Read the first 7 Math Goals Scoring flashcards as text

  1. A CASAS Math Goals item requires a learner to calculate the total cost of buying 4 items at $3.75 each after a 10% discount. This item primarily assesses which mathematical domain?

    Answer: Number sense and operations with percent applications

    Calculating a percent discount on a repeated-purchase problem directly tests number sense, multiplication, and percent operations.

  2. On a CASAS Math Goals test, a learner reads a bar graph of monthly utility bills and identifies which month had the highest cost. Which competency area does this represent?

    Answer: Data analysis and statistics

    Reading and interpreting a bar graph to draw conclusions is a data analysis and statistics competency.

  3. Which of the following best characterizes a CASAS Math Goals item at the ASE level (scores ~243–260)?

    Answer: Multi-step problems involving ratios, proportions, or introductory algebra in workplace contexts

    ASE-level items require higher-order thinking such as multi-step ratio/proportion problems or beginning algebraic reasoning embedded in real-world scenarios.

  4. A workplace-contextualized CASAS Math Goals item asks a learner to convert 2.5 hours to minutes to complete a time sheet. Which skill does this assess?

    Answer: Measurement and unit conversion in a functional context

    Converting between units of time (hours to minutes) in a job-related context is a measurement and unit conversion skill.

  5. CASAS Math Goals items are designed to reflect tasks adults encounter in which settings?

    Answer: Daily life, community, and workplace contexts

    CASAS is built on functional competencies grounded in real-life, community, and workforce situations relevant to adult learners.

  6. When a CASAS Math Goals item presents a pay stub with gross pay, deductions, and net pay, and asks the learner to verify a calculation error, which competency is primarily measured?

    Answer: Number operations in a financial/workplace context

    Verifying arithmetic on a pay stub is a number-operations task embedded in a financial workplace context.

  7. A CASAS Math Goals item shows a scale drawing of a room and asks the learner to calculate the actual floor area using the given scale. Which domains does this item integrate?

    Answer: Measurement and geometry with proportional reasoning

    Using a scale drawing requires interpreting a ratio (the scale), applying proportional reasoning, and computing area—combining measurement, geometry, and proportional thinking.
