Question 1
A review of “Understand basic concepts of geometry and measurement” has
drifted toward “Relationships bridging science, mathematics, technology, and
society”. Which entry brings it back to its intended focus?
A. Converting measurements within and between metric and customary systems
B. Computation techniques, including mental math and estimation
C. Relationships bridging science, mathematics, technology, and society
D. Algebraic concepts used to solve equations and real-world problems
Correct Answer: A
Full Explanation: Understand basic concepts of geometry and measurement: Converting
measurements within and between metric and customary systems. Understand the nature of
science: Relationships bridging science, mathematics, technology, and society. B: This describes
“Understand concepts of numeration, number sense, and mathematical operations”, rather than
the requested focus. C: This describes “Understand the nature of science”, rather than the
requested focus. D: This describes “Understand basic concepts of algebra, functions, and
patterns”, rather than the requested focus.
Question 2
The label “Understand fundamental concepts of the life sciences” is attached to
“Composition, structure, and physical/chemical properties of matter, including
physical versus chemical changes”. Which replacement description better fits
the label?
A. Applying patterns to model real-world situations and make predictions
B. Basic concepts of probability, including simulations and counting procedures to estimate
probabilities
C. Composition, structure, and physical/chemical properties of matter, including physical versus
chemical changes
D. Life cycles, reproductive patterns, and basic principles of heredity and trait transmission
Correct Answer: D
Full Explanation: Understand fundamental concepts of the life sciences: Life cycles, reproductive
patterns, and basic principles of heredity and trait transmission. Understand fundamental concepts
of the physical, Earth, and space sciences: Composition, structure, and physical/chemical
properties of matter, including physical versus chemical changes. A: This describes “Understand
basic concepts of algebra, functions, and patterns”, rather than the requested focus. B: This
describes “Understand concepts of numeration, number sense, and mathematical operations”,
rather than the requested focus. C: This describes “Understand fundamental concepts of the
physical, Earth, and space sciences”, rather than the requested focus.

Question 3
A comparison covers “Understand mathematical reasoning and problem
solving, communication and representation, and data analysis”, “Understand
concepts of numeration, number sense, and mathematical operations”,
“Understand fundamental concepts of the life sciences”, “Understand the
nature of science”. Which association preserves the correct relationship? Pay
particular attention to the role of “Statistical measures (mean, median, mode,
range, frequency distribution) for data description and analysis”.
A. Understand mathematical reasoning and problem solving, communication and
representation, and data analysis — Strategies for collecting, measuring, recording,
summarizing, analyzing, and representing scientific data
B. Understand mathematical reasoning and problem solving, communication and
representation, and data analysis — Statistical measures (mean, median, mode, range,
frequency distribution) for data description and analysis
C. Understand mathematical reasoning and problem solving, communication and
representation, and data analysis — Classification of organisms and mechanisms of species
change over time
D. Understand mathematical reasoning and problem solving, communication and
representation, and data analysis — Computation techniques, including mental math and
estimation
Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation: Understand mathematical reasoning and problem solving, communication and
representation, and data analysis: Statistical measures (mean, median, mode, range, frequency
distribution) for data description and analysis. A: This option instead describes the following
different focus: Understand the nature of science: Strategies for collecting, measuring, recording,
summarizing, analyzing, and representing scientific data. C: This option instead describes the
following different focus: Understand fundamental concepts of the life sciences: Classification of
organisms and mechanisms of species change over time. D: This option instead describes the
following different focus: Understand concepts of numeration, number sense, and mathematical
operations: Computation techniques, including mental math and estimation.
