Common Core State Standards (CCSS-M) — Maine

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.

What is 1110|11 - 10|?

First compute the difference: 1110=111 - 10 = 1. Then take the absolute value: 1=1|1| = 1.

What is 9.6÷69.6 \div 6?

Result: 1.61.6.

Evaluate: 12+(6)-12 + (-6).

Add: 12+(6)=18-12 + (-6) = -18.

What is 56÷35\dfrac{5}{6} \div \dfrac{3}{5}?

Multiply by the reciprocal: 56×53=2518=2518\dfrac{5}{6} \times \dfrac{5}{3} = \dfrac{25}{18} = \dfrac{25}{18}.

On the real number line, how many integers are strictly between 73\dfrac{7}{3} and 475\dfrac{47}{5}?

Convert: 732.33\dfrac{7}{3} \approx 2.33 and 475=9.4\dfrac{47}{5} = 9.4. Integers nn with 2.33<n<9.42.33 < n < 9.4 are 3,4,5,6,7,8,93, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Count with 93+19 - 3 + 1: subtracting endpoints gives the gap between them; the +1+1 counts both 33 and 99 inclusive.

What is 2|-2|?

Absolute value gives the non-negative distance from 00, so 2=2|-2| = 2.
