COMPETENCY GOAL 1 20-25
NUMBER and OPERATIONS

• The learner will understand and compute with
  rational numbers.

1.01     Develop and use ratios, proportions, and
percents to solve problems.1.02     Develop
fluency in addition, subtraction, multiplication,
and division of rational
numbers. - Analyze
computational strategies. -
Describe the effect of operations on size.
- Estimate the results of
computations. - Judge the
reasonableness of solutions. 1.03     Develop
flexibility in solving problems by selecting
strategies and using mental computation,
estimation, calculators or computers, and paper
and pencil.

• The learner will understand and use graphs and
  data analysis.

4.01     Collect, organize, analyze, and display
data (including box plots and histograms) to
solve problems.4.02     Calculate, use, and
interpret the mean, median, mode, range,
frequency distribution, and inter-quartile range
for a set of data.4.03     Describe how the
mean, median, mode, range, frequency
distribution, and inter-quartile range of a set
of data affect its graph.
13
Goal 4 (continued)
4.04     Identify outliers and determine their
effect on the mean, median, mode, and range of a
set of data.4.05     Solve problems involving
two or more sets of data using appropriate
statistical measures.

relations, sequences, and functions using
symbols, graphs, tables, diagrams, and written
descriptions.5.02     Translate among different
representations of algebraic expressions,
equations and inequalities. 5.03     Use and

EOG Math Questions

• Total number 82
• 54 Calculator Active
• 28 Calculator Inactive
• Test is not a test for speed, but for higher
  order thinking skills NOT a timed test

20
What Parents Can Do

• Check homework nightly
• Go over the work by checking that the answers are
  correct and problems are worked out correctly by
  the directions.
• Practice multiplication and division facts
• Help your child memorize or learn by heart
  formulas for area, circumference, volume, and
  surface area. (textbook, inside back cover)

21
What Else Can Parents Do?

• Allow time for real opportunities to learn
• Mall, Grocery store (looking for discounts,
  computing for taxes)
• Getting weight and height
• Comparing temperature, speed
• Planning the budget

22
More.

• Log on to Department of Public Instruction (DPI)
  for sample problems work these with your child
  before the test
• http//www.ncpublicschools.org/accountability/pare
  nts/
• Allow your child computer time at home to go to
  websites to practice math
• www.studyisland.com
• www.aaamath.com
• www.go.hrw.com

23
And More.

• Discuss the importance of EOG tests, especially
  in seventh grade.
• There is no retest.
• There is no summer school.
• The scale scores are different from 6th grade,
  and they continue to increase each year.
• One chance to do OUR BEST!!!

24
One Final Word

• EOG tests have a great deal of weight however,
  they are NOT to replace the everyday progress of
  a child.
• Students should not have any undue stress during
  testing time.
• Students should eat, sleep, play, and relax as
  much as possible during EOG testing week.

Together We Can

• Reach our goals!!!!
