Standards-based Assessment Bank 4 th Grade Mathematics Geometry and Spatial Sense Keywords: geometry, shapes, cone, cylinder For example, the response may: • State that the cone could be put on top of the cylinder. • Be blank or state unrelated statements. • Recopy information from the stem. Benchmark: G Find and name locations in coordinate systems. GLI: Multiple Choice Question: 18. Mr. Yang is driving to the school located at (2, 0) on the coordinate grid.

Standards-based Assessment Bank 4 th Grade Mathematics Geometry and Spatial Sense Commentary: This multiple-choice question asks students to identify a school by its ordered pair on a coordinate grid. Students need to know that the first number in an ordered pair indicates the number of units to move horizontally from the origin and the second number in an ordered pair indicates the number of units to move vertically. To find the name of the school with the ordered pair (2, 0), Mr. Yang moves 2 units vertically to the right from the origin and then remains at that point because the zero in the ordered pair tells Mr. Yang to stay at the same point and to move vertically. The correct answer is answer choice A. Answer choice C (0, 2) may be the result of forgetting that horizontal move from the origin (over) has to be done first, before the vertical move. Answer choices B (5, 4) and D (5, 2) are also incorrect because the ordered pairs of those schools are different then (2, 0). The level of complexity for this question is Low Complexity. This question requires students to recall how points are associated with their coordinates. Performance Data: The percent of public school students selecting answer choice A for question 18 on the March 2006 Grade 4 Achievement Test was 79%. Keywords: geometry, point, ordered pair, coordinate grid Benchmark: B Describe and identify points, lines and planes in the environment. GLI: Multiple Choice Question: 21. A bug lands on a rope stretched between two trees on a lawn at a park. Source: ODE 5 of 17 Burke, Halley, Daly (SST Region 11, Oct 07)
