How the Maine MTA reports it

Maine Through-Year Assessment is Maine’s state assessment program delivered with NWEA MAP Growth item pools and through-year administration. The public sources identify it as a Maine DOE assessment aligned to Common Core State Standards in math, but Maine uses its own through-year blueprint rather than a separate national framework.

Blueprint & weighting

No official per-domain item weighting was located in the Maine DOE public assessment posts or the cited pages. The public Maine DOE materials emphasize a through-year model with fall-to-spring growth measurement rather than a published domain-by-domain blueprint.

Find the surface area of a sphere with radius $1$ . Use $\pi = 3$ .

$SA = 4 \pi r^{2} = 4 \times 3 \times 1 = 12$ .

Practice playeasy

A cylinder has $r^2 = 9$ and height $3$ . Using $\pi = 3$ , what is its volume?

$V = \pi r^2 h = 3 \times 9 \times 3 = 81$ .

Practice playeasy

Two angles are complementary. One measures $10°$ . What is the other?

$90 - 10 = 80°$ .

Practice playeasy

A circle has a radius of $8$ inches. What is the circumference, in inches, of the circle?

The circumference of a circle is $C = 2\pi r$ . Substitute $r = 8$ : $C = 2\pi(8) = 16\pi\textsf{.}$

Practice playeasy

A circle has diameter $6$ . Using $\pi = 3$ , what is its circumference?

$C = \pi d = 3 \times 6 = 18$ .

Practice playeasy

What is the distance from $(2, 3)$ to $(9, 3)$ ?

Both points have $y = 3$ , so the distance is $|9 - 2| = 7$ .

Practice playeasy

In $\triangle ABC$ , $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ are congruent. The measure of $\angle A$ is $124.8^{\circ}$ . What is the measure of $\angle C$ ?

Each congruent angle is $\dfrac{180^{\circ} - 124.8^{\circ}}{2} = 27.6^{\circ}$ .

Practice playhard

A rectangular prism has a square base and height $6$ meters. Its volume is $96$ cubic meters. What is the side length of the base, in meters?

$V = s^2 h$ , so $96 = s^2 \cdot 6$ and $s^2 = 16$ . Then $s = 4\text{ m}\textsf{.}$
