Test Item Specifications

Item Type(s): This benchmark may be assessed using: MC , GR item(s)
At Grade 7, this benchmark will be assessed using MC and GR items.


Clarification :
Students will compare, contrast, and convert:

• linear units of measure between different measurement systems (US customary or metric [SI]);
• derived units with respect to linear measurement within the same system; and
• linear units of measure within the same system to solve real-world problems.
Content Limits :
Items may include conversions from customary to metric or vice versa, using only one of the conversions found on the reference sheet.

Items may include up to three conversions within the same system of measurement (e.g., millimeters to centimeters, centimeters to meters, and meters to kilometers).

Items may include conversions within the same unit of measure when converting derived units (e.g., miles per hour to feet per second).

Items may include converting a denominate number (e.g., 5 ft 3 in.) to a single unit within the same system of measurement, or vice versa.

Gridded-response items may only involve conversions within the same system of measurement.

Items will not include a combination of multiple conversions within the same system and across different measurement systems (e.g., convert meters to inches).
Stimulus Attributes :
All items should be set in a real-world context.
