Standards basis

North Dakota State Content Standards for Mathematics — North Dakota

How the NDSA reports it

North Dakota administered its own state assessment program (the NDSA, a Cambium computer-adaptive test in grades 3-8 and 10; replaced by ND A+ beginning spring 2025). An official NDSA mathematics public-facing CAT blueprint (Cambium/NDDPI, Oct 2020) does exist and lists per-grade reporting categories with percentage ranges, but its full per-grade table could not be retrieved character-for-character from a citable primary source for transcription here (the Cambium content CDN blocks programmatic access). The NDSA reporting categories are the CCSS-M grade-level domains: the assessment was built on North Dakota's 2017 math standards, which are verbatim CCSS-M organized by grade-level domains. The coverage map below uses North Dakota's 2023-standards-style domain/standard codes (e.g. 3.AR.OA) but the skill content is CCSS-M.

Blueprint & weighting

An official NDSA mathematics CAT blueprint (Cambium/NDDPI public-facing CAT version, Oct 2020) publishes per-grade reporting-category percentage ranges (e.g. grade 3 Operations and Algebraic Thinking ~31-34%, Number and Operations in Base Ten ~22-24%; grade 6 groups Ratios & Proportional Relationships and The Number System ~28-34% and Expressions and Equations ~25-29%). The complete per-grade table could not be retrieved verbatim from a citable primary source (the Cambium content CDN returns HTTP 403 to programmatic fetches), so domain weights in the mapping are left null rather than transcribing partial/uncertain figures or splitting blueprint percentages across the grade-6+ domain groupings.
