Student Tutorial The Student Tutorial is a narrated video that introduces the test platform. The tutorial uses narration and visual descriptions to explain the testing tools and navigation though the test engine. How to Access the Student Tutorial Quick Guide: Accessing Student Tutorial is located in Appendix A of this guide and on the AK STAR webpage. This one-page document provides step-by-step instructions and screenshots to guide users to the tutorial. Page 6 Practice Tests The purpose of the AK STAR Practice Tests is to familiarize students with the engine, the NWEA State Solutions Secure Browser, and to give them an opportunity to practice the types of questions that will be on the AK STAR summative assessment. The Practice Tests cover only a small amount of the content in the Alaska English Language Arts and Mathematics Standards and should not be used to inform instruction. An answer key for each practice test is available in Appendix C of this guide. Districts and educators are encouraged to have students login to the practice tests via the NWEA State Solutions Secure Browser. Students need multiple opportunities to access the practice tests so that they are familiar with using the tools and functions that are part of the AK STAR Summative Assessment. Students should practice on the same types of devices (e.g., computers, tablets) that they will use during the spring assessments. Students should also take the assessment on the type of device that they are most familiar with using in the classroom. Guidance for Teachers Here are some examples of the types of features in the practice tests that teachers should review with students: • Show how to navigate using the question numbers at the bottom of the page and the navigation buttons (Next and Back). • Model when and why to use the Mark for Review feature (e.g., if students find themselves stuck on a problem, they can flag it and then go back to it later). • Model how to use the Eliminator tool to show how to cross-off answer options for various item types. • Model how to use the final review page to make sure all items have been completed and how students can return to a specific item by clicking on the number. o Show students how to access the calculators when available (specific parts in grades 6- 9). o Show students how to access the formula table in grades 5-9. o Show students how to use the scroll bar to see the entire passage (for ELA) and explain to students how they can look back at the passage on the left side of the screen when answering the questions on the right side of the screen. o Practice moving the guideline on the screen as the student reads a passage. o Practice using the scroll bar to see the entire item for items that extend beyond the screen. Page 7 The following lists show some of the tools and navigation controls available on the AK STAR Summative Assessment. Tools Students must be able to read and use these buttons for navigation • Help (?) • Next • Eliminator • Back • Guideline • Mark for Review • Highlighter • Clear • Sticky Note • Pause • Magnify • Return to test • Drawing • End test • Protractor (grades 4-5 only) • Submit and End Test • Ruler • Graph Paper The following list shows some technology skills that students may need to use for the AK STAR Summative Assessment. Keyboarding skills Mouse or touch screen skills • Type single word or numbered responses • Type paragraph response. • Click or touch to select an answer or multiple answers. • Click or touch to highlight a word or sentence. • Select an item from a drop-down menu. • Drag and drop a word, number, phrase, or image to sort, order, label, match, or complete model. • Move the line in a bar area to construct a bar graph. How to Access the Practice Tests Quick Guide: Accessing Student Practice Tests is located in Appendix B of this guide and on the AK STAR Student Readiness webpage. This one-page document provides step-by-step instructions and screenshots to guide users to the practice tests. Page 10 Select in Passage This type of question asks students to select answers from a short section of the passage or another text, such as a dictionary entry. In the given text, certain words, phrases, or sentences are underlined. The students’ job is to select the underlined choice or choices that provide the best answer. (They will be told how many choices to select.) This type of question is worth 1 point. Drag and Drop This type of question asks students to move one or more choices into the correct box. If there is only one box to fill or if the number of choices equals the number of boxes to fill, the question is worth 1 point. If there are two or more boxes to fill and there are more choices than boxes, the question is worth 2 points. For the 2-point questions, students can earn partial credit of 1 point if they fill all but one box correctly. Page 11 Text Entry This type of question asks students to write a short written response—usually of just one word—in a box. It is usually used to test knowledge of spelling. It is worth 1 point. In the example that follows, part B is a text-entry question. Page 12 Select in Graphic This type of question shows a graphic, such as an illustration from the passage, with certain selectable sections. The students’ job is to select the correct section or sections. (They will be told how many sections to select.) This type of question is worth 1 point. Page 15 Mathematics Item Types Specific item types students may see are listed below and are taken from the AK STAR Mathematics Practice Tests. All math questions are worth 1 point, except for the multipart questions and written responses. Multiple-Choice Single-Select This type of question lists four choices and asks the student to select the correct answer. Multiple-Choice Multiple-Select This type of question lists three or more choices and can have any number of correct answers. Sometimes students will be told how many choices to select, and sometimes they will not be told. Students must select all the correct choices and none of the incorrect choices for their answer to be scored as correct. Page 16 Numeric Entry This type of question asks students to enter a number or numbers. Students can use the digits 0 through 9 in their answer. In grades 4 and up, students can use a decimal point, and in grades 6 and up, students can also use a negative sign. Fraction Entry This type of question asks students to give their answer as a fraction by entering the numerator and denominator. Students can use digits 0 through 9 in their answer, and students in grades 6 and up can also use a negative sign. They cannot enter a decimal point. Unless an exact match is required, equivalent responses are scored as correct. For example, if the answer is 1 2 , then 4 8 is scored as correct. Page 17 Graphing This type of question asks students to graph one or more points or lines on a grid. To graph each object, students must first select the button for that object. Then they select a place on the grid where they want the object to appear. To graph a line, students place two points on the grid that the line should pass through. Students can move objects after they are placed by first selecting the Chooser button ( ), and then selecting and dragging points. Page 20 Written Response This type of question asks students to write a response that includes a combination of words and math expressions or equations. Although not required, students can use the equation editor buttons to add mathematical symbols to their answer. Words can be typed from their regular keyboard. This type of question is worth three points for grades 3–5 and four points for grades 6 and up; it is human scored. Page 21 Multipart This type of question has two or three parts. Each part has one question that can be any of the types described in this document. All parts are based on the information that is presented on the left side of the screen. Each part is worth one point unless one of the parts is a written-response question.

The numbers I picked in Part B have the same number of digits, and the first digit of each number is different. Since the first digit of each number has the same place value, the number with the greater first digit is the greater number. Written Response Math Written Response Rubric Grade 4 This question is worth 3 points. Each of the following components is worth 1 point. • In Part A, the response is correct. • In Part B, the response is correct. • In Part C, the response shows an understanding that place value is the reason why Joni’s method does not always result in a correct comparison of numbers that each have a different number of digits.

The floor of her old bedroom is a square with an area of (12 feet) (12 feet) = 144 square feet. In the scale drawing, 1 inch represents 2 feet, so 4.5 inches represent 9 feet and 7 inches represent 14 feet. The floor of the new bedroom is a rectangle with a length of 14 feet and a width of 9 feet. The area of the floor of the new bedroom is (14 feet) (9 feet) = 126 square feet. The area of the floor of the new bedroom is less than the area of the floor of the old bedroom. Written Response 30B Morgan’s claim is not correct. Based on the scale drawing, the length of the wall with a window is 9 feet, which is equal to 108 inches, since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. If Morgan arranges the desk and chair at the foot of the bed so that she can sit at the desk, the total length of the bed, desk, and chair will be at least 81 inches + 34 inches = 115 inches. Since 115 inches is greater than the length of the wall with a window, Morgan cannot arrange her furniture as she claims. Written Response Math Written Response Rubric Grade 7 This question is worth 4 points. Each of the following components is worth 1 point. • In Part A, the response shows evidence of understanding how to correctly apply a given scale factor to find either dimension of the new bedroom floor, in feet. • In Part A, the response includes the areas of both floors, in square inches or square feet. • In Part A, the response shows evidence of understanding that the claim is incorrect and the reasons why. o NOTE: A response that includes an explanation based on correctly comparing incorrect areas meets this component. • In Part B, the response shows evidence of understanding that the claim is incorrect and the reason why. o NOTE: A response that includes an explanation based on correctly comparing the sum of 81 and 31 with an incorrectly calculated width, in feet, meets this component.

The slope is actually rise over run, or the change in y over the change in x. The slope of PR is 2 3 − because ( )3 1 4 2 3 3 6 3 − − = = − − − − . Written Response 30B Triangles MNP and QRT are similar because the corresponding angles at N and R and the corresponding angles at P and T are congruent since they are corresponding angles where two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. Because the triangles are similar, the ratios of corresponding sides of the triangles are equal. This means MN QR NP RT = and shows that the slopes of NP and RT are equal. Written Response Page 52 Math Written Response Rubric Grade 8 This question is worth 4 points. Each of the following components is worth 1 point. • The response provides an explanation of the error in Linda’s claim. • The response shows the correct calculation and identification of the slope. • The response provides correct reasoning about the slopes being equal, which includes the fact that the triangles are similar. • The response provides correct reasoning about the slopes being equal because the ratios are equal, which includes the fact that the ratios of corresponding sides of the triangles are equal. o Note: If the response to Part B only contains calculations of the slopes of the segments without using the similar triangle concept, both points may be awarded as long as both slopes are calculated correctly.

Written Response 30B The situation can be modeled by the function ( ) ( )= ⋅ 0.85 tv t p , where p is the value of the car when it was purchased, t is the number of years since it was purchased, and v is the current value of the car. The fact that the value of the car 2 years after it was purchased was $17,918 can be used to find the value of the car when it was purchased by substituting into the function and solving for p. ( )= ⋅ = = 217,918 0.85 17,918 0.7225 24,800 p p p This means that p, the value of the car when it was purchased, was $24,800. Written Response Math Written Response Rubric Grade 9 This question is worth 4 points. Each of the following components is worth 1 point. • In Part A, the response shows that the situation can be modeled by an exponential function and provides a correct explanation. • In either Part A or Part B, the response contains the correct decay factor of 0.85. This may not be explicit but should be apparent in the work shown. • In Part B, the response contains a reasonable computation (between $23,000 and $25,000) for the original price based on the work shown. • In Part B, the response provides an equation, process, or explanation for the computation.

How he played an important role is that, first of all, he was the coach had faith in him, even when other schools were rejecting him. This is important because if Ray had rejected him, Mikan might not have become a great basketball player. The second way Ray was important in the success of Mikan is how he trained him. The coach asked the boxing team to show him how to jump rope and punch the light bag. The coach also made him take dance lessons. All of this helped him.

Two of these courses are the Food Matters for Health Professionals course at the University of Minnesota, and the Edible Schoolyard (ESY) program at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School in California. While both of these programs encourage healthy eating and focus on culinary skills that provide good nutrition, there are two noticeable differences between the cooking course and ESY program. Firstly, the focus of the ESY program is mainly the growing and supply of food. They “plant their crops by hand.” On the contrary, the college course is more so related to culinary skills, and applying those skills to create a purposeful dish in the sense of treating patients. Secondly, the cooking portion of the ESY program is simply for the sharing of the meals with each other, whereas in the college course, students are given a scenario in which they have a patient with certain health issues, and must create a dish that benefits them health-wise. Although they are different, they both promote health.

They were both built a very long time ago. Each structure was built with different materials to support their purpose. Futhermore, the Great Wall of China was built as a defense mechanism. Because it was used to keep invaders out, they used earth and stone to keep it sturdy and have it hold up even during attacks. In contrast, the Sphinx was built as art. Because the Sphinx was just to look at, they carved it out of living rock, meaning they used the closest materials they had. They also used paint to make it so it was appealing the the Egyptians. This is very different from what they used to make the Great Wall of China because they served very different purposes. Each one was made of materials to benefit their needs. For example, they used stone for the Great Wall because it was meant to hold up during attacks and the Sphinx was just for art, which is why they just carved out of rock that was already there. In conclusion, materials are used based on their function.

The Ivanpah power plant uses the sun to focus the heat and light into a certain place to produce energy. The Google Loom uses the wind to move the balloons and keep them aligned. In Passage 2, the author does state that a scarcity in sunlight could negativily affect the amount of energy produced, limiting projects like this to the southwestern parts of the U.S. Passage 1 describes how wind patterns and weather affects the balloons movements, thus leading Google to come up with technology and ways to keep the balloons at a constant altitude and a percise location. The texts explicitly show the reliance of the two projects on the environment.
