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).

Which property is $(2 \times 3) \times 4 = 2 \times (3 \times 4)$ ?

$(2 \times 3) \times 4 = 2 \times (3 \times 4)$ shows the grouping of the multiplication does not change the answer, so the expressions are equal in value. This is the associative property.
