MATHEMATICS DESCRIPTION OF TEST FORMAT AND ORGANIZATION The Grade 7 Mathematics EOG assessment consists of a total of 73 items. You will answer a variety of item types on the test. Some of the items are selectedresponse (multiple-choice), which means you choose the correct answer from four choices. Some items will ask you to write your response. The test will be given in two sections. • You may have up to 85 minutes per section to complete Sections 1 and 2. • The test will take about 120 to 170 minutes. CONTENT The Grade 7 Mathematics EOG assessment will measure the Grade 7 standards that are described at [www.georgiastandards.org](www.georgiastandards.org). The content of the assessment covers standards that are reported under these domains: • Ratios and Proportional Relationships • The Number System • Expressions and Equations • Geometry • Statistics and Probability ITEM TYPES The Mathematics portion of the Grade 7 EOG assessment consists of selectedresponse (multiple-choice), technology-enhanced (multiple-select or two-part), constructed-response, and extended constructed-response items.

MATHEMATICS DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE EXAMPLE ITEMS Example items that represent applicable DOK levels of the Mathematics assessment are provided for you on the following pages. The items and explanations of what is expected of you to answer them will help you prepare for the test. All example and sample items contained in this guide are the property of the Georgia Department of Education . Example Item 1 Selected-Response DOK Level 1: This is a DOK level 1 item because it requires students to recall information about the order of operations. Mathematics Grade 7 Content Domain II: Expressions and Equations Standard: MGSE7 . EE.3. Solve multistep, real-life, and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals) by applying properties of operations as strategies to calculate with numbers, converting between forms as appropriate, and assessing the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: • If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. • If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation. Simplify . 218 ÷ –2 + 5–1 A . –13 B . –12 C . 12 D . 13 Correct Answer: B Explanation of Correct Answer: The correct answer is choice (B)–12. The order of operations was followed with the operations inside grouping symbols being completed first, followed by multiplying/dividing (left to right) . Choice (A) is incorrect because after the expression inside the parentheses was evaluated, an incorrect quotient was calculated: 36 ÷ 3 ≠ 13. Choice (C) is incorrect because the –1 part of the expression was not applied or was applied incorrectly. Choice (D) is incorrect because the entire problem was worked left to right without regard to the order of operations.

Example Item 2 Constructed-Response DOK Level 2: This is a DOK level 2 item because it assesses basic reasoning. Students must solve a problem demonstrating their understanding of multiplication of rational numbers. Mathematics Grade 7 Content Domain I: The Number System Standard: MGSE7.NS.2a. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division of fractions to multiply and divide rational
