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).

Iced tea is made with tea concentrate and water in a ratio of 33 to 1212. How many cups of tea concentrate should be added to 33 quarts of water to make the tea in this ratio? (44 cups == 11 quart, 44 quarts == 11 gallon.)

Three quarts of water is 3×4=123 \times 4 = 12 cups. With a 33 to 1212 ratio, 312=x12\dfrac{3}{12} = \dfrac{x}{12}, so x=3x = 3 cups of tea concentrate.

At an animal shelter, the ratio of cats to dogs is 55 to 88. If there are 3535 cats at the shelter, how many dogs are there?

Scale the ratio: 3535 cats is 77 groups of 55, so dogs = 7×8=567 \times 8 = 56.
