KeyWordsThroughout the assessment, key words are used to identify the type of response required from you. The Key words are explained below. Refer to this sheet to make sure you are responding fully to each question.

Compare: Tell what is the same and what is different.

Describe: Use words to create a mental picture for the reader.

Determine: Use mathematics to find a solution to the problem.

List: Use point form.

Explain: Use words and symbols to make your solution clear.

Justify: Give reasons and evidence to show your answer is correct.

Show your work: Record all calculations and all the steps you went through to get your answer. You may use words, numbers, graphs, diagrams, symbols and/or charts.

DPCDSB 1

Toolsyoushouldhaveaccessto:x Pencil, ruler and eraser x Scientific or Graphing calculator (You may not share with another student ) x Manipulatives ( examples: fraction pieces, algebra tiles, linking cubes, integer counters,

3D solids, 2D shapes …)

StrategiesforMultipleChoiceQuestions:1. Cover the question choices and read the question stem carefully and highlight key

words with a highlighter, especially the key words on the previous page. 2. Look at the choices and eliminate any of the responses that are not possible. 3. There is only one answer per question. Choose the best possible answer and shade your

choice on the answer sheet. 4. Answer every question; there are no penalties for guessing. 5. Questions that have a graph are drawn to scale. Questions that have a diagram are

usually not drawn to scale.

StrategiesforOpenResponseQuestions: 1. These questions are asking you to show what you know and what you can do. Complete

solutions including any rough work are expected for these quest ions. Give as much information as you can.

2. Read the quest ion carefully and highlight any key words or information with a highlighter.

3. Write your solution in the space provided. Try to give a clear well organized solution to illustrate your complete understanding and ability to communicate. Write your solutions so they can be understood by someone who does not know your work.

4. Don’t erase any of your calculations, drawing or reasoning. Scorers want to see all your work.

5. Use the list of key words on the previous page to help you decide what is expected in your answer. For example, “show your work” means, record all calculations and all the steps you went through to get your answer. You may use words, numbers, graphs, diagrams, symbols and/or charts.

6. The problems in these questions often have more than one way of being solved. Be sure to clearly explain your solution using graphs, tables, pictures numbers or words.

7. When using a calculator, write down all the numbers you use and the operations you carry out. For example to find the area of a circle with diameter 7cm you need to write

3.5 38.485 .
