Second Grade Mars 2006 Task Descriptions
Overview of Exam
Core Idea Task
Data Analysis Our Class Graphs
The task asks students to read, interpret and answer a prediction question related to
two graphs. Successful students can find numerical data and compare values. They
can make a prediction as to which of two data sets might change if collected the
following day and defend their choice.
Number Operations In One Minute
The task asks students to find values on a chart and compare to find their differences.
Successful students consider the relationships between the quantities and may use
addition, subtraction, counting on or counting back to find the answers. They can use
regrouping for addition or subtraction with accuracy. Answers are proven using
words, numbers or pictures.
Geometry Describing Shapes
The task asks students to identify the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. Students
who are successful can identify the correct number of sides and corners of a given
shape as well as compare the lengths of the sides on a shape. They can name common
geometric shapes.
Number Operations Pam’s Shopping Trip
The task asks students to calculate buying caps and balls for a baseball team.
Successful students use repeated subtraction, equal sharing and forming equal groups
to find the price for one unit. They can use repeated addition or counting by multiples
to find the price for several items. Student use previously calculated information to
find the total cost of equipment for four players.
Measurement The Track Team
The task asks students to find the number of jumps two students will make from a
start to a finish line. Successful students find the total number of jumps by iterating
each jumping unit. Students compare units and predict whether the measures will be
greater or smaller when a different unit is used. Successful students can identify the
person to finish first and explain their thinking.

Successful students will also provide two additional facts about the graph. Number Operations
Addition Shapes
The task asks students to use the addends of 3 and/or 5 to reach given sums. Successful students demonstrate fluency in the addition of whole numbers to reach a sum. These students can think flexibly and design a similar problem. Students are able to use the conditions in the problem throughout the task. Geometry
Making Designs
The task asks students to name and identify the attributes of two dimensional shapes and to find shapes within other shapes. Successful students are able to take apart and put together the same large shape in two different ways using triangles, trapezoids, and hexagons. They can identify the number and kinds of shapes inside the large designs. Number Operations
Incredible Equations
The task asks students to find the missing parts of incomplete equations equal to 16. Students who are successful use strategies to estimate and to solve problems involving addition and subtraction. These students move flexibly between addition and subtraction and may know how these operations are related to one another. Successful students understand the equals sign as a balance point between the two sides of an equation.

Core Idea Task Score Number Operations Pocket Money SC This task asks students to demonstrate an understanding of whole numbers and how to represent and use them in flexible ways, including relating, composing, and decomposing numbers. Successful students demonstrate fluency in adding and subtracting whole numbers in context, and they are able to communicate reasoning using words, numbers, or pictures. Data Analysis Pets SC This task asks students to represent the same data in more than one way. Students who are successful are able to compare and combine values on the graph, and use words, numbers, or pictures to explain their reasoning. Students should demonstrate that they understand that the data represented in the tally table and in the bar graph is the same information, and should be consistent. Successful students will also provide a statement that shows they can differentiate between the types of information provided about the data set based on the type of graph used to represent the data. Geometry Don’s Shapes SC This task asks students to describe and classify two-dimensional shapes. Successful students are able to identify the two shapes that make up a larger shape, using triangles, rectangles, and squares. They can sort a set of two-dimensional shapes based on the attribute of having straight sides or not. Successful students demonstrate that they can identify and compare shapes based on geometric attributes such as number of sides and angles, rather than size, appearance, or orientation. Algebra Building Walls SC This task asks students to identify and extend a growing pattern of blocks in a wall, using drawings and numbers to describe the growth. Successful students identify and use the growth element to determine the number of blocks used to create walls at various stages of the pattern. They can also communicate reasoning using words, numbers, or pictures to translate between representations of shape and number in the pattern. Number Operations Carol’s Numbers SC This task asks students to use their knowledge of place value to arrange three digits to make the largest and smallest combination. Students are also asked to place numbers on a number line. Successful students were able to think about scale and order is arranging the numbers on the number line.

Task Descriptions
Core Idea Task Algebra, Patterns, and
Functions Same Number, Same Shape
The task asks students to think about variables and unknowns in number sentences that use addition and subtraction. Successful students understand that the same shape represents the same quantity, and can follow this constraint when composing and decomposing numbers to 20. They can also successfully add and subtract in a variety of circumstances, including mixed operations in a single number sentence and performing missing addend calculations.
Number Operations Apple Farm Field Trip The task asks students to interpret story situations in order to set up and perform two-digit addition and subtraction calculations. Students who are successful can accurately determine if a situation in context is combining, separating, or comparing quantities, and can choose an appropriate operation and number sentence to solve the problem. They can use a variety of strategies for performing addition or subtraction with accuracy and flexibility. They can prove their answer using words, numbers or pictures.
Data Top Lunch Choices The task asks students to read and interpret a pictograph. Students who are successful can use the relevant features of the graph and the data represented on the graph to make mathematical statements about quantity and comparison.
Measurement High Horse The task asks students to find the number of hands a mom and child will need to measure the height of a horse. Successful students find the total number of hands by iterating each hand unit. They can compare units and predict whether the measures will be greater or smaller when a different unit is used. Successful students can identify the person to use the fewest and greatest number of hands, and explain their thinking.
Number Operations Auntie Em’s Cookies The task asks students to make sense of halving shapes and numbers. Successful students can identify a line of symmetry for a variety of regular and irregular shapes. They can also work backwards to complete a shape from half to whole. They are also asked to think about halving different quantities, even when the results are not a whole number.
