Matching Item 1 (MAT-1)
Objective:	Define the concepts of length, area, perimeter, parallelism, circumference, volume, and surface area and calculate these when appropriate.	
Given:		
Question Stem:	What are the definitions of a variety of geometry concepts?	
Instructions:	Math each math term with the corresponding definition. Each answer can only be used once. Write the letter to the left of the term.	
Note: Matching items consist of several premises (on the left) and a set of response options (on the right). There are basically two forms of matching items: One has a short list of premises with a longer list of response options, not all of which are used. The other has a longer list of premises with a shorter list of response options, any one of which may match multiple premises. Regardless of which type it is, every premise must have a matching response, but there may be responses (distractors or foils) that do not match any premise. (Refer to the discussion of matching items in The Art of Item Development for a more complete discussion.)
Key		Premises			Response Options	
		Type each premise in a numbered box below.			Type each response option in a lettered box below. Type the letter(s) of the response option(s) in the “key” column to the left of the matching premise. Options should be relatively short phrases or sentences.	
d	1	length		a	the border or outer boundary of a two-dimensional figure	
h	2	area		b	the outer boundary, especially of a circular area	
a	3	perimeter		c	a straight line passing through the center of a circle or sphere	
e	4	parallelism		d	the longest extent of anything as measured from end to end	
b	5	circumference		e	the position or relation of parallels	
g	6	volume		f	a dimension taken through an object or body of material, usually downward from an upper surface	
	7			g	the amount of space, measured in cubic units, that an object or substance occupies	
	8			h	any particular extent of space or surface

Matching Item 2 (MAT-2)
Objective:	Define the properties of complementary, supplementary, vertical, and exterior angles.	
Given:		
Question Stem:	What are the properties of a variety of angles?	
Instructions:	Match each type of angle with its characteristics on the right. Write the corresponding letter to the left of the angle name. Each answer can only be used once.	
Note: Matching items consist of several premises (on the left) and a set of response options (on the right). There are basically two forms of matching items: One has a short list of premises with a longer list of response options, not all of which are used. The other has a longer list of premises with a shorter list of response options, any one of which may match multiple premises. Regardless of which type it is, every premise must have a matching response, but there may be responses (distractors or foils) that do not match any premise. (Refer to the discussion of matching items in The Art of Item Development for a more complete discussion.)
Key		Premises			Response Options	
		Type each premise in a numbered box below.			Type each response option in a lettered box below. Type the letter(s) of the response option(s) in the “key” column to the left of the matching premise. Options should be relatively short phrases or sentences.	
a	1	complimentary		a	two angles that add up to 90 degrees	
c	2	supplementary		b	angle formed when parallel lines get crossed by another line	
d	3	vertical		c	Two angles that add up to 180 degrees	
e	4	exterior		d	angles opposite each other when two lines cross	
	5			e	the angle between any side of a shape, and a line extended from the next side	
	6			f	A single angle that is greater than 180°	
	7			g		
	8			h

Matching Item 3 (MAT-3)
Objective:	Identify the properties of angles in basic geometric figures.	
Given:		
Question Stem:	What are the different angle types contained in specific triangle types?	
Instructions:	Match the triangle type on the left with its corresponding properties on the right. Place the matching letter to the right of the triangle name. Each answer can only be used once.	
Note: Matching items consist of several premises (on the left) and a set of response options (on the right). There are basically two forms of matching items: One has a short list of premises with a longer list of response options, not all of which are used.

(Refer to the discussion of matching items in The Art of Item Development for a more complete discussion.)
Key		Premises			Response Options	
		Type each premise in a numbered box below.			Type each response option in a lettered box below. Type the letter(s) of the response option(s) in the “key” column to the left of the matching premise. Options should be relatively short phrases or sentences.	
e	1	Right Isosceles Triangle		a	No equal angles, no equal sides	
b	2	Obtuse triangle		b	One angle >90 degrees, two acute angles	
c	3	Acute triangle		c	Three angles <90 degrees	
a	4	Scalene triangle		d	One angle >90 degrees, two equal angles	
	5			e	One right angle, two equal angles	
	6			f	Two 90 degree angles, one acute angle	
	7			g		
	8			h
