Grades 3-5Number & Operations—Fractions1 mapped skills

What the test measures

Number and Operations—Fractions skills

develop understanding of fractions as numbers
extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering
build fractions from unit fractions and by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers
apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions

Standards basis

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).
