

Understanding Math Annotated Questions

Multiple Choice Multiple-choice questions are designed to assess CCLS for Mathematics. Mathematics multiple-choice questions will mainly be used to assess standard algorithms and conceptual standards. Multiple-choice questions incorporate both Standards and Standards for Mathematical Practices, some in real-world applications. Many multiple-choice questions require students to complete multiple steps. Likewise, many of these questions are linked to more than one standard, drawing on the simultaneous application of multiple skills and concepts. Within answer choices, distractors will all be based on plausible missteps. Short and extended constructed-response questions may refer to the scoring rubric, which can be found at www.engageny.org/resource/test-guides-for-english-language-arts-and-mathematics. Short Response Short-response questions are similar to past 2-point questions, requiring students to complete a task and show their work. Like multiple-choice questions, short-response questions will often require multiple steps, the application of multiple mathematics skills, and real-world applications. Many of the short-response questions will cover conceptual and application Standards. Extended Response Extended-response questions are similar to past 3-point questions, asking students to show their work in completing two or more tasks or a more extensive problem. Extended-response questions allow students to show their understanding of mathematical procedures, conceptual understanding, and application. Extended-response questions may also assess student reasoning and the ability to critique the arguments of others.

Released Questions Do Not Comprise a Mini Test

This document is NOT intended to show how operational tests look or to provide information about how teachers should administer the test; rather, the purpose of the released questions is to provide an overview of how the new test reflects the demands of the Common Core. The released questions do not represent the full spectrum of standards assessed on the State test, nor do they represent the full spectrum of how the Common Core should be taught and assessed in the classroom. Specific criteria for writing test questions as well as additional instruction and test information is available on www.engageny.org/common-core-assessments.

Which measure best represents the distance from 0 to point N on the number line below?

N 0
A B C D
1 unit 6 1 unit 5 1 unit 4 1 unit 3

Key: C Measured CCLS: 3.NF.2a

Commentary: The item measures 3.NF.2a because it asks the student to represent fractions on a number line diagram by defining the interval from zero to 1 as the whole and recognizing that each part defines an equal fractional part of the whole.

Extended Rationale
Answer Choice A:

between zero to 1 as the whole on a number line diagram. The student appears to have selected a response based on the partitions including the sections before zero and after 1, counting six parts. Answer Option B:

1 6

unit - This response demonstrates a limited understanding of defining the interval

equal fractional parts of a number line diagram. The student most likely selected a response based on the number of markers that define the number partition, and not the actual number of partitions that define the whole between zero and 1. Answer Option C: interval defines

1 5

unit - This response demonstrates a limited understanding of the partitioning a whole into

zero to N. There are precisely 4 equal parts represented on the number line diagram. Point N at the first unit

1 4

unit - This response correctly identifies the fractional representation of the distance from

1 4

unit of the whole defined from zero to 1.

Answer Option D:

into equal fractional parts on a number line diagram. The student likely selected a response based on the tick marks between 0 and 1 rather than the number of equal partitions between zero and 1. Answer options A, B, and D are plausible but incorrect. They show partial understanding of the mathematical concept of representing a fraction on a number line diagram. However, these responses demonstrate a lack of a thorough understanding of the application.

What number sentence is another way to represent the missing number in the equation 36 4 = ?

A B C D

4 = 36 36 4 = 36 + 4 = 4= 36

Key: A Measured CCLS: 3.OA.6

Commentary: The item measures 3.OA.6 because it asks the student to demonstrate an understanding of division as an unknown-factor problem; that is, to find 36 4 students determine the number that makes 36 when multiplied by 4.

Extended Rationale
Answer Choice A:

4 = 36 This response correctly identifies a number sentence that models multiplying

an unknown-factor by 4 to make 36. This response shows that the answer to 36 4 is the value that can be multiplied by 4 to get 36. Answer Option B:

36 4 =

This response shows limited understanding that a number sentence involving

multiplication can be used to solve a division problem. However, the selection incorrectly presents the unknown as the product, rather than a factor. Answer Option C: 36 + 4 = This response indicates little or no understanding of division as an unknown-

factor problem. The same numbers that appear in the equation are used; however, the selection may indicate a misunderstanding that adding these numbers can be used to solve the division problem. Answer Option D:

4 = 36 This response may be an attempt to apply the commutative property. While

the commutative property does allow for certain multiplication and addition expressions to be equal to one another, it is incorrectly applied here. Answer options B, C and D are plausible but incorrect. They show little or no understanding of the standard that is being assessed.

124030009_1

What is another way of expressing 8 12?

A B C D
Key: A Measured CCLS: 3.OA.5

(8 10) + (8 2) (8 1) + (8 2) (8 10) + 2 8 + (10 2)

Commentary: The item measures 3.OA.5 because it asks the student to apply the distributive property.

Extended Rationale
Answer Choice A:

(8 10) + (8 2) This is the correct application of the distributive property. The student (8 1) + (8 2) This response shows limited understanding of the distributive property; 8 12 .

rewrites the two-digit number 12 as the sum of 10 and 2, multiplies each by 8, and adds the products. Answer Option B:

the example incorrectly rewrites the two-digit number 12 as the sum of 1 and 2, but does multiply each by 8, then adds the products. This will not result in an answer equivalent to Answer Option C:

(8 10) + 2 This response is an incorrect application of the distributive property. The 8 12 .

student selects a response that correctly rewrites 12 into a sum of 10 and 2; however, multiplication by 8 is only applied to the 10 and not the 2 as well. This application will not result in an answer equivalent to Answer Option D:

8 + (10 2) This response is an incorrect application of the distributive property. The 8 12 .

student selects a response that incorrectly rewrites 12 into the product of 10 and 2 and then adds that product to 8. This will not result in an answer equivalent to Answer options B, C, and D are plausible but incorrect. An attempt to apply the distributive property was made, without the correct result.

124030032_2

Which fraction goes in the blank to make a true number sentence? 4 > 8 ?

A B C D

4 6 2 8 7 8 4 4

Key: B Measured CCLS: 3.NF.3d

Commentary: The item measures 3.NF.3d because it asks the student to compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator using an inequality symbol.

Extended Rationale
Answer Choice A: fractions with the same numerator. The student may have selected this response based on the denominator, incorrectly reasoning that a fraction with 8 parts will be greater than a fraction with 6 parts. Answer Option B:

4 - This response demonstrates that the student may not understand how to compare 6

denominator shows the number of parts of the whole and when the denominators are the same the numerators can be used directly to compare the fractions. Since 4 is greater than 2, Answer Option C:

2 - This response correctly identifies a valid comparison. The student understands that the 8 4 > 2. 8 8

with the correct inequality symbol. The student may have selected this response due to incorrectly interpreting the inequality symbol as less than rather than greater than. Answer Option D:

7 - This response demonstrates the student may not understand how to compare fractions 8

to one. Students may also have selected this response based on a comparison of the two denominators, incorrectly reasoning that a fraction with 8 parts will be greater than a fraction with 4 parts.

4 - This response demonstrates the student may not understand that 4 parts of 4 is equal 4

Answer options A, C, and D are plausible but incorrect. They show a misunderstanding of the mathematical concept of comparing fractions with the same numerator or same denominator.

Sue is going to cover her kitchen floor with tiles that are each 1 square foot. The floor is in the shape of a rectangle that is 6 feet wide and 8 feet long. How many tiles are needed to cover the floor?

KEY = 1 square foot

A B C D

14 24 28 48

Key: D Measured CCLS: 3.MD.5b; 3.MD.7a

Commentary: The item measures 3.MD5b because it asks the student to demonstrate an understanding that unit squares can be used to measure the area of a plane figure. This item also assesses 3.MD.7a because it asks the student to find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it or by understanding that the area can be found by multiplying the side lengths.

Extended Rationale
Answer Choice A: 14; This response indicates the student may not understand the concept of area measurement. The student most likely added the length and width to arrive at 14. Answer Option B: 24; This response indicates the student may have confused the concepts of area and perimeter, while also incorrectly calculating the perimeter. The student likely attempted to calculate the perimeter by counting the unit squares along the edges of the figure. Answer Option C: 28; This response indicates the student may have confused the concepts of area and perimeter. The perimeter of the figure is 28 units. Answer Option D: 48; This response correctly identifies the area of the floor and the number of tiles needed to cover the floor. The student could have counted the tiles to find the area or multiplied side lengths,

8 6 = 48 .
Answer options A, B, and C are plausible but incorrect. They do not indicate a thorough understanding of concepts of area measurement.

124030041_2

What is the area, in square units, of the shaded part of the figure?

KEY = 1 square unit

A B C D

18 20 22 42

Key: B Measured CCLS: 3.MD.6

Commentary: This item measures 3.MD.6 because it calls on students to measure area by counting unit squares.

Extended Rationale
Answer Choice A: 18; This response indicates that the student may have confused the concepts of area and perimeter. The perimeter of the figure is 18 units. Answer Option B: 20; This response correctly identifies the area of the shaded part of the figure. There are 20 unit squares that are shaded. Answer Option C: 22; This response is likely the result of counting the unshaded unit squares. A student that selects this response may understand that area can be determined by counting unit squares, but did not count the unit squares in the shaded part of the figure. Answer Option D: 42; The response is likely the result of counting all the unit squares provided. A student that selects this response may understand that area can be determined by counting the number of unit squares, but counted more than just the unit squares in the shaded part of the figure. Answer options A, C, and D are plausible responses but incorrect. They show partial understanding of the mathematical concept of measuring area by counting unit squares. However, responses demonstrate a lack of a thorough understanding of the application.

124030003_3

The number of objects described in which situation can be represented by 24 4?

A B C D

There are 24 boxes with 4 pencils in each box. There are 24 people on a bus, and 4 people get off the bus. There are 24 marbles that need to be sorted into 4 equal groups. There are 24 books on a shelf, and 4 more books are put on the shelf.

Key: C Measured CCLS: 3.OA.2

Commentary: The item measures 3.OA.2 because it asks the student to interpret whole-number quotients; such as the number of objects in each group when the objects are partitioned equally into groups.

Extended Rationale
Answer Choice A: There are 24 boxes with 4 pencils in each box. This response uses the numbers provided in the stem, but is a situation where multiplication is the operation used to relate 24 and 4. Answer Option B: There are 24 people on a bus, and 4 people get off the bus. This response uses the numbers provided in the stem, but is a situation where subtraction is the operation used to relate 24 and 4. Answer Option C: There are 24 marbles that need to be sorted into 4 equal groups. This is the correct interpretation of the quotient,

24 4 , as it involves partitioning or dividing 24 objects into 4 equal groups.

Answer Option D: There are 24 books on a shelf, and 4 more books are put on the shelf. This response uses the numbers provided in the stem, but is a situation where addition is the operation used to relate 24 and 4. Answer options A, B, and D are plausible responses but incorrect. They use the whole numbers provided in the stem.

The garden below was divided into two regionsone for carrots and one for peas.

Carrots

Peas

KEY = 1 square unit

Which expression represents the area, in square units, of the whole garden?

A B C D

(5 + 10) + (5 + 6) (5 10) (5 6) (5 10) + (5 6) (5 + 10) (5 + 6)

Key: C Measured CCLS: 3.MD.7c

Commentary: This item measures 3.MD.7c because it asks the student to relate the area found by tiling to the calculation of area using the distributive property.

Extended Rationale
Answer Choice A:

(5 + 10) + (5 + 6) This response indicates an understanding that the region for the

carrots and the region for the peas must be added together, but the student may not understand the procedure for finding the area of each region. Answer Option B: (5 10 ) (5 6 ) This response indicates an understanding of finding the area of each region, but the student may not understand that after finding the area of each region the areas must be added together. Answer Option C:

(5 10) + (5 6) This is the correct expression which can be used to find the area of the whole garden. The area of both regions together can be found by multiplying 5 16. This product can be found also by rewriting 16 as the sum of 10 and 6 and distributing the 5 to both of those terms as shown in answer choice C. As a result the student finds the area of the region for the carrots (5 10) and then the region for the peas (5 6), and adds the two together.

Answer Option D: (5 + 10 ) (5 + 6 ) This response may indicate a misunderstanding of the procedure for finding area by tiling; the student may also not understand that after finding the area of each region the areas must be added together. Answer options A, B, and D are plausible but incorrect. An attempt to relate area to multiplication and addition using the distributive property was made, but without the desired result.

Which number represents the location of point P on the number line below?

P 0
A B C D
2 7 2 6 3 7 2 4

Key: B Measured CCLS: 3.NF.2b

Commentary: This item measures 3.NF.2b because it asks the student to identify a location on a number line diagram using a fraction. In order to identify the correct location students recognize that the number of equal intervals between 0 and 1 represent the denominator of the fraction while the numerator represents the number of equal intervals between 0 and P.

Extended Rationale
Answer Choice A: equal intervals between 0 and 1 using the number of tick marks on the number line diagram rather than the actual number of equal intervals between 0 and 1.

2 This response incorrectly identifies the denominator, likely by counting the number of 7

A B C D

119 121 363 745

Key: A Measured CCLS: 3.OA.8

Commentary: The item measures 3.OA.8 because it asks the student to solve a two-step word problem using two of the four operations, specifically addition and subtraction.

Extended Rationale
Answer Choice A: 119; This response indicates a clear understanding of the process involved to correctly solve the problem. The student most likely added the number of miles driven on Friday and Saturday and then subtracted the sum from the total miles driven to arrive at the correct answer. Answer Option B: 121; This response may indicate an understanding of the process involved to solve the problem, but lacks precision. The student may have added the number of miles driven on Friday and Saturday and but then incorrectly subtracted the sum from the total miles driven. Answer Option C: 363; This response indicates the student may not understand the two-step process required to correctly solve the problem. The student likely added the number of miles driven on Friday and Saturday but failed to complete the process of subtracting the sum from the total miles driven. Answer Option D: 745; This response indicates the student may not understand the process to correctly solve the problem and may also lack precision. Selection of this response suggests that the student may have added all of the numbers given in the problem and also encountered a regrouping error when adding in the hundreds column. Answer options B, C, and D are plausible but incorrect. They show either limited understanding of the mathematical process or lack of precision required to solve the problem. In the case of answer option D, both occur.

A bake sale had the 3 cakes, as shown below, for sale.

Each cake was cut into 6 slices. Each slice was sold for $5. What was the total amount earned for the sale of all the cakes? Show your work.

Answer $________________________

11

Measured CCLS: 3.OA.8

Commentary: This item measures 3.OA.8 because it asks the student to solve a two-step word problem using multiplication. Extended Rationale: The correct answer of $90 could be arrived at by first multiplying the number of cakes by the number of slices for each cake: 3 6 = 18 . This shows that there are 18 slices of cake, in all, if each cake is cut into 6 slices. Then the student must multiply the number of slices by the cost of each slice:

18 5 = 90 . The total amount earned for the sale of all the pieces in all three cakes is $90.

KEY = 1 square unit

22

Measured CCLS: 3.MD.7a; 3MD.7d

Commentary: This item measures 3.MD.7a because it asks the student to find the area of a rectangle with whole number side lengths by tiling it with unit squares. It also measures 3.MD.7d because asking students to create a new figure from the given rectangles with a specified area demonstrates an understanding that area is additive; adding the areas of smaller, component parts will yield the area of an entire region. Extended Rationale: The correct answer to the first part of the item is determined by finding the area of each shaded rectangle. The process can be achieved either by forming square units based on tiling and counting the units, or by multiplying side lengths. With this process, the student would determine that rectangle C and rectangle D both have the area of 12 square units. The student could explain that rectangle C has side lengths of 2 units and 6 units; multiplying the side lengths would equal an area of 12 square units. Rectangle D has side lengths of 3 units and 4 units; multiplying these side lengths would also equal 12 square units. With the second part of the item, the student could find three rectangles that have compatible lengths and widths which can be combined to form one large figure. Some students may recognize that rectangles A, B and C all have one side length that is 2 units wide. The length of the three rectangles combined is 11 units. The student could either multiply side lengths or count unit squares to determine that rectangles A, B, and C combined in any arrangement would form a figure that has an area of 22 square units. Students may also calculate the area of all five rectangles and employ a different set of three rectangles that leads to a total area of 22 square units, such as A, B, and D.
