Montana PK-12 Mathematics Content Standards / Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M)-aligned Montana standards — Montana
Students use the associative, commutative, and distributive properties to multiply and divide within 10×10 and complete facts fluently. This Grade 3 reporting domain maps to 3 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.
Montana PK-12 Mathematics Content Standards / Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M)-aligned Montana standards — Montana
Montana’s MAST is a state-specific through-year assessment built by New Meridian and aligned to Montana’s academic content standards, not a Smarter Balanced-style claims/targets framework. The math blueprints organize content into grade-level strands/testlets that map directly to CCSS-M-derived Montana standards.
The blueprint publishes a through-year design of 12 strands/testlets per grade, with 1 strand per testlet, 2 reporting attributes per strand, and 9–13 items per testlet. It also specifies approximate item-type and DOK distributions, but does not publish percentage weighting by domain in the captured blueprint text.
