Standards basis

Maryland College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics (MCCRSM) — Maryland

How the MCAP reports it

MCAP is Maryland's statewide successor to PARCC, built on the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics (which mirror CCSS-M) — it is not a Smarter Balanced administration despite the claims-style family resemblance. Each grade/course High Level Blueprint (September 2022) organizes the assessment into three subclaims: Content (23-24 one-point machine-scored items, listed per domain/conceptual category as MCCRSM cluster headings), Reasoning (6 items), and Modeling (6 items), the latter two defined by per-grade evidence statements and including constructed-response items. Cluster headings are transcribed verbatim from the blueprints, including their minor typographical deviations from the parallel CCSS-M headings; two evident misprints are normalized (a duplicated sentence fragment on 4.OA.C, and the domain codes printed as G.P.E / T.TF for G.GPE / F.TF). Since March 2025, grade 6-7 students enrolled in a high-school mathematics course may take the corresponding MCAP course assessment instead of the grade-level test.

Blueprint & weighting

Each High Level Blueprint (September 2022) publishes per-domain operational item counts. Content Subclaim (1-point machine-scored items): Grade 3 — OA 7, NBT 2, NF 7, Measurement 5, Geometry 2 (23 items); Grade 4 — OA 4, NBT 5, NF 10, Measurement 3, Geometry 1 (23); Grade 5 — OA 2, NBT 6, NF 9, Measurement 4, Geometry 2 (23); Grade 6 — RP 3, NS 8, EE 8, Geometry 2, SP 2 (23); Grade 7 — RP 8, NS 4, EE 5, Geometry 3, SP 3 (23); Grade 8 — NS 2, EE 10, Functions 5, Geometry 4, SP 2 (23); Algebra I — Number and Quantity 1, Algebra 12, Functions 9, Statistics 2 (24); Geometry — G.CO 7, G.SRT 8, G.C 3, G.GPE 3, G.GMD 1, G.MG 1 (23); Algebra II — Number and Quantity 3, Algebra 8, Functions 11, Statistics 1 (23). Every assessment adds 6 Reasoning Subclaim and 6 Modeling Subclaim operational items — four 1-point machine-scored each, plus two constructed-response items (two 3-point in grades 3-4; one 3-point and one 4-point in grades 5-8; two 4-point in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II) — so a form carries 35 operational items (36 for Algebra I).
