|GSS – Benchmark F |

|2007 OAT – Grade 8 – Problem # 11 Scoring Guidelines: |

|Points |Student Response |

|2 |The focus of this task is to draw the results of a dilation about a fixed point and to state a characteristic of the|

| |object that remains fixed following the dilation. The response provides a grid with the dilated rectangle and states|

| |a characteristic that does not change as a result of the dilation. |

| | |

| |Exemplar Response: |

| |All four angles still measure 90º. |

| |OR |

| |One characteristic that does not change is the ratio of length to width which is 2 in both rectangles. |

| | |

| |Note: |

| |• Vertex labels are not considered in scoring. |

| |• Characteristics may include but are not limited to: angles are 90 degrees, ratio of sides stays the same, opposite|

| |sides are parallel, adjacent sides are perpendicular. |

| | |

| |Unacceptable responses: it is still a rectangle, the perimeter or the area stay the same. |

|1 |The response shows partial evidence of drawing the results of a dilation about a fixed point and stating a |

| |characteristic of the object that remains fixed following the dilation; however, the solution may be incomplete or |

| |slightly flawed. |

| |For example, the response may: |

| |• Provide a correct sketch of the dilated rectangle without a description of a characteristic that does not change. |

| |• Provide a correct statement about a characteristic of a dilation that does not change; however, the response does |

| |not provide a correctly drawn dilation of the rectangle or provides no dilation at all. |

|0 |The response provides inadequate evidence of drawing the results of a dilation about a fixed point and stating a |

| |characteristic of the object that remains fixed following the dilation. The response contains major flaws and errors|

| |in reasoning. |

| |For example, the response may: |

| |• Extend the rectangle 1.5 units in every direction. |

| |• Dilate the rectangle but move the center off the origin. |

| |• Incorrectly draw rectangle PQRS. |

| |• Restate the information provided in the item. |

| |• Be blank or give irrelevant information. |

|GSS – Benchmark B |

|2006 OAT – Grade 8 – Problem # 31 Scoring Guidelines: |

|Points |Student Response |

|2 |Sample Correct Responses: |

| |[pic] |

| |The focus of this task is to make and test conjectures about characteristics and properties of two-dimensional |

| |figures. The response correctly identifies what else must be true about the sides or the angles of the triangles in |

| |order for ∆PQR and ∆EFD to be similar triangles. The response also provides specific examples for these two |

| |triangles. Note: [pic] P = [pic] E is acceptable or |

| |P = E is acceptable. |

|1 |The response provides partial evidence of making and testing conjectures about characteristics and properties of |

| |two-dimensional figures; however, the solution is incomplete or slightly flawed. For example, the response may: |

| |• Provide a proportional statement but reverses the ratios; e.g., |

| |[pic] . |

| |• Provide the definition of similar triangles; e.g., states that sides are proportional and angles are equal. |

|0 |The response provides inadequate evidence of making and testing conjectures about characteristics and properties of |

| |two-dimensional figures. The response has major flaws in reasoning or irrelevant information. For example, the |

| |response may: |

| |• State that if one pair of angles is congruent then all the angles are congruent. So, the triangles are similar. |

| |• Be blank or state unrelated statements. |

| |• Recopy information from the item. |

|GSS – Benchmark B |

|2005 OAT – Grade 8 – Problem # 6 Scoring Guidelines: |

|Points |Student Response |

|2 |Sample Correct Response: |

| |• Since the triangles are similar, corresponding angles ERS and EFG are congruent. In addition, angle ERS is |

| |congruent to angle EFG, because EF intersects parallel lines (RS and FG) and creates congruent corresponding angles.|

| | |

| | |

| |The focus of this task is to describe and apply the properties of similar triangles and parallel lines. The response|

| |explains that because the two triangles are similar, the corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent. |

| |The response also explains that because the lines are parallel corresponding angles are congruent. |

| | |

| |Note: Response does not need to use formal geometric notation. |

|1 |The response shows partial evidence of describing and applying the properties of similar triangles or parallel |

| |lines; however, the solution may be incomplete or slightly flawed. |

| |For example, the response may: |

| |• Suggest that angles ERS and EFG are congruent by similar triangles but fails to mention parallel lines. |

| |• Explain that parallel lines create congruent corresponding angles but fails to use properties of similar |

| |triangles. |

|0 |The response shows inadequate evidence of describing and applying the properties of similar triangles and parallel |

| |lines. The response provides an explanation with major flaws and errors of reasoning. |

| |For example, the response may: |

| |• Restate the information provided in the item. |

| |• Provide irrelevant information. |

| |• Be blank. |
