The MAP growth Math for 7th grade includes 40-43 questions in various formats, such as multiple choice and others. The topics include computation and problem solving, number sense, geometry, measurement, algebraic concepts, and data analysis. For more about each of these topics, see below. Now let’s see what these questions look like:
Tip: You may not even need to solve each number in order to determine relative value. See if you can deduce enough information to be able to tell which values are greater or less than others.
The correct answer is (C).
In order to compare different units of time you must convert them into a similar time unit. Notice that each answer choice includes the same time measurements. Convert each of them to a unit you are comfortable working with. In this case, minutes is a good option:
Now that you have all the units shown as minutes, the order is: 100 minutes, 210 minutes, 240 minutes and 250 minutes. After converting them back, the answer is: 6000 seconds, 3.5 hours, 1/6th a day, 250 minutes.
The correct answer is (D).
Similar triangles have the same shape but may come in different sizes. In order to determine whether two triangles are similar, you can check the following rules:
1. SSS (Side Side Side) – Two different triangles are similar if all the sides in one triangle are in the same proportion to the matching sides in the other triangle.
2. SAS (Side Angle Side) – If two triangles have two pairs of sides which have the same proportion as the pair in the second triangle and the angle between them is the same, they are similar:
Pair (a) has similar triangles; The missing angle in the triangle on the right is 45° (the interior angles of a triangle add to 180°), making this triangle an isosceles triangle. Thus, the right side of the triangle is also 4:
There are two side of the triangles with the same proportion 3/3=4/4=1 and the angle between those sides is 90° in both of the triangles. Therefore, the triangles are similar according to SAS.
Pair (b) has similar triangles according to SSS. Both triangles have three pairs of matching sides (Notice that these triangles are also congruent, since all sides are equal - congruent triangles are also similar triangles).
Pair (c) does not have similar triangles. There are no matching angles between the triangles and no information regarding their sides.
Therefore, the correct answer is (D) – Pairs (a) and (b) are similar.
Tip: Go over all the rules and properties of shapes to be able to determine missing sides, angles, and other measurements.
The correct answer is (D).
The unit rate here is the length of time it takes to pick one crate of cherries. The word unit always means one, so here it refers to one crate of cherries. One way to find this is to draw a line up from one on the x axis (one crate of cherries) and follow the line up to the graph and then along to the y axis to read off the time taken (number of minutes). See the orange line below.
So, one on the x axis leads to three minutes on the y axis showing that it takes three minutes to pick one crate of cherries. It is also possible to see this rate elsewhere on the graph. For example, the green line links two on the x axis with six on the y axis. This means that it takes six minutes to pick two crates of cherries. Although this is not a unit rate, it can be used to calculate the unit rate, as follows.
2 crates / 6 minutes // divide both parts by two
1 crate / 3 minutes
When dealing with a rate, you must keep the proportional relationship; what you do to one part, you must do to the other.
Therefore, the correct answer is (D).
If you answered (A), you read the graph the wrong way around. You went from the y axis to the x axis.
The MAP growth Reading for 7th grade includes 40-43 questions in various formats, such as multiple choice and others. The topics include comprehending and analyzing literary texts as well as informational texts and knowledge of word meanings. For more about each of these topics, see below. Let’s have a look at some samples:
1. The correct answer is (D).
Answer (D) is correct because the word "narrative" means story, so a narrative poem is a poem that tells a story.
Answer (A) is incorrect because not every poem that uses the word "I" is a narrative poem that tells a story. The word "I" can be used in a poem that focuses on images and ideas without telling a story. Also, there are narrative poems told from other perspectives that do not use the word "I."
Answer (B) is incorrect because, while a narrative poem may include vivid imagery, vivid imagery is not necessary in order for a poem to be a narrative poem.
Answer (C) is incorrect because any kind of poem addresses a theme, not just a narrative poem.
2. The correct answer is (D).
A speaker's attitude is what he or she feels about the subject he or she is writing about. The author's attitude is expressed through the words and details he or she selects. To determine the author’s attitude, you must notice how these words and details are used within the writing.
In this poem, the speaker tells the reader about a choice between two roads, using words to make the reader understand how difficult the choice was: "perhaps the better claim," "I kept the first for another day," "I shall be telling this with a sigh." It seems the speaker is in deep thought, considering different sides of things, or in other words, he is contemplating the things he is writing about.
Tip: Try reading the question before reading the text so that you know what to look for and what to pay attention to.
The correct answer is (C).
According to the passage, the knocker-uppers used to ring the doorbell or knock loudly on the door, but then they started knocking on the windows, "knocking loudly enough to wake up the people inside the house, but softly enough not to wake the neighbors." Therefore, it makes sense that the knocker-uppers' intention was to only wake up the customers who paid for the service, and not the neighbors.
Answers (A), (B), and (D) are incorrect because there is no indication in the passage that the knocker-uppers thought knocking on doors was harder, too old-fashioned, or that it made the job seem more desirable.
Tip: When you are unsure of the answer, go through each option and eliminate which ones make the least amount of sense. This will narrow down the possibilities and make it easier to find the best answer.
The correct answer is (C).
Many English words contain roots that come from other languages. A root is a group of letters that can be used to make many words. The MAP test focuses especially on roots that come from Latin and Ancient Greek. You can focus on studying the meanings of roots without worrying about which come from Latin and which from Ancient Greek.
If a question asks you about a root that you do not immediately recognize, you can use three strategies to figure out its meaning:
1. Check for other prefixes, suffixes, and roots in the same word. For example, in the word hydrophilic, you might recognize that the root "hydro" means water.
2. If the question gives you the word in the context of a sentence or paragraph, look for clues in the text surrounding the word, piecing together meanings with the answer choices. For example, the words "attracted to water" can give you a clue that the prefix phil is related to attraction, and attraction is related to love.
3. Try to think of other words that share the same root.
Answer (C) is correct because the Greek root phil means "love."
Solving tip:
The Latin root amor also means "love."
The MAP growth Language Usage for 7th grade includes 40-43 questions in various formats, such as multiple choice, and others. The topics include writing mechanics, parts of speech, usage and sentence structure, and writing process. For more about each of these topics, see below. Now let’s go through some examples of what these might look like:
The correct answer is (D).
The word "we" should be capitalized because it is the first word of a quoted sentence. The word "north" in the phrase "North Carolina"should be capitalized as it is part of the name. The word "western" in the phrase "western Europe" should not be capitalized as it is not part of the name, but rather an adjective.
Tip: Capitalization—and punctuation in general—can be very technical. Sometomes it may seem right and be wrong, or vice versa. It is best to review all the rules and practice spotting them ion different contexts, rather than relying on instinct or familliarity.
The correct answer is (A).
Answer (A) is correct because the adjective "smaller" modifies the noun "molecule." You can figure this out by asking "What is smaller?" It is the molecule that is smaller.
Answer (B) is incorrect because the adjective "smaller" does not modify the verb "is." An adjective can only modify a noun or pronoun. An adjective cannot modify a verb.
Answer (C) is incorrect because the adjective "smaller" does not modify the noun "times." It does not tell us anything about "times" in the sentence. Rather, "times" is part of an adverbial phrase - "approximately one million times" - that modifies the adjective "smaller," indicating specifying how much smaller.
Answer (D) is incorrect because the adjective "smaller" does not modify the noun "grain," as it is not telling us anything about the grain of sand directly. It is the molecule that is said to be "smaller" than the grain, not the grain that is said to be smaller than the molecule.
The correct answer is (B).
An independent clause contains a subject and a conjugated verb that together express a complete thought. A dependent clause contains a subject and a conjugated verb but does not express a complete thought. The meaning of a dependent clause depends on it being attached to an independent clause.
Answer (B) is correct because the subject of the clause is "she" (Ada Lovelace), the conjugated verb related to the subject is "met," and the clause expresses a complete thought. Thus, "she met Charles Babbage" is an independent clause.
Answer (A) is incorrect because the underlined section is not a clause. A clause must contain at least one conjugated verb, but the underlined section in Answer (A) does not contain a verb.
Answer (C) is incorrect because the underlined section is not a clause. A clause must contain a subject and a conjugated verb, and the underlined section contains neither.
Answer (D) is incorrect because the underlined section is a dependent clause, not a main clause. The underlined section is a dependent clause because it begins with the subordinating conjunction "though." This subordinate clause provides additional information about the sentence’s independent clause, which has "she" as its subject and "is" as its conjugated verb.
Tip: Don’t be fooled by the length of a sentence, phrase, or any segment in writing. The answer will always follow the structure or makeup itself, not how it appears. A sentence can be two words, a clause can be ten words, and a phrase can be longer or shorter than either of them.
The correct answer is (C).
A thesis of an essay is a claim made by the author about the topic of the essay, and it presents the author's position or opinion regarding this topic. Notice that in persuasive writing, you do not have to agree with the author as the thesis does not present a fact, and the aim of the essay is to influence your thinking towards a certain direction.
Tip: a fact is different from a thesis statement in that a fact is something that can be checked and proven.
Answer (C) is the correct answer as it presents a debatable claim – you cannot be sure that the moon landing is something that humanity would have certainly reached, as there could have been a different scenario in which this achievement was not reached. Moreover, it is not possible to check and prove this claim. Therefore, this is the author's opinion.
The rest of the answer choices are incorrect as they can all be checked and proven, thus they are all facts and not theses.
