Common Core State Test | Grade 5 | Questions

Item KEY Rationale

42 4 points In order to receive 4 points, students need to correctly answer all

parts of Part A and Part B. Part B should include a thorough

explanation of their answer.

Part A: Students must recognize that they can create ordered pairs

from the data in the table. The ordered pairs are as follows:

(1,1) (2,2) (3,4) (4,5) (5,7) (6,11) (7,13) (8,14) (9,15) (10,16)

Each ordered pair should be correctly plotted on the coordinate

grid.

Week

Part B: Students should correctly answer that the plant made the

greatest amount of growth between week 5 and 6. They should

also explain that this is shown on the grid as the points make the

greatest vertical jump between those two weeks (7 inches to 10

inches)

3 points In order to receive 3 points, students may answer all parts of Part

A and Part B, but they may not have a thorough explanation of

how the completed coordinate grid shows the greatest amount of

growth between weeks 5 and 6.

2 points In order to receive 2 points, students may

make a mistake on Part A, which then causes them to make a

math mistake on Part B, as well. (Example: incorrectly plot the

points on the graph

only answer one part correctly.

OR

fail to explain in a way that lets the teacher know the student

can interpret the completed grid correctly.

1 points To receive 1 point, students may get one part of the answer correct

(such as plotting the points on the grid).

0 points To receive 0 points, the student must leave the answer blank or get

no parts of the problem correct.

Is Tyrese’s answer reasonable? Decide without solving (using mental estimation or

Student’s response clearly shows fraction number sense, including

(but not limited to)...

3 points Student explains that Tyrese’s answer is not reasonable. Student’s

response clearly shows fraction number sense, including (but not

limited to) the examples above, however the student makes 1

mistake or leaves out 1 part.

2 points Student states that Tyrese’s answer is not reasonable. Student’s

response shows some fraction number sense (correct benchmarks

or estimation value for individual fractions), but the student does

not connect this to the overall equation or parts of the explanation

are unclear.

1 points Student’s response shows some fraction number sense (correct

benchmarks or estimation value for individual fractions), but the

student makes 1 or 2 mistakes AND parts of the explanation are

unclear.

OR

Student explains that Tyrese added the denominators when he

should have found common denominators, which is not the correct

algorithm. However, the student does not give an explanation that

shows fraction number sense.

0 points The student leaves the response blank.

OR

The student makes more than 2 mistakes when estimating or using

fraction benchmarks.

OR

The student’s explanation shows little to no fraction number sense.
