NAEP Mathematics Framework (National Assessment Governing Board framework; not a CCSS-M/state standards test blueprint) — national
Numbers are the main tools for describing the world quantitatively; at grade 12 this area continues to include number sense and operations, with more advanced expectations. This Grade 12 reporting domain maps to 7 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.
NAEP Mathematics Framework (National Assessment Governing Board framework; not a CCSS-M/state standards test blueprint) — national
NAEP mathematics is organized by the National Assessment Governing Board’s framework, not by state standards. The current framework assesses Grades 4, 8, and 12 and uses five content areas, with item distributions and complexity levels specified in the official framework; it is a national assessment and not aligned to Common Core as a governing blueprint, though it reflects broadly modern school math expectations.
Published item distribution by grade and content area: Grade 4 — Number Properties and Operations 40%, Measurement 20%, Geometry 15%, Data Analysis/Statistics/Probability 10%, Algebra 15%; Grade 8 — Number Properties and Operations 20%, Measurement 15%, Geometry 20%, Data Analysis/Statistics/Probability 15%, Algebra 30%; Grade 12 — Number Properties and Operations 10%, Measurement and Geometry 30%, Data Analysis/Statistics/Probability 25%, Algebra 35%.

Which expression is equivalent to ?
, , and . Adding gives .
If and are positive, which expression is equivalent to ?
A square root divides each exponent by : .
The impact speed, in feet per second, of an object dropped from a height can be estimated by multiplying the height, in feet, by and then taking the square root of the product. According to this method, what is the estimated impact speed, in feet per second, of an object dropped from a height of feet?
The product is . Factor , where is the largest perfect-square factor. So , and is square-free.
Simplify: .
.
Which expression is equivalent to ?
, so .
A cooler holds gallons of juice. How many cups of juice is that?
(Note: gallon quarts and quart cups)
Multiply by conversion factors so the old units cancel: .
Divide coefficients and subtract exponents: and . So the quotient is
The NAEP placement starts with this test's real coverage map and finds the right difficulty.
