  2. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole

  3. Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator

  4. Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers

  5. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction

  6. Interpret multiplication as scaling

  7. Create a visual fraction model to show the product of a fraction or whole number by a fraction

  8. Solve real-world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers

  9. Interpret division of a unit fraction by a whole number and a whole number by a unit fraction

Standards basis

Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Mathematics — Kentucky

How the KSA reports it

Kentucky KSA is a state summative assessment built on Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) rather than a separate national framework. For mathematics, the assessed content closely follows Common Core–style grade-band domains in grades 3-8 and uses Kentucky high-school conceptual categories in grade 10.

Blueprint & weighting

KSA uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).
