Represent and interpret data on a line plot
Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit

Standards basis

Minnesota Academic Standards in Mathematics (2007; assessed by MCA-III in grades 3-8 and 11 through 2026-27. 2022 standards phase in with MCA-IV beginning 2027-28) — Minnesota

How the MCA reports it

Minnesota’s MCA math is a state assessment tied to Minnesota Academic Standards in Mathematics rather than a separate national framework. The official public resources available here point to Minnesota-specific standards implementation, and absent a test blueprint, the coverage map should be organized by the state’s grade-level math domains that closely parallel CCSS-M. Note: the current MCA-III assesses the 2007 Minnesota standards in grades 3-8 and 11; Minnesota administers a single comprehensive high-school (grade 11) math test, NOT Algebra I / Geometry / Algebra II end-of-course exams — the 'High School / MCA EOC' band below is the grade-11 HS administration. (MCA-IV on the 2022 standards begins 2027-28.)

Blueprint & weighting

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