About the SD Math Grade 7 Exam
The South Dakota Mathematics Assessment for Grade 7 is the state's annual summative assessment measuring 7th-grade students' mastery of South Dakota Content Standards in Mathematics. Administered online via the Smarter Balanced computer-adaptive system, the assessment tests unit rates with fractions, constant of proportionality (y=kx), percent change, tax/tip/discount, rational number arithmetic (+, -, ×, ÷), multi-step equations px+q=r, 2-step inequalities, scale drawings, circle area & circumference (A=πr², C=2πr), angle relationships (complementary, supplementary, vertical), and probability models. Please note: This 100-question practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice question (MCQ) study adaptation created by OpenExamPrep to help 7th-grade students practice core math standards in an accessible study format.
Assessment
Two components: a computer-adaptive test (CAT) and one performance task (PT) containing 4-6 items.
Time Limit
Untimed. SD DOE's published estimate is 2 hours for the CAT plus 1 hour for the performance task (about 3 hours total), taken during the spring window.
Passing Score
No pass/fail score. Four achievement levels are reported: Level 1 (standard not met), Level 2 (nearly met), Level 3 (met - the state proficiency benchmark), and Level 4 (exceeded).
Exam Fee
Free for South Dakota public school students. (South Dakota Department of Education (SD DOE))
SD Math Grade 7 Exam Content Outline
Concepts and Procedures (Claim 1)
16-20 items per form in grades 6-8, covering grade 7 priority and supporting clusters: unit rates with fractions, the constant of proportionality, multi-step percent problems, operations with rational numbers, expanding and factoring linear expressions, multi-step equations and inequalities, scale drawings, circles, angle relationships, volume and surface area of right prisms, sampling, and probability.
Problem Solving, Modeling and Data Analysis (Claims 2 and 4)
8-10 items, reported as a single subscore. Six computer-adaptive items plus 2-4 performance-task items applying grade 7 mathematics to real-world situations.
Communicating Reasoning (Claim 3)
8-10 items in which students justify conclusions and critique reasoning. At least two computer-adaptive items are written at Depth of Knowledge 3 or higher.
