Does My Child Need Help?
Angie uses the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to assess students' performance in mathematics. Students who are weak in basic concepts will have difficulties with later concepts that build on the basics. The sample questions below provide quick assessment of key concepts from CCSS. Will your child be successful with math in high school and beyond?
Sample Questions
Grade 4
- How many 70s are in 7,000?
- What number is 300 less than 4,500?
- What is the sum of 8 tenths and 3 hundredths?
- How many one-quarter yard pieces of rope can be cut from a piece that is two and one-half yards long?
Grade 7
- If a shirt with a regular price of $40 is on sale for 20% off, what is the sale price?
- On a number line, what is the distance between -4 and 12?
- If the sides of a rectangle have a 3-to-5 ratio and the length is 10 inches, what is the width?
- What is one-eighth as a decimal?
- If two angles of a triangle are 90 degrees and 40 degrees, what is the measure of the third angle?
About Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
More than 40 states, including Ohio, worked together in 2009-2010 to create new educational standards for mathematics and reading, called Common Core State Standards. The goal was to create standards that will lead students to be more competitive with top-performing students in other countries.
- The new standards identify the most important concepts to be mastered at each grade level.
- Some topics will have less emphasis than in current curriculum, while other topics will have more emphasis. For example, in Grades 4 and 5 there will be more emphasis on fractions and place value, and less emphasis on probability and statistics.
- There will be less duplication across grades, and more emphasis on thorough development of key concepts.
Ohio will be implementing these standards in the coming years. Angie's Tutoring is implementing them now.
