Session One: Mathematics Assessment

Today you will take the Washington Assessment of Student Learning in Mathematics. On this part
of the test, you are permitted to use tools such as calculators, rulers, protractors, and
manipulatives.
Directions to the Student

There are several different types of questions on this test:
1. Some questions will ask you to choose the best answer from among four answer
choices. These items are worth one point.
2. Some questions will ask you to choose the best answer from among four answer
choices and then tell why you chose that answer. These items are worth two points.
3. Some questions will ask you to write or draw an answer neatly and clearly inside a
box.
• Some of these questions are short. They may ask you to write an answer, to
explain your thinking, draw a diagram, or show the steps you used to solve the
problem. These items are worth two points.
• Others ask for more details (graphs, tables, written summaries) or more
thinking. These questions also provide you with more room for your answer.
These items are worth four points.
Here are some important things to remember as you take this test:
1. Read each question carefully and think about the answer.
2. If answer choices are given, choose the best answer by filling in the circle in front of
your answer.
3. If an answer box is provided, write your answer neatly and clearly inside the box
and show all your work. Cross out any work you do not want as part of your answer.
Do not use scratch paper.
4. Use only a No. 2 pencil, not a mechanical pencil or pen, to write your answers
directly in your test booklet. If you do not have a No. 2 pencil, ask your teacher to
give you one.
5. You should have plenty of time to finish every question on the test. If you do not
know the answer to a question, go on to the next question. You can come back to that
question later.
6. When you reach the word STOP in your booklet, you have reached the end of
Session One.
7. You may check your work in Session One only. Do not go on until you are told to
turn the page.

Study the three graphs.
• Give two conclusions about Stephanie’s lawn mowing business by

combining information from the graphs.
• Support each conclusion using specific data from at least two graphs.
Conclusion number 1 with support from at least two graphs:
Stephanie mowed the greatest number of lawns in the
months after the most rainfall. The months of April and
May had the most rainfall and Stephanie mowed the
most lawns in June and July.
Conclusion number 2 with support from at least two graphs:
Stephanie had a large drop in the number of lawns mowed
from June and July to August. The reduction in the
number of lawns mowed occurred in August where the
rainfall was at its lowest point (2 inches) and the average
temperature was at its highest (80° F).
