Question 1
A heat wave began at 6:10 a.m. on a Tuesday morning. The temperatures were recorded
by Mr. Davis' class. Mr. Davis asked his students to create an equation that represented
the rise in temperature and would use x to represent the hours.

Question 2
A student walks into class and tells the teacher that a local candy store had a "buy one
candy bar get one candy bar free" promotion this weekend. The teacher asks the student
how many candy bars she purchased, but the student was only able to remember how
many candy bars she received. The teacher uses this opportunity to create a word problem
for the class. She asks the class to create an equation that would help the student find out
how many candy bars a person would receive (r) if for any candy bar they purchased (p),
they received one candy bar for free. One student, Sally, says the equation would be 2p + 1
= r. Which of the following activities would best help Sally recognize the error in her
answer?
CORRECT ANSWER
Create a function table (will show the relationship between pairs and show a model of
the equation)
Question 3
Mrs. Fields' science class takes care of a plant at school. The class is responsible for
watering the plant and measuring its growth. The students' measurements are charted in
the table.

Question 4
Which of the following equations relates the height ofthe plant, h, and the number
ofmonths, m, assuming a constant rate of growth?
CORRECT ANSWER
5m + 3 = h
Question 5
Mrs. McCoy writes two equations on the board for her class.
3
, +5 - 5 = 0
-20 + 20 = 0
Which of the following properties of integers is Mrs. McCoy most likely trying to illustrate?
CORRECT ANSWER
The additive inverse property (-a+a=0, a-a=0)
Question 6
Mr. Harris wants to divide a long string of gummy candy into pieces for his class. He folds
the gummy candy in half and makes one cut along the end of the folded string, so that he
now has three pieces. He asks his students to create an equation so he can find out how
many cuts he should make in the candy to have enough for all of the students. Which of
the following equations represents the data in the table? (0, 1) (1, 3) (2, 5)
CORRECT ANSWER
y = 2x + 1
Question 7
Mr. Andrews is in a city whose street grid can be represented by a coordinate plane. Mr.
Andrews wants to walk from his current location at a local barbershop, represented on the
coordinate plane as (1, 2), to his apartment. Mr. Andrews walks 5 blocks east, or to the
right, and 1 block south, or down. Which of the following ordered pairs correctly depicts
the location of Mr. Andrews' apartment?
CORRECT ANSWER
(6,1)
Question 8
Which of the following equations is written in slope-intercept form?
