Mathematics, Grade 7
 Grade 7 Mathematics Test
The spring 2018 grade 7 Mathematics test was a next-generation assessment that was administered in two formats: a computer-based
version and a paper-based version. The test included both operational items, which count toward a student’s score, and matrix items.
The matrix portion of the test consisted of field-test and equating questions that do not count toward a student’s score.

Most of the operational items on the grade 7 Mathematics test were the same, regardless of whether a student took the computer-based
version or the paper-based version. In some instances, the wording of a paper item differed slightly from the computer-based version.
In places where a technology-enhanced item was used on the computer-based test, that item was typically replaced with one or more
alternative items on the paper test. These alternative items sometimes assessed the same standard as the technology-enhanced item, or
other standards from the same reporting category.

This document displays the paper-based versions of the 2018 operational items that have been released. The computer-based
versions of the released items are available on the MCAS Resource Center website at mcas.pearsonsupport.com/released-items.

Test Sessions and Content Overview

The grade 7 Mathematics test was made up of two separate test sessions. Each session included selected-response, short-answer, and
constructed-response questions. On the paper-based test, the selected-response questions were multiple-choice items and multiple-
select items, in which students select the correct answer(s) from among several answer options.

Standards and Reporting Categories

The grade 7 Mathematics test was based on standards in the five domains for grade 7 in the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework
for Mathematics (2017). The five domains are listed below.

• Ratios and Proportional Relationships

• The Number System

• Expressions and Equations

• Geometry

• Statistics and Probability

The Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics is available on the Department website at
www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/.

Mathematics test results are reported under five MCAS reporting categories, which are identical to the five framework domains listed
above.

The tables at the conclusion of this chapter provide the following information about each released and unreleased operational item:
reporting category, standard(s) covered, item type, and item description. The correct answers for released selected-response and short-
answer questions are also displayed in the released item table.

Reference Materials and Tools

Each student taking the paper-based version of the grade 7 Mathematics test was provided with a plastic ruler and a grade 7
Mathematics Reference Sheet. A copy of the reference sheet follows the final question in this chapter. An image of the ruler is not
reproduced in this publication.

During Session 2, each student had sole access to a calculator. Calculator use was not allowed during Session 1.

During both Mathematics test sessions, the use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries was allowed for current and former English
learner students only. No other reference tools or materials were allowed.

 Grade 7 Mathematics
SESSION 1
This session contains 10 questions.

You may use your reference sheet during this session.

You may not use a calculator during this session.

Directions
Read each question carefully and then answer it as well as you can. You must record
all answers in your Student Answer Booklet.

For some questions, you will mark your answers by filling in the circles in your
Student Answer Booklet. Make sure you darken the circles completely. Do not make
any marks outside of the circles. If you need to change an answer, be sure to erase
your first answer completely.

For other questions, you will need to fill in an answer grid. Directions for completing
questions with answer grids are provided on the next page.

If a question asks you to show or explain your work, you must do so to receive full
credit. Write your response in the space provided in your Student Answer Booklet.
Only responses written within the provided space will be scored.

Directions for Completing Questions with Answer Grids

1. Work the question and find an answer.
2. Enter your answer in the answer boxes at the top of the answer grid.
3. Print only one number or symbol in each box. Do not leave a blank box in
the middle of an answer.
4. Under each answer box, fill in the circle that matches the number or
symbol you wrote above. Make a solid mark that completely fills the
circle.
5. Do not fill in a circle under an unused answer box.
6. Fractions cannot be entered into an answer grid and will not be scored.
Enter fractions as decimals.
7. If you need to change an answer, be sure to erase your first answer
completely.
8. See below for examples of how to correctly complete an answer grid.

* “PBT Item Number” refers to the position of the item on the operational paper-based test. This is the item number that DESE refers to when
reporting student results for a PBT item.
** Mathematics item types are: selected-response (SR), short-answer (SA), and constructed-response (CR).
***Answers are provided here for selected-response and short-answer items only. Sample responses and scoring guidelines for any constructed-
response items will be posted to the Department’s website later this year.
