Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) — Nevada
Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency. Content is drawn from the Grade 5 clusters listed as targets below, with a much greater proportion from clusters the blueprint designates as priority (major) clusters. This Grade 5 reporting domain maps to 7 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.

Nevada administers the consortium Smarter Balanced mathematics summative assessment in grades 3-8 (Nevada Department of Education, Office of Assessments); grade 11 students take the ACT as Nevada's college and career readiness assessment, so the state has no high-school Smarter Balanced administration. The test uses the consortium's shared structure: Claim 1 (Concepts and Procedures) publishes per-grade assessment targets that are verbatim CCSS-M cluster headings; Claims 2-4 are cross-cutting process claims whose targets are constant across grades and draw on the same grade-level content. On score reports, Claims 2 and 4 are combined into a single reporting category, so three claim scores accompany the overall math score.
Content Specifications (Reporting Categories section): the total mathematics score is a weighted composite of the four claims — Claim 1 (Concepts and Procedures) contributes roughly 50%, Claim 3 (Communicating Reasoning) roughly 25%, and combined Claims 2 and 4 (Problem Solving / Modeling and Data Analysis) about 25%. The summative blueprint (as of 2018-19) publishes item counts per test event rather than percentages: Claim 1 is 17-20 items in grades 3-5 and 16-20 in grades 6-8; the Claim 2/4 and Claim 3 reporting categories are 8-10 items each, totaling 18-20 across the two.
