Test Item Specifications

    Item Type(s): This benchmark may be assessed using: MC item(s)
    At Grade 3, this benchmark will be assessed using MC items.

    Clarification :

    Students will find the measure of objects to the nearest whole or fractional parts of linear units such as ¼, ½, ¾ of an inch.


    Students will find the measure of objects to the nearest whole millimeter and/or centimeter.
    Content Limits :
    Items that require students to measure objects using the provided ruler will be less than 6 inches or 15 centimeters. 

    If an object is greater than 6 inches or 15 centimeters, then part of the object may be represented pictorially with a partial ruler to be read and interpreted by the student. 

    Items will not include conversions between units.

    Stimulus Attributes :
    Both customary and metric units will not be included in the same item.
    Response Attributes :
    Responses should not be listed in numerical order when this would be a clue to the correct response.

    Millimeters (mm) and/or centimeters (cm) must be written using only whole numbers (e.g., 6 centimeters 3 millimeters).
