How the AK STAR structures Grade 9 math
The blueprint gives target item counts and point ranges by grade and strand, rather than fixed percentage weights. Grades 3-5 and 6-9 each include summative item counts plus additional growth items; grade 9 has no summative Geometry strand, with Geometry reported only through growth items.
