New York State Learning Standards / New York State Next Generation Learning Standards (NGLS) — New York
The test asks students to apply and extend arithmetic, reason about expressions and equations, and solve linear equations and inequalities. This Grades 3–8 reporting domain maps to 6 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.
New York State Learning Standards / New York State Next Generation Learning Standards (NGLS) — New York
New York’s Grades 3–8 math tests and Regents math exams are state-developed assessments rather than a shared national framework. The grades 3–8 exams are aligned to New York State learning standards, and the Regents math sequence includes Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II, with the June 2026 Algebra II exam explicitly based on the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards.
Grades 3–8: the official page and the retrieved administration guide describe item/credit structure and timing, but no published domain-by-domain blueprint weighting was located in the primary sources used here. Regents (high school): NYSED publishes a per-conceptual-category 'percent of test by credit' blueprint for each course in its Educator Guides. Algebra I — Number & Quantity 4%–10%, Algebra 48%–61%, Functions 24%–32%, Statistics & Probability 7%–15%. Geometry (single conceptual category, by domain) — Congruence (G-CO) 27%–34%, Similarity, Right Triangles, & Trigonometry (G-SRT) 29%–37%, Circles (G-C) 2%–8%, Expressing Geometric Properties with Equations (G-GPE) 12%–18%, Geometric Measurement & Dimensions (G-GMD) 2%–8%, Modeling with Geometry (G-MG) 8%–15%. Algebra II — Number & Quantity 4%–8%, Algebra 30%–39%, Functions 38%–45%, Statistics & Probability 14%–22%.
