OR SBAC Grade 6 Concepts and Procedures. Practice it free.

Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency. Targets are clusters of the 2021 Oregon K-12 Math Standards; the 2025-26 blueprint draws 10 of the grade 6 CAT's 19 items from these targets — 7 from priority target sets, 3 from supporting. Beginning in grade 6 the CAT has one segment with an embedded Desmos calculator and one calculator-free segment, consistent with Smarter Balanced item specifications. This Grade 6 reporting domain maps to 22 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.

Standards basis

2021 Oregon K-12 Math Standards (CCSS-M-derived Oregon standards, with renamed domains and an added Data Reasoning strand) — Oregon

How the OR SBAC reports it

Oregon's statewide summative math test — part of OSAS, the Oregon Statewide Assessment System (the landing slug keeps the legacy OAKS name) — is developed through Smarter Balanced: a computer-adaptive test plus a performance task, organized into the four Smarter Balanced claims. Since aligning to the 2021 Oregon K-12 Math Standards, Oregon publishes its own blueprint rather than the consortium's: Claim 1 assessment targets carry Oregon cluster codes with renamed/regrouped domains (GM geometric measurement and DR data reasoning replace MD and SP; AEE and AFN replace EE and F; grade 7 probability moves to 7.RP.B), each cross-referenced to its former Smarter Balanced letter target, plus new Oregon-developed Data Reasoning targets field tested in 2024-25. Claims 2-4 keep the Smarter Balanced process targets (Claim 4 without the consortium's Target G, and Claim 3 Target G appearing on the grade 6-8 and 11 blueprints only). Claim 1 targets are grouped into priority and supporting target sets with published per-set item counts.

Blueprint & weighting

OSAS Summative Mathematics Test Blueprints (2025-26, last updated 12/22/2025): each grade's CAT draws 10 Claim 1 items in grades 3-8 (7 from priority target sets and 3 from supporting; 6 and 4 in grade 5) and 13 in grade 11 (9 priority, 4 supporting), 3 items from combined Claims 2 and 4, 4 Claim 3 items, and 2 unscored field-test items — 19 CAT items total in grades 3-8, 22 in grade 11. The performance task adds 4-6 items: 1-2 Claim 2, 0-2 Claim 3, 1-3 Claim 4, and no Claim 1 items (PTs assess the practice standards, drawing scenarios from across Claim 1 content domains). Per-target-set item counts are published in the blueprint tables; no percentage weighting is published.

A clinic recorded customer wait times, in minutes, for 1616 visits. The frequency table shows the results.
Wait time (min)Number of customers225382116143\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Wait time (min)} & \text{Number of customers} \\ \hline 2 & 2 \\ 5 & 3 \\ 8 & 2 \\ 11 & 6 \\ 14 & 3 \end{array}

What is the median wait time?

Expand to 1616 wait times: 2,2,5,5,5,8,8,11,11,11,11,11,11,14,14,142, 2, 5, 5, 5, 8, 8, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 14, 14, 14. The 88th and 99th values are both 1111, so the median is 1111 minutes.

Mia writes three survey questions:

• How many minutes do students in my class spend on homework?
• How many minutes did I spend on homework last night?
• How tall are the players on my team?

How many of the three are statistical questions?

A statistical question anticipates variability. Asking how many minutes students spend on homework, and how tall the players are, both ask about a group, so the answers can differ. Asking how many minutes I spent last night asks about one person on one night, so it has one answer. That makes 22 statistical questions.

A student logs five daily page counts: 2020, 2525, 3030, 3535, and 4040. A sixth day with 4545 pages read is added to the data set. How does this affect the mean?

The mean of the original five counts is 20+25+30+35+405=30\dfrac{20+25+30+35+40}{5}=30 pages. Because 45>3045>30, adding 4545 pulls the mean up.

The practice times, in minutes, for five days are 18,18\textsf{,} 22,22\textsf{,} 30,30\textsf{,} 20,20\textsf{,} and 35.35\textsf{.} What is the mean practice time?

Mean =18+22+30+20+355=1255=25= \dfrac{18 + 22 + 30 + 20 + 35}{5} = \dfrac{125}{5} = 25.

What is 54|5 - 4|?

First compute the difference: 54=15 - 4 = 1. Then take the absolute value: 1=1|1| = 1.
