Professional Commentary

Students must identify a statement that is always true about the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer. This multiple-choice question is a sample item used in the 2006 Ohio Grade 7 Achievement Test (see Overview of Ohio's Assessment System). The URL link (above) takes the user directly to the OAT item (PDF), with access to performance data, complexity level of the item, and discussion of incorrect responses. The Ohio Department of Education Instructional Management System website allows visitors to search for test items by subject and grade band and build a printable database of questions using the Add to Your Backpack function.
