RMA
RAPID MATH ASSESSMENT (RMA) GRADE 7-10
1. Number Expressions Verification
Box 1 Number Expressions:
$2 imes 2 - 3 times 1$
$3 imes 3 - 4 times 2$
$4 imes 4 - 5 times 3$
$5 imes 5 - 6 times 4$
Verification Task (Item 1): Show computation for $4 imes 4 - 5 imes 3$.
Step 1: Compute $4 times 4 = 16$
Step 2: Compute $5 times 3 = 15$
Step 3: Subtract the results: $16 - 15$
Final Answer: $1$
2. Next Number Expression
Task (Item 2): Determine the next number expression for $5 times 5 - 6 times 4$.
Answer: Next expression is $6 times 6 - 7 imes 5$.
3. Algebraic Representation
Task (Item 3): Identify the algebraic expression representing the number expressions in Box 1.
Options:
a. $(n)(n) (n + 3)(n + 1)$
b. $(n)(n) - [(n + 1)(n - 1)]$
c. $(n-1)(n - 1) - n(n - 2)$
d. $n^2 - 3n(1)$
e. $n^2 - n - 1$
Observation: Since Box 1 simplifies to 1, the algebraic expression must also simplify to 1.
4. Identification of Numbers in Expressions
Task (Item 4): Identify the first and third numbers in the numerical expression.
1st number: $-n$ in the numerical expression.
3rd number: $-n$.
5. Powers of 2
Table 1: Powers of 2
Exponential Form: $2^2$, $2^3$, $2^4$, $2^5$
Expanded Form: $2 imes 2$, $2 imes 2 imes 2$, $2 imes 2 imes 2 imes 2$, $2 imes 2 imes 2 imes 2 imes 2$
Values: $4 (2^2)$, $8 (2^3)$, $16 (2^4)$, $32 (2^5)$
Tasks:
Item 6: Show that $1024$ is a power of $2$ using Table 1.
Item 7: Write the exponential form of $1024$.
6. Other Questions
Item 9: Inquiry on numbers between $0.998$ and $0.999$.
Answer: Yes, for example, $0.9995$ is one such number.
Item 10: Show computation for subtracting $0.998$ from $0.999$:
$0.999 - 0.998 = 0.001$
7. Student Absences and Grades Graph
Graph Information: Relationship between student absences (x-axis) and overall academic grades (y-axis)
Point representation: Each point corresponds to an individual student's data.
Tasks:
Item 12: Count students with a grade below 84 (observed from 5 points below the line).
Item 13: Justification based on the graph.
Item 14: Correct interpretations of the data shown:
a. As absences increase, overall academic grades also increase.
b. As absences decrease, grades increase.
c. As absences increase, grades decrease. (Correct Answer)
8. RANGE and Financial Aid
Range Formula: Range = Highest Value - Lowest Value
Task 16: Should both Purok receive the same amount of financial aid based on average income? Consider the graph information shown.
9. Participation in Activities
Table 2 Summary: Participation in music and sports activities for Grade 7 students.
Task 17 - Item 20:
Count of students participating in music: $18$.
Students not participating in any activities: $19$.
Probability for both activities:
Formula: $P= rac{ ext{Number participating in both}}{ ext{Total students}}$
10. Coordinates on Cartesian Plane
Fig 4 Description: Coordinates with respective points A (-2,4), B (2,0).
Tasks:
Item 23: Determine coordinates of point C
