•

possible solutions or formulas for the final column

and 7

Problem #4: Similarities & Differences

This problem will help you to understand your student’s comfort level with the following mathematical

concepts:

Geometry

Grade Expectation: Can identify geometric attributes of shapes (right angles, parallel sides) and solve

simple perimeter problems

Grade Expectation: Can understand the properties of two-dimensional shapes and can solve

problems involving length, perimeter & area

Grade Expectation: Can understand properties of three-dimensional shapes and can find surface area

and volume

Where to start:

Grade: Start here if your student isn’t able to use mathematical language to describe at least

•

some similarities or differences (e.g. “they are not the same shape” or “one has sharp corners”)

Grade: Start here if your student uses mathematical language (e.g. “one has all right angles”)

•

but are not able to compare the perimeter and area of the two shapes

Grade: Start here if your student describes specific aspects of each shape’s measurements

•

(i.e. the area of the two shapes is the same, the perimeter of the two shapes is different)

and 7

grade: Your student successfully and easily completes the entire assessment and

•

answers all or almost all of the questions correctly
