Dear Students, There are man important qualities of character and intelligence that the STAAR tests are not designed to measure as this cartoon shows. Qualities Not Measured b STAAR Tests Persistence Curiosit Enthusiasm COURAGE Leadership Creativit Civic-Minded Resourcefulness Sense of Wonder Big-Picture Thinking Compassion Reliabilit Motivation Humor Empath Sense of Beaut Humilit Resilience Positivit What the STAAR Grade 7 Mathematics test does measure is our abilit to solve specific kinds of math problems. The lessons in this workbook will teach ou how to approach and successfull answer STAAR test questions. These skills are fun to learn, so ou will probabl enjo the lessons. Zingers Solving the Most-Missed Test Items Zingers challenge and support all students to think in was that help them solve STAAR problems. Each Zinger presents one of the most difficult released STAAR test items and guides ou to: read for understanding, plan and solve the problem, and reflect on the solution process. Finall, ou practice with a similar test item to appl what ou learned. Practicing Smart Is the Secret to STAAR Success There is a secret to success on the STAAR tests practice, practice, and more practice. However, not all practice is the same... so ou want to practice smart. First, practice with test questions that are likel to appear on the actual STAAR test. That s eas, since this workbook is full of them! Net, focus on our weaknesses the tpes of questions that ou most need to improve. Think of it like this: if our basketball shot needs improvement, ou don t practice dribbling. Instead, ou practice shooting. Focusing on our weaknesses also means analzing each test question ou get wrong. Wh did ou get it wrong? If our basketball shot is off, ou identif what ou are doing wrong (aiming too far left) and correct it with our net shot (aim further right). When ou practice, give each question our full attention. (Take a short break after ou answer the question.) Your attention is a muscle that ou can build b using it, one practice test question at a time. Do ou believe unfocused, slopp practice of our basketball shot will help ou perform during a big game? Your attention is our greatest power. You develop it with practice. Preparing for the STAAR test can actuall be a fun challenge. And when ou practice smart, ou are building life skills at the same time ou prepare for the STAAR test!

Unlawful to photocop or project without permission Using the Grade 7 Mathematics Zingers Challenge Yourself Cover up the instruction and tr to solve the problem on our own. 1 READ and UNDERSTAND Good problem solvers carefull read and reread the problem. Use the interactive questions to help ou identif ke facts such as: What information is given? What does the problem ask for? What ke concepts do ou need? 2 PLAN and SOLVE Eamine what two students think as the attempt to solve the problem. The students often use different methods to solve the problem. The might make mistakes. Correcting these mistakes helps ou avoid making common mistakes on the STAAR test. 1 2 TEKS with full tet ZINGER 13 READ and UNDERSTAND Read the problem carefull. 56% of students missed this one! The dimensions of a triangular prism are shown in the diagram. What is the volume of the triangular prism in cubic centimeters? F 480 cm 3 G 192 cm 3 H 240 cm 3 J 384 cm 3 1. The diagram shows a triangular. 2. The base of the prism is a triangle whose height is centimeters and whose base is centimeters. Another side of the triangle measures centimeters. 3. The height of the triangular prism is centimeters. 4. You are asked to find the area volume of the triangular prism. PLAN and SOLVE Read what each student thinks. Camilla thinks... The Reference Sheet formula for the volume of a prism is V = Bh. B means the area of one of the two base triangles. The area of a triangle is A = 1_ bh = 1_ (6)(4) = 12. 2 2 So, the volume of the prism is V = Bh = 12(16) = 192. M choice is G. 5. Camilla correctl incorrectl copies the formulas from the Reference Sheet before substituting.

Nadia thinks... The area of each triangular base is A = 1_ bh = 1_ (6)(4) = 12. 2 2 So the area of both bases is 2(12) = 24. The volume is the area of the bases times the height, or 24(16) = 384. M choice is J. Circle the answer. 6. Nadia correctl incorrectl finds the area of the triangular bases. 26 Grade 7 Mathematics STAAR Zingers Solving the Most-Missed STAAR Test Items Sirius Education Solutions 3 LOOK BACK What do ou think?

The dimensions of a square pramid are shown in the diagram. What is the volume of the pramid in cubic centimeters? A 480 cm 3 B 224 cm 3 C 784 cm 3 D 672 cm 3 10. The formula for the volume of a pramid is V = 1 Bh V = Bh. 3 11. The height of this pramid is 12 14 centimeters. 12. The base of this pramid is a. The formula for the area of the base, B, is A = bh A = 1 bh, so B = 12(12) 12(14). 2 13. Substituting into the volume formula gives V = 1 3 (142 )(12) V = 1 3 (122 )(14). 14. The correct answer choice is A B C D. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE Solve each problem. 12 cm 15. The base of a triangular pramid has an area of 20 square feet. The height of the pramid is 36 feet. The volume of the pramid is cubic feet. 16. A wooden block in the shape of a rectangular prism has a base that measures 2 inches b 3 inches. The height of the block is 5 inches. The volume of the block is cubic inches. When taking the STAAR Grade 7 Math test, ou will have both graph paper and scratch paper.

Yumiko thinks... = Walter s CDs Brian has 3 times that man, so that s 3. 3 = 144, so = 144 3. 144 3 = 48 Walter has 48 CDs. M choice is G. 5. Yumiko s equation 3 = 144 does does not correctl describe the information in the problem. Lourdes thinks... Walter and Brian have a total of 144 CDs.

Sage correctl incorrectl uses mental math to find when = 0 or 10, and then eliminates answer choices. 16 Grade 7 Mathematics STAAR Zingers Solving the Most-Missed STAAR Test Items LOOK BACK Answer each question. 5. Eplain the mistake that Ricardo makes. Sample answer: The -values in each table differ b 5, so the slope in D is 0.5 = 0.1, not 0.5. 5 6.
