RICAS Grades 3-5 Measurement and Data. Practice it free.
Students describe and compare measurable attributes and analyze data. This Grades 3-5 reporting domain maps to 9 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.
What the test measuresStandards basis How the RICAS reports it Blueprint & weighting Official sources
Measurement and Data skills
convert and compare measurement units
solve problems involving measurement and estimation
represent and interpret data using graphs and plots
understand concepts of area, perimeter, and volume in relevant grades
RICAS mathematics in grades 3–8 is the Rhode Island-administered version of Massachusetts MCAS math, and RIDE states the Massachusetts framework is strongly aligned with Rhode Island’s Common Core-based mathematics standards. The released-item documents report results under the same framework domains used by the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics.
The official source reviewed here did not publish domain percentage weights in the pages/documents retrieved. The released-item documents do state that mathematics results are reported under five MCAS reporting categories identical to the framework domains.
