Grades 3-5Measurement & Data6 mapped skills
What the test measures

Measurement and Data skills

  1. solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects

  2. represent and interpret data

  3. geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition

  4. solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit

Standards basis

Common Core State Standards (CCSS-M) — District of Columbia

How the DC CAPE reports it

DC CAPE math continues DC’s PARCC-era alignment to the Common Core State Standards and uses the same general development/review approach described by OSSE. The page says DC Math follows the same rigorous development and review process and measures the knowledge and skills that matter most for DC students, while also explicitly tying the assessments to CCSS.

Blueprint & weighting

DC CAPE uses the PARCC-derived / Common Core-based framework (by grade domains structure).
