What the test measures

Measurement and Data skills

  1. Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects

  2. Represent and interpret data using scaled picture graphs and scaled bar graphs

  3. Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch

  4. Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition

  5. Recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish perimeter from area

How the PSSA reports it

PSSA is Pennsylvania’s own standards-based, criterion-referenced assessment. Its math reporting structure is built on the Pennsylvania Academic Standards/Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content rather than a separate multi-state framework, and it closely mirrors CCSS-style grade-level domains.

Blueprint & weighting

The official PSSA page lists the Mathematics Test Design and grade-level item/scoring samplers, but the accessible source excerpt did not expose a usable per-domain percentage blueprint; no reliable item-weight table was recoverable from the available primary page text.
