Take the Common Core 4th grade math test

Take the Common Core 4th grade math test

This week, more than a third of students in Monroe County's suburban school districts declined to take the state English language arts exam for grades 3-8.

The next round comes Wednesday, the first of three days of math testing for the same students. The tests take about 90 minutes each day.

There is a fine line between challenging standards and developmentally inappropriate material. The state and testing defenders say they're toeing that line; opters-out believe it's been crossed.

Here is a chance to see for yourself.

Last year, the New York State Education Department released sample questions from the 2014 math and ELA exams. The tests include multiple choice, short-answer and long-form answer.

Talk about the tests

Reporter Justin Murphy will appear on "Connections With Evan Dawson" at noon Tuesday to discuss the state tests and the refusal movement and to take callers' questions. Other local education experts will also be part of the panel discussion. The show airs on WXXI 1370 AM and WRUR 88.5 FM.
