Grade 7 Mathematics
What the Georgia Milestones end-of-grade test for Grade 7 Mathematics covers, from the state's assessment blueprint: its reporting categories and their points, the standards each category assesses, how complex the questions are meant to be, and the kinds of questions on it.
- 58
- 4
- 6
Reporting categories
Points are the blueprint's approximate figures. Each percent is of the test's 58 points, rounded; a range such as 7–8 counts at its midpoint.
Patterning & Algebraic Reasoning
28 points, about 48% of the test
Represent authentic situations using equations and inequalities with variables; solve equations and inequalities symbolically, using the properties of equality.
- 7.PAR.3Equations and Inequalities
Use properties of operations, generate equivalent expressions and interpret the expressions to explain relevant situations.
- 7.PAR.2Equivalent Algebraic Expressions
Recognize proportional relationships in relevant, mathematical problems; represent, solve, and explain these relationships with tables, graphs, and equations.
- 7.PAR.4Proportional Relationships
Numerical Reasoning
12 points, about 21% of the test
Solve relevant, mathematical problems, including multi-step problems, involving the four operations with rational numbers and quantities in any form (integers, percentages, fractions, and decimal numbers).
- 7.NR.1Rational Number Operations
Geometric & Spatial Reasoning
9 points, about 16% of the test
Solve practical problems involving angle measurement, circles, area of circles, surface area of prisms and cylinders, and volume of cylinders and prisms composed of cubes and right prisms.
- 7.GSR.5Angles, Circles & 3D Figures
Probability Reasoning
9 points, about 16% of the test
Using mathematical reasoning, investigate chance processes and develop, evaluate, and use probability models to find probabilities of simple events presented in authentic situations.
- 7.PR.6Simple Event Probability Models
Also part of the test, without points of their own
Practices
From the blueprint: “These practices are embedded within items aligned to the mathematics content standards but are not reported as a separate reporting category.”
Depth of Knowledge
From the blueprint: “Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is measured on a scale of 1 to 4 and refers to the level of cognitive demand (different kinds of thinking) required to complete an assessment item.”
| DOK | Points | Share of the test |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 12 to 17 | 20% to 30% |
| Level 2 | 29 to 35 | 50% to 60% |
| Level 3 | 9 to 15 | 15% to 25% |
| Level 4 | Not on this test | |
Kinds of questions
| Question type | Questions | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1-point Selected-Response and Technology-Enhanced | 42 | 42 |
| 2-point Technology-Enhanced | 8 | 16 |
| Field Test Items | 5 | 0 |
| Total | 55 | 58 |
Achievement levels
For the subjects and grades Georgia tests, Georgia Homeroom shows what each Milestones achievement level means in practice, using the state's own descriptions. Georgia publishes these descriptions for tested content, so they are not available for every standard. On this test, 6 of the 6 standards have them, marked “Achievement levels” above; each standard's page shows them.
