The following released test questions are taken from the Grade 6 Mathematics Standards Test. This test is
one of the California Standards Tests administered as part of the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)
Program under policies set by the State Board of Education.
All questions on the California Standards Tests are evaluated by committees of content experts, including
teachers and administrators, to ensure their appropriateness for measuring the California academic content
standards in Grade 6 Mathematics. In addition to content, all items are reviewed and approved to ensure
their adherence to the principles of fairness and to ensure no bias exists with respect to characteristics such
as gender, ethnicity, and language.
This document contains released test questions from the California Standards Test forms in 2003, 2004, 2005,
and 2006. First on the pages that follow are lists of the standards assessed on the Grade 6 Mathematics Test.
Next are released test questions. Following the questions is a table that gives the correct answer for each
question, the content standard that each question is measuring, and the year each question last appeared
on the test.
The following table lists each strand/reporting cluster, the number of items that appear on the exam, and the
number of released test questions that appear in this document.

In selecting test questions for release, three criteria are used: (1) the questions adequately cover a selection of
the academic content standards assessed on the Grade 6 Mathematics Test; (2) the questions demonstrate a
range of difficulty; and (3) the questions present a variety of ways standards can be assessed. These released
test questions do not reflect all of the ways the standards may be assessed. Released test questions will not
appear on future tests.

Number Sense
1.1 Compare and order positive and negative fractions, decimals, and
3
mixed numbers and place them on a number line.
1.2 Interpret and use ratios in different contexts (e.g., batting averages,
1 miles per hour) to show the relative sizes of two quantities, using
appropriate notations (a/b, a to b, a:b).
1.3 Use proportions to solve problems (e.g., determine the value of N if
4/7 = N/ 21, find the length of a side of a polygon similar to a known
6 polygon). Use cross-multiplication as a method for solving such problems,
understanding it as the multiplication of both sides of an equation by a
multiplicative inverse.
1.4 Calculate given percentages of quantities & solve problems
5
involving discounts at sales, interest earned, & tips
2.1 Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
1/2* division of positive fractions and explain why a particular operation was
used for a given situation.
2.2 Explain the meaning of multiplication and division of positive fractions
1/2*
and perform the calculations.
2.3 Solve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems,
6 including those arising in concrete situations that use positive and negative
integers and combinations of these operations.
2.4 Determine the least common multiple and the greatest common
divisor of whole numbers; use them to solve problems with fractions (to
3
find a common denominator to add two fractions or to find the reduced
form for a fraction)
Algebra and Functions
6 1.1 Write and solve one-step linear equations in one variable.
1.2 Write and evaluate an algebraic expression for a given situation, using
1
up to three variables.
1.3 Apply algebraic order of operations and the commutative, associative,
1 and distributive properties to evaluate expressions; and justify each step in
the process.
1.4 Solve problems manually by using the correct order of operations or by
1
using a scientific calculator.
2.1 Convert one unit of measurement to another (e.g., from feet to miles,
1
from centimeters to inches).
2.2 Demonstrate an understanding that rate is a measure of one quantity
6
per unit value of another quantity.
1 2.3 Solve problems involving rates, average speed, distance, and time.
3.1 Use variables in expressions describing geometric quantities (e.g., P =
1 2w + 2l, A = 1/2bh, C = πd – the formulas for the perimeter of a rectangle,
the area of a triangle, and the circumference of a circle, respectively).
1 3.2 Express in symbolic form simple relationships arising from geometry.

Algebra and Functions
1.1 Use variables and appropriate operations to write an expression, an equation, an
1 inequality, or a system of equations or inequalities that represents a verbal description
(e.g., three less than a number, half a large as area A).
1 1.2 Use the correct order of operations to evaluate algebraic expressions such as 3(2x + 5)2.
1.3 Simplify numerical expressions by applying properties of rational numbers ( e.g.,
5
identify, inverse, distributive, associative, commutative) and justify the process used.
1.4 Use algebraic terminology (e.g., variable, equation, term, coefficient, inequality,
1/3*
expression, constant) correctly.
1.5 Represent quantitative relationships graphically and interpret the meaning of a specific
2/3*
part of a graph in the situation represented by the graph.
2.1 Interpret positive whole-number powers as repeated multiplication and negative whole-
1 number powers as repeated division or multiplication by the multiplicative inverse.
Simplify and evaluate expressions that include exponents.
2.2 Multiply and divide monomials; extend the process of taking powers and extracting
1
roots to monomials when the latter results in a monomial with an integer exponent.
2/3* 3.1 Graph functions of the form y = nx2 and y = nx3 and use in solving problems.
3.2 Plot the values from the volumes of three-dimensional shapes for various values of the
1/3* edge lengths (e.g., cubes with varying edge lengths or a triangle prism with a fixed height
and an equilateral triangle base of varying lengths).
3.3 Graph linear functions, noting that the vertical change (change in y-value) per unit
2 of horizontal change (change in x-value) is always the same and know that the ratio (“rise
over run”) is called the slope of a graph.
3.4 Plot the values of quantities whose ratios are always the same (e.g., cost to the
2 number of an item, feet to inches, circumference to diameter of a circle). Fit a line to the
plot and understand that the slope of the line equals the ratio of the quantities.
4.1 Solve two-step linear equations and inequalities in one variable over the rational
5 numbers, interpret the solution or solutions in the context from which they arose, and
verify the reasonableness of the results.
4.2 Solve multistep problems involving rate, average speed, distance, and time or a
5
direct variation.

Measurement and Geometry
1.1 Compare weights capacities, geometric measures, times and temperatures within and
2/3* between measurement systems (e.g., miles per hour and feet per second, cubic inches to
cubic centimeters).
1/3* 1.2 Construct and read drawings and models made to scale.
1.3 Use measures expressed as rates (e.g., speed, density) and measures expressed as
3 products (e.g., person-days) to solve problems; check the units of the solutions; and use
dimensional analysis to check the reasonableness of the answer.
2.1 Use formulas routinely for finding the perimeter and area of basic two-dimensional
figures and the surface area and volume of basic three-dimensional figures and the surface
1/3* area and volume of basic three-dimensional figures, including rectangles, parallelograms,
trapezoids, squares, triangles, circles, prisms, and cylinders.
2.2 Estimate and compute the area of more complex or irregular two- and three-
1/3* dimensional figures by breaking the figures down into more basic geometric objects.
2.3 Compute the length of the perimeter, the surface area of the faces, and the volume of a
three-dimensional object built from rectangular solids. Understand that when the lengths
1/3* of all dimensions are multiplied by a scale factor, the surface area is multiplied by the
square of the scale factor and the volume is multiplied by the cube of the scale factor.
2.4 Relate the changes in measurement with a change of scale to the units used (e.g.,
square inches, cubic feet) and to conversions between units (1 square foot = 144 square
1/3* inches or [1 ft.2] = [144 in.2]; 1 cubic inch is approximately 16.38 cubic centimeters or [1
in.3] = [16.38 cm3]).
3.1 Identify and construct basic elements of geometric figures (e.g., altitudes, midpoints,
1/3* diagonals, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors; central angles, radii, diameters, and
chords of circles) by using a compass and straightedge.
3.2 Understand and use coordinate graphs to plot simple figures, determine lengths and
1/3* areas related to them, and determine their image under translations and reflections.
3.3 Know and understand the Pythagorean theorem and its converse and use it to find
4 the length of the missing side of a right triangle and the lengths of other line segments and,
in some situations, empirically verify the Pythagorean theorem by direct measurement.
3.4 Demonstrate an understanding of conditions that indicate two geometrical figures
2 are congruent and what congruence means about the relationships between the sides and
angles of the two figures.
3.5 Construct two-dimensional patterns for three-dimensional models, such as cylinders,
0 prisms, and cones.
3.6 Identify elements of three-dimensional geometric objects (e.g., diagonals of
1 rectangular solids) and describe how two or more objects are related in space (e.g., skew
lines, the possible ways three planes might intersect).
Statistics, Data Analysis, and Probability
1.1 Know various forms of display for data sets, including a stem-and-leaf plot or box-and-
1 whisker plot; use the forms to display a single set of data or to compare two sets of data.
1.2 Represent two numerical variables on a scatterplot and informally describe how the
1 data points are distributed and any apparent relationship that exists between the two
variables (e.g., between time spent on homework and grade level).
1.3 Understand the meaning of, and be able to compute, the minimum, the lower
3 quartile, the median, the upper quartile, and the maximum of a data set.
* Fractional values indicate rotated standards (e.g, 1/2 = rotated every two years; 1/3 = rotated every three years)
Key standards comprise a minimum of 70% of the test.
