Standards basis

Nebraska College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics (2019; Common Core–aligned domain structure) — Nebraska

How the NeSA reports it

Nebraska’s statewide math assessment is administered through NSCAS, but the official assessment page does not publish a test-specific math blueprint or reporting-category document on the page reviewed. In the absence of a public blueprint, the most defensible coverage map is the Nebraska College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics, which are the state’s current standards basis and closely mirror Common Core-style grade-level domains.

Blueprint & weighting

No public test blueprint or per-domain item weighting was located on the Nebraska Department of Education assessment page reviewed. The page references NSCAS testing windows and general statewide assessment materials, but not math reporting-category percentages.
