Test-Taking Tips
• Go to bed early the night before the test. You will think more clearly after
a good night’s rest.
• Read each problem carefully and think about ways to solve the problem
before you try to answer the question.
• Relax. Most people get nervous when taking a test. It’s natural. Just do
your best.
• Answer questions you are sure about first. If you do not know the answer
to a question, skip it and go back to that question later.
• Think positively. Some problems may seem hard to you, but you may be
able to figure out what to do if you read each question carefully.
• If no figure is provided, draw one. If one is furnished, mark it up to help
you solve the problem.
• When you have finished each problem, reread it to make sure your answer
is reasonable.
• Become familiar with a variety of formulas and when they should be used.
• Make sure that the number of the question on the answer sheet matches the
number of the question on which you are working in your test booklet.

v Standards Workbook, Grade 7
California Content Standards for Grade 7
Lessons in which the standards are a primary focus are indicated in bold.
Content Standard
Number Sense
1.0 Students know the properties of, and compute with, rational numbers expressed in a variety of
forms:
1.1* Read, write, and compare rational numbers in scientific notation (positive and negative powers of 10) with
approximate numbers using scientific notation.
1.2* Add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers (integers, fractions, and terminating decimals) and
take positive rational numbers to whole-number powers.
1.3* Convert fractions to decimals and percents and use these representations in estimations, computations, and
applications.
1.4 Differentiate between rational and irrational numbers.
1.5 Know that every rational number is either a terminating or repeating decimal and be able to convert
terminating decimals into reduced fractions.
1.6* Calculate the percentage of increases and decreases of a quantity.
1.7* Solve problems that involve discounts, markups, commissions, and profit and compute simple and
compound interest.
2.0 Students use exponents, powers, and roots and use exponents in working with fractions:
2.1* Understand negative whole-number exponents. Multiply and divide expressions involving exponents with
a common base.
2.2* Add and subtract fractions by using factoring to find common denominators.
2.3* Multiply, divide, and simplify rational numbers by using exponent rules.
2.4* Use the inverse relationship between raising to a power and extracting the root of a perfect square integer;
for an integer that is not square, determine without a calculator the two integers between which its square
root lies and explain why.
2.5* Understand the meaning of the absolute value of a number; interpret the absolute value as the distance of
the number from zero on a number line; and determine the absolute value of real numbers.
Algebra and Functions
1.0 Students express quantitative relationships by using algebraic terminology, expressions, equations,
inequalities, and graphs:
1.1* Use variables and appropriate operations to write an expression, an equation, an inequality, or a system of
equations or inequalities that represents a verbal description (e.g., three less than a number, half as large as
area A).
1.2* Use the correct order of operations to evaluate algebraic expressions such as 3(2x  5)2.
1.3 Simplify numerical expressions by applying properties of rational numbers (e.g., identity, inverse,
distributive, associative, commutative) and justify the process used.
1.4 Use algebraic terminology (e.g., variable, equation, term, coefficient, inequality, expression, constant)
correctly.
1.5* Represent quantitative relationships graphically and interpret the meaning of a specific part of a graph in
the situation represented by the graph.
2.0 Students interpret and evaluate expressions involving integer powers and simple roots:
2.1* Interpret positive whole-number powers as repeated multiplication and negative whole-number powers as
repeated division or multiplication by the multiplicative inverse. Simplify and evaluate expressions that
include exponents.
2.2* Multiply and divide monomials; extend the process of taking powers and extracting roots to monomials
when the latter results in a monomial with an integer exponent.

vi Standards Workbook, Grade 7
3.0 Students graph and interpret linear and some nonlinear functions:
3.1* Graph functions of the form y  nx2 and y  nx3 and use in solving problems.
3.2 Plot the values from the volumes of three-dimensional shapes for various values of the edge lengths (e.g.,
cubes with varying edge lengths or a triangle prism with a fixed height and an equilateral triangle base of
varying lengths).
3.3* Graph linear functions, noting that the vertical change (change in y-value) per unit of horizontal change
(change in x-value) is always the same and know that the ratio (“rise over run”) is called the slope of a
graph.
3.4* Plot the values of quantities whose ratios are always the same (e.g., cost to the number of an item, feet to
inches, circumference to diameter of a circle). Fit a line to the plot and understand that the slope of the
line equals the quantities.
4.0 Students solve simple linear equations and inequalities over the rational numbers:
4.1* Solve two-step linear equations and inequalities in one variable over the rational numbers, interpret the
solution or solutions in the context from which they arose, and verify the reasonableness of the results.
4.2* Solve multistep problems involving rate, average speed, distance, and time or a direct variation.
Measurement and Geometry
1.0 Students choose appropriate units of measure and use ratios to convert within and between
measurement systems to solve problems:
1.1* Compare weights, capacities, geometric measures, times, and temperatures within and between
measurement systems (e.g., miles per hour and feet per second, cubic inches to cubic centimeters)
1.2* Construct and read drawings and models made to scale.
1.3* Use measures expressed as rates (e.g., speed, density) and measures expressed as products (e.g., person-
days) to solve problems; check the units of the solutions; and use dimensional analysis to check the
reasonableness of the answer.
2.0 Students compute the perimeter, area, and volume of common geometric objects and use the results
to find measures of less common objects. They know how perimeter, area, and volume are affected
by changes of scale:
2.1* Use formulas routinely for finding the perimeter and area of basic two-dimensional figures and the surface
area and volume of basic three-dimensional figures, including rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids,
squares, triangles, circles, prisms, and cylinders.
2.2* Estimate and compute the area of more complex or irregular two-and three-dimensional figures by
breaking the figures down into more basic geometric objects.
2.3* Compute the length of the perimeter, the surface area of the faces, and the volume of a three-dimensional
object built from rectangular solids. Understand that when the lengths of all dimensions are multiplied by
a scale factor, the surface area is multiplied by the square of the scale factor and the volume is multiplied
by the cube of the scale factor.
2.4* Relate the changes in measurement with a change of scale to the units used (e.g., square inches, cubic
feet) and to conversions between units (1 square foot  144 square inches or [1 ft2]  [144 in2], 1 cubic
inch is approximately 16.38 cubic centimeters or [1 in3]  [16.38 cm3]).
3.0 Students know the Pythagorean theorem and deepen their understanding of plane and solid
geometric shapes by constructing figures that meet given conditions and by identifying attributes of
figures:
3.1 Identify and construct basic elements of geometric figures (e.g., altitudes, mid-points, diagonals, angle
bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors; central angles, radii, diameters, and chords of circles) by using a
compass and straightedge.
3.2* Understand and use coordinate graphs to plot simple figures, determine lengths and areas related to them,
and determine their image under translations and reflections.
3.3* Know and understand the Pythagorean theorem and its converse and use it to find the length of the
missing side of a right triangle and the lengths of other line segments and, in some situations, empirically
verify the Pythagorean theorem by direct measurement.

 Key Standard *  standard assessed on the CAHSEE

vii Standards Workbook, Grade 7
3.4* Demonstrate an understanding of conditions that indicate two geo-metrical figures are congruent and what
congruence means about the relationships between the sides and angles of the two figures.
3.5 Construct two-dimensional patterns for three-dimensional models, such as cylinders, prisms, and cones.
3.6 Identify elements of three-dimensional geometric objects (e.g., diagonals of rectangular solids) and
describe how two or more objects are related in space (e.g., skew lines, the possible ways three planes
might intersect).
Statistics, Data Analysis, and Probability
1.0 Students collect, organize, and represent data sets that have one or more variables and identify
relationships among variables within a data set by hand and through the use of an electronic
spreadsheet software program:
1.1* Know various forms of display for data sets, including a stem-and-leaf plot or box-and-whisker plot; use
the forms to display a single set of data or to compare two sets of data.
1.2* Represent two numerical variables on a scatter plot and informally describe how the data points are
distributed and any apparent relationship that exists between the two variables (e.g., between time spent
on homework and grade level).
1.3 Understand the meaning of, and be able to compute, the minimum, the lower quartile, the median, the
upper quartile, and the maximum of a data set.
Mathematical Reasoning
1.0 Students make decisions about how to approach problems:
1.1* Analyze problems by identifying relationships, distinguishing relevant from irrelevant information,
identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns.
1.2* Formulate and justify mathematical conjectures based on a general description of the mathematical
question or problem posed.
1.3 Determine when and how to break a problem into simpler parts.
2.0 Students use strategies, skills, and concepts in finding solutions:
2.1* Use estimation to verify the reasonableness of calculated results.
2.2 Apply strategies and results from simpler problems to more complex problems.
2.3* Estimate unknown quantities graphically and solve for them by using logical reasoning and arithmetic and
algebraic techniques.
2.4* Make and test conjectures by using both inductive and deductive reasoning.
2.5 Use a variety of methods, such as words, numbers, symbols, charts, graphs, tables, diagrams, and models,
to explain mathematical reasoning.
2.6 Express the solution clearly and logically by using the appropriate mathematical notation and terms and
clear language; support solutions with evidence in both verbal and symbolic work.
2.7 Indicate the relative advantages of exact and approximate solutions to problems and give answers to a
specified degree of accuracy.
2.8 Make precise calculations and check the validity of the results from the context of the problem.
3.0 Students determine a solution is complete and move beyond a particular problem by generalizing to
other situations:
3.1 Evaluate the reasonableness of the solution in the context of the original situation.
3.2 Note the method of deriving the solution and demonstrate a conceptual understanding of the derivation by
solving similar problems.
3.3* Develop generalizations of the results obtained and the strategies used and apply them to new problem
situations.

Number Sense 1.1
Read, write, and compare rational numbers in scientific notation (positive
NS 1.1
and negative powers of 10) with approximate numbers using scientific
notation.

Examples 1 Which is the least number?


A 2.7  105
B 2.7  105
C 2.7  106
D 2.7  106

Notice that the only difference among these numbers is the exponent on 10.
For numbers written in scientific notation, a negative exponent on 10 moves
the decimal point to the left, which makes the number smaller. The exponent
on 2.7  106 is the least and this is the least number. C

2 Express 3.6  105 in standard notation.


F 0.00036
G 0.000036
H 360,000
J 36,000,000

To rewrite 3.6  105 in standard notation, notice that it has a negative


power of 10. Move the decimal point to the left 5 places, the same number of
places as the absolute value of the exponent. 3.6  105 in standard notation
is 0.000036. G

3 A research scientist at the health department estimates that she has


5.3 million E. coli bacteria in a test tube. Express 5.3 million in scientific
notation.
A 5.3  105
B 5.3  105
C 5.3  106
D 5.3  106

First, write out 5.3 million in standard notation as 5,300,000. Then move the
decimal, until you have a number between 1 and 10, in this case, 5.300000
and multiply by a power of 10. The power of 10 is positive if you made the
original number smaller by moving the original decimal point to the left. The
exponent on 10 matches the number of places you moved the decimal. So
5.3 million is 5,300,000 which is 5.3  106. D

C n is rational but not an integer.
D n is neither rational nor irrational.

Since 2 is a rational number (because it can be written as the ratio of two

J Some repeating decimals are irrational numbers.
H is clearly false, since a repeating decimal, such as 0.333..., cannot be equal
to a terminating decimal, such as 0.33. J is false because all repeating
decimals are rational numbers. G is false because every rational number can
be written as either a terminating decimal or as a repeating decimal. F

Examples 1 The original price of a jogging suit was $52. The suit is discounted 20%, and
there is 5% sales tax on the discount price. What is the final price?
A $39.52
B $41.34
C $41.60
D $43.68

To find the amount of the discount, use the percent equation, RB  P, where
R is the rate, B is the base, and P is the percentage, to find 20% of $52.
0.20  $52  P. P  $10.40. Subtract this discount from the original price:
$52  $10.40  $41.60. To find the sales tax, use the percent equation to

number of an item, feet to inches, circumference to diameter of a circle).
Fit a line to the plot and understand that the slope of the line equals the
quantities.

y  1.5x. If you graph this equation, which feature of the graph corresponds
to the cost of 1 pen?
A The slope
B The x-intercept
C The y-intercept

The slope of the graph represents the change in y divided by the change in x.
In this problem, the slope is the change in the cost divided by the change in
how many pens you buy. So the slope is the cost of 1 pen. A

volume of a three-dimensional object built from rectangular solids. They
understand that when the lengths of all dimensions are multiplied by a
scale factor, the surface area is multiplied by the square of the scale factor
and the volume is multiplied by the cube of the scale factor.

Examples 1 Sisto draws a square. Kayla draws another square that has a side that is twice as
long. How does the area of Kayla’s square compare to the area of Sisto’s square?
A They are the same.
B The area of Kayla’s is twice that of Sisto’s.
C The area of Sisto’s is twice that of Kayla’s.
D The area of Kayla’s is four times that of Sisto’s.
If the side of Sisto’s square is s, then the side of Kayla’s square is 2s. The
area of Sisto’s square is s2. The area of Kayla’s square is (2s)2 or 4s2. So 4s2

3 Based on the rule that all numbers whose digits add to 9 or a multiple of 9
are divisible by 9, which of the following is true?
A The number 13,141 is divisible by 9.
B The number 6,531,490 is divisible by 90.
C The number 376,272 is divisible by 18.
D The number 192,939 is divisible by 9.

To be divisible by 18, a number must be divisible by 9 and divisible by 2. The


number 376,272 is an even number so it is divisible by 2. The sum of its digits
is 27 which is a multiple of 9. This means that 376,272 is divisible by 18. C

43 Eliott wanted to find the approximate length of the B C 43


zig-zag path from A to C for the square shown at the
right. He reasoned that since the points on the path 10 cm

are so close to the diagonal AC, the length of the path A D
10 cm
should be about  200, which the Pythagorean

Theorem gave him for the length of AC. He used a calculator and found
that  200 is about 14.14. He gave the approximate length as about
14 centimeters. Which is a correct statement about his answer?
A It is wrong, since the length of the path is AD  DC, or 20 cm.
B It is wrong, because the calculator gives a rounded value for 200.
C It is wrong, because he did not use the Pythagorean Theorem
correctly.
D It is a good approximation to the length of the path, but a number
slightly less than 16 cm would be more accurate.
