14 www.FLDOE.org © 2014, Florida Department of Education. All Rights Reserved. FSA Format Grades 3 and 4 paper based exams will consist of multiple choice, multi-select, and equation response questions. All other computer based exams will consist of multiple choice, multi-select, equation response, and technology enhanced questions (using online tools and manipulatives).

15 www.FLDOE.org © 2014, Florida Department of Education. All Rights Reserved. FSA Format – Tools Provided Grades 3 and 4 paper based assessment will not require the use of tools (rulers or protractors, etc). Questions may require students to read a picture of tool to answer a question. Computer based tools provided: Global Tools are those that appear at the top of the screen in the dark gray banner. Stimulus/Question Tools are specific to stimuli and questions, and are accessed by clicking on an icon or right-clicking in the stimulus, question, or answer option areas. These may include rulers, protractors, or other necessary items.

32 www.FLDOE.org © 2014, Florida Department of Education. All Rights Reserved. Calculators

33 www.FLDOE.org © 2014, Florida Department of Education. All Rights Reserved. Calculator type: Scientific Calculator for All. No items on the current Mathematics FSA require the graphing tool in order to solve them. A scientific calculator is sufficient for all items in the calculator session(s) of the Mathematics FSA. Therefore, students may use the computer-based scientific calculator or a hand-held scientific calculator when taking an Mathematics FSA (Grade 7, Grade 8, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2). The Draft Mathematics Policy document will be revised to include a list of prohibited functionalities for scientific calculators (rather than approved models)​.

34 www.FLDOE.org © 2014, Florida Department of Education. All Rights Reserved. Calculators for grades 7, and 8: Students in grades 7 and 8 will be permitted to use the calculator provided within the assessment platform for certain items. Calculators will not be permitted for session 1 but will be permitted for session 2 and 3 for the above mathematics assessments.

35 www.FLDOE.org © 2014, Florida Department of Education. All Rights Reserved. Calculators for Algebra and Geometry: Students taking Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry EOC Assessments will be permitted to use the Scientific calculator provided within the assessment platform for certain items. Calculators will not be permitted for session 1 but will be permitted for session 2 for the above mathematics assessments.
