SBAC Grade 4 Concepts and Procedures. Practice it free.
Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency. Content is drawn from the Grade 4 clusters listed as targets below, with a much greater proportion from clusters the blueprint designates as priority (major) clusters. This Grade 4 reporting domain maps to 9 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.

Concepts and Procedures skills
Target A: Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems
Target B: Gain familiarity with factors and multiples
Target C: Generate and analyze patterns
Target D: Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers
Target E: Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic
Target F: Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering
Target G: Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers
Target H: Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions
Target I: Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit
Target J: Represent and interpret data
Target K: Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles
Target L: Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles
Smarter Balanced math is organized into four claims with published assessment targets (Mathematics Content Specifications). Claim 1 (Concepts and Procedures) publishes per-grade assessment targets for grades 3-8 and high school, each a verbatim CCSS-M cluster heading (e.g. grade 3 Target A is cluster 3.OA.A); Claims 2-4 are cross-cutting process claims whose targets are constant across grades and draw on the same grade-level content. On score reports, Claims 2 and 4 are combined into a single reporting category, so three claim scores accompany the overall math score.
Content Specifications (Reporting Categories section): the total mathematics score is a weighted composite of the four claims — Claim 1 (Concepts and Procedures) contributes roughly 50%, Claim 3 (Communicating Reasoning) roughly 25%, and combined Claims 2 and 4 (Problem Solving / Modeling and Data Analysis) about 25%. The summative blueprint (as of 2018-19) publishes item counts per test event rather than percentages: Claim 1 is 17-20 items in grades 3-5, 16-20 in grades 6-8, and 19-22 in grade 11; the Claim 2/4 and Claim 3 reporting categories are 8-10 items each, totaling 18-20 across the two.
