Grades 3-51 mapped skills
What the test measures

Number and Operations—Fractions skills

  1. develop understanding of fractions as numbers

  2. extend fraction equivalence and ordering

  3. build fractions from unit fractions by using operations

  4. apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to fractions

Standards basis

Common Core State Standards (CCSS-M), via the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics (2017) adopted/used for RICAS alignment — Rhode Island

How the RICAS reports it

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.

Blueprint & weighting

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.
