What the test measures

Number and Operations in Base Ten skills

  1. generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers

  2. use place-value strategies and properties of operations to perform arithmetic

  3. round and compare whole numbers

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.
