What the test measures

Measurement and Data skills

  1. Solve problems involving measurement and estimation

  2. Represent and interpret data

  3. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and addition

  4. Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures

Standards basis

Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks / Massachusetts learning standards (CCSS-aligned math standards as adopted by Massachusetts) — Massachusetts

How the MCAS reports it

MCAS is Massachusetts’ statewide assessment program, and its math design is built on Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks rather than a separate multi-state framework. The official MCAS pages state that MCAS assessments are based on the state’s learning standards and that the math tests are organized by Massachusetts grade-band domains/reporting categories.

Blueprint & weighting

The official MCAS math blueprint/test-design materials were not successfully retrievable in this session, so published domain weightings could not be verified from a primary PDF/page.

A line plot (in cups) shows 2 at 34\tfrac{3}{4}, 2 at 14\tfrac{1}{4}. What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total =21= \tfrac{2}{1}.
