South Dakota is a Smarter Balanced member state: the South Dakota Math Assessment IS the Smarter Balanced mathematics summative (computer-adaptive, administered every spring in grades 3-8 and 11), reported against South Dakota's math standards. Math is organized into the four Smarter Balanced 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.
SD SBAC High School math practice. Domain by domain.
SD SBAC High School math practice organized by the test's 1 official reporting domain. Together they connect 70 playable math skills to South Dakota Mathematics Standards (aligned to the Smarter Balanced/Common Core–style framework used in the SBAC mathematics blueprint).

How the SD SBAC structures High School math
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.

SD SBAC High School math FAQ
What math does the SD SBAC cover in High School?
High School math on the SD SBAC is reported across one official domain: Concepts and Procedures. Each domain page here maps that reporting category to playable practice skills.
What standards is the SD SBAC based on?
The South Dakota ELA and Math Assessments (Smarter Balanced) is built on South Dakota Mathematics Standards (aligned to the Smarter Balanced/Common Core–style framework used in the SBAC mathematics blueprint) (South Dakota). South Dakota is a Smarter Balanced member state: the South Dakota Math Assessment IS the Smarter Balanced mathematics summative (computer-adaptive, administered every spring in grades 3-8 and 11), reported against South Dakota's math standards.
How is High School math weighted on the SD SBAC?
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 A…
