TESTING THE TESTS: DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE SCALE
Math Depth of Knowledge Level 1 (Grade 7)
Roberto paid $43.08 for three CDs. All three were the same price. How much did each CD cost? A. $11.36 B. $14.36 C. $40.08 D. $46.08
Math Depth of Knowledge Level 4 (Grade 7)
Lucas, Maria, and Rohit are on a class trip and they are each about to buy a souvenir tee-shirt. A store is offering 20 percent off all tee-shirts purchased that day. The city they are visiting has a six percent sales tax.
Lucas says to his classmates, "I hope they apply the tax to the sale price because that way the tax will be on a smaller amount and we'll come out ahead." “But,” Maria says, “wouldn't it be better to get the discount after they add the tax to the original price because that way the discount will be bigger?" Then, Rohit says, "The savings will be the same either way. Let's just buy the shirts so we don't miss the bus home." (a) Who is right? Explain your reasoning. (b) Would the answer be different if the sales tax or sales discount were different?
