Number and Operations in Base Ten skills
Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times what it represents in the place to its right
Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths
Use place value understanding to round decimals
Multiply whole numbers using place value and the properties of operations
Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors
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.)
MCA uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).
