Description
A 31-item diagnostic for the summer program screening all five Grade 6 NCSCOS math domains. Item counts mirror the NC End-of-Grade weight distribution (Ratios & Proportional Relationships ~26%, Expressions & Equations ~24%, The Number System ~22%, Geometry ~14%, Statistics & Probability ~14%) to predict EOG performance and identify gaps. Multiple-choice and matching only; distractors target common errors.
Learning Objectives
-
Use ratios, unit rates, and percents to solve real-world problems.
-
Divide fractions, compute with decimals, and find common factors and multiples.
-
Reason about rational numbers, absolute value, and the coordinate plane.
-
Write, evaluate, and generate equivalent algebraic and numerical expressions.
-
Solve one-step equations and reason about one-variable inequalities.
-
Find area, surface area, and volume and work with polygons on the coordinate plane.
-
Summarize data using measures of center, spread, and data displays.

This diagnostic screens all five Grade 6 math domains. It follows the NC End-of-Grade emphasis, so ratio and rate reasoning and algebraic expressions appear most often. Read each question carefully and use scratch paper.
