New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Mathematics (NJSLS-M), aligned to Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) — New Jersey
NJSLA math is built on the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Mathematics, which closely follow the Common Core domain structure and progressions. The assessment is organized by grade-level and end-of-course reporting aligned to those standards rather than by a separate proprietary framework.
NJDOE publishes statewide assessment administration information and grade/course coverage, but no official public math-domain weighting blueprint was located in the retrieved primary materials.

A forest preserve had acres of woodland in . Each year from through , a model estimates that the woodland area decreased by of the area the previous year. Which equation defines this model, where is the estimated woodland area, in acres, years after ?
The starting area is acres, and a yearly decrease means multiplying by each year, so .
The function is defined by . The function models the number of members in a club, where is the number of years after the club was founded. According to the model, what is the estimated number of members when the club was founded?
When the club was founded, . So members.
A substance has a half-life of years. What fraction remains after years?
half-lives. Remaining: .
The function is defined by . The function models the number of registered runners in a charity race years after the first race. Which statement is the best interpretation of the growth factor in this context?
The growth factor is . Each time increases by , the number of runners is multiplied by . That means each year the number of runners is of the previous year's number, a increase.
The given equation represents the weight , in ounces, where represents the number of identical snack bags.
Which of the following is the best interpretation of in this context?
In , the number is the weight in ounces of one snack bag.
A bakery has ounces of flour to make muffins and cookies. The baker uses the equation to figure out how many muffins, , and how many cookies, , can be made. Which is the best interpretation of the number in this equation?
Each muffin uses ounces of flour, so the number of muffins is multiplied by .
