Lesson 2 - Using the PARCC Ref 6 - Assessment Reference Sheet

Sep 30, 2026

Uploaded by Aldword

Assessment reference sheet for Grades 5–8 that supports math problems using standard unit conversions and geometry formula references. Includes equivalencies for length, mass/weight, and volume (inches, meters, miles, grams/pounds/kilograms/tons, cups/pints/quarts/gallons/liters) across multiple grade levels. Provides a reference area for right rectangular prism, triangle, parallelogram, circle, prisms, cylinder, sphere, cone, and includes a Pythagorean theorem cue. Guides students to use models and reasoning to solve word problems.

Use models and explain your reasoning as you solve the following problems: 1. The Amazing Pencil-[http://www.pencils.com/story-pencils](http://www.pencils.com/story-pencils) One pencil has the potential to draw a line 35 miles long & write an average of 45,000 words. 􀁸 How many kilometers would a dozen pencils write? 􀁸 If you wrote 9,000 words with a new pencil, how much of the pencil did you use? 45,000 words 2. The small intestine is about 6.5 meters long. Use the double number line to represent how many feet the small intestines are. Meters: ~~ ~~ 3. The large intestine is only about 5 feet long. How many centimeters long is the large intestine? Use the following double line diagram to represent the information. Feet: ~~ ~~ Centimeters: ~~ ~~Write an equation to also solve this problem. 4. The mass of a lip balm is .24 ounces. Bella has 9 lip balms. How many more does she need to have a pound of lip balm? 5. Use models and explain your reasoning as you solve the following problem. Heather needs to buy at least 3 pounds of candy for Halloween She found the following three ads in the local newspaper: | Two
9.4 oz bags
