Mathematics Stimulus Considerations
Stimulus MaterialsModule Overview
• Define the purpose of stimuli
• Identify types of stimuli
• Apply general guidelines to create stimuli
Different Parts of an Item
OPTIONSThe possible answers from which the student must select.
STEMThe question to which the student must respond.
STIMULUSThe text, source, and or graphic about which the item is written.
Examples of StimuliWhich of the numbers is• A factor of 100.• A multiple of 5. A. 4B. 40C. 50D. 500
The table below shows the number of students in each third-grade class at Lincoln School.
Students in the Third-Grade
There are 105 fourth-grade students at Lincoln School. How many more fourth-grade students than third grade students are at Lincoln School? Show your work or explain how you know.

Appropriate Presentation
• Only use necessary graphics
• Formatting techniques can be used to present important information
Example A Example BJohn traced a shape that has exactly four sides, exactly two right angles, and exactly two sides that are the same length.
Which one of the following shapes could John have traced? A. hexagonB. kiteC. rhombusD. trapezoid
John traced a shape that has • exactly four sides, • exactly two right angles, and • exactly two sides that are the
same length.
Which one of the following shapes could John have traced? A. hexagonB. kiteC. rhombusD. trapezoid
Contexts
• Familiar and meaningful to the mathematics
• Appropriate to the grade level
• Use appropriate vocabulary
• Use reliable sources
Examples of Metadata
• Unique Identification Number
• Factual/Non-factual
• Fact Checked
• Linked to other stimuli
• Links to related stimuli
Summary
• Types of stimuli
• Appropriate content and vocabulary
• Metadata
