How the CMAS reports it

CMAS is Colorado’s statewide summative assessment system aligned to the Colorado Academic Standards rather than a national framework like SBAC or NAEP. The official CMAS page and Colorado standards materials indicate the math assessment is built from Colorado Academic Standards, but the retrieved official CMAS page did not expose a separate math blueprint document.

Blueprint & weighting

No official CMAS math domain weighting/percent-of-items blueprint was available in the retrieved primary CMAS materials.

Which property is 2×(3+5)=2×3+2×5\color{red}{2\times}\color{blue}{(3+5)}\color{black}{\,=\,}\color{red}{2\times}\color{blue}{3+}\color{red}{2\times}\color{blue}{5}?

2×(3+5)=2×3+2×5\color{red}{2\times}\color{blue}{(3+5)}\color{black}{\,=\,}\color{red}{2\times}\color{blue}{3+}\color{red}{2\times}\color{blue}{5} shows multiplying across a sum does not change the answer, so the expressions are equal in value. This is the distributive property.

What is 2×72 \times 7?

2×7=142 \times 7 = 14.

Practice playeasy

Which property is 6×1=66 \times 1 = 6?

6×1=66 \times 1 = 6 shows multiplying by 11 does not change the answer, so the expressions are equal in value. This is the identity property.

Practice playeasy

What is 30÷1030 \div 10?

10×3=3010 \times 3 = 30, so 30÷10=330 \div 10 = 3.
