Each percent is of the test's 58 points, rounded; a range such as 7–8 counts at its midpoint. ### Patterning & Algebraic Reasoning: 20 points, about 34% of the test Use part-whole strategies to represent and solve real-life problems involving addition and subtraction with whole numbers up to 10,000. (6 points) - **3.PAR.2**: Addition and Subtraction to 10,000. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.PAR.2.md Use part-whole strategies to solve real-life, mathematical problems involving multiplication and division with whole numbers within 100. (14 points) - **3.PAR.3**: Multiplication and Division Within 100. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.PAR.3.md ### Geometric & Spatial Reasoning: 14 points, about 24% of the test Identify the attributes of polygons, including parallel segments, perpendicular segments, right angles, and symmetry. (6 points) - **3.GSR.6**: Polygon Attributes & Symmetry. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.GSR.6.md Determine the perimeter of a polygon presented in real-life, mathematical problems. (8 points; one pool shared with the row for 3.GSR.7: count these points once, never once per row) - **3.GSR.8**: Perimeter of Polygons. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.GSR.8.md Identify area as a measurable attribute of rectangles and determine the area of a rectangle presented in real-life, mathematical problems. (8 points; one pool shared with the row for 3.GSR.8: count these points once, never once per row) - **3.GSR.7**: Rectangle Area Concepts. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.GSR.7.md ### Numerical Reasoning: 14 points, about 24% of the test Use place value reasoning to represent, read, write, and compare numerical values up to 10,000 and round whole numbers up to 1,000. (6 points) - **3.NR.1**: Place Value to 10,000. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.NR.1.md Represent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 in multiple ways within a framework using visual models. (8 points) - **3.NR.4**: Fraction Visual Models. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.NR.4.md ### Measurement & Data Reasoning: 10 points, about 17% of the test Solve real-life, mathematical problems involving length, liquid volume, mass, and time and analyze graphical displays of data to answer relevant questions. - **3.MDR.5**: Measurement and Data Problems. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.MDR.5.md ## Also part of the test, without points of their own ### Practices From the blueprint: "These practices are embedded within items aligned to the mathematics content standards but are not reported as a separate reporting category." - **3.MP.6**: Precision in Mathematics. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.MP.md - **3.MP.3**: Mathematical Arguments and Critique. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.MP.md - **3.MP.8**: Repeated Reasoning Regularity. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.MP.md - **3.MP.7**: Mathematical Structure Patterns. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.MP.md - **3.MP.1**: Problem-Solving Perseverance. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.MP.md - **3.MP.4**: Mathematical Modeling. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.MP.md - **3.MP.2**: Abstract and Quantitative Reasoning. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.MP.md - **3.MP.5**: Strategic Tool Use. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.MP.md ## Depth of Knowledge From the blueprint: "Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is measured on a scale of 1 to 4 and refers to the level of cognitive demand (different kinds of thinking) required to complete an assessment item." - Level 1: 23 to 29 points (40% to 50%) - Level 2: 23 to 29 points (40% to 50%) - Level 3: 3 to 9 points (5% to 15%) - Level 4: not on this test ## Kinds of questions - 1-point Selected-Response and Technology-Enhanced: 42 items, 42 points - 2-point Technology-Enhanced: 8 items, 16 points - Field Test Items: 5 items, 0 points (field test questions do not count toward the score) - **Total**: 55 items, 58 points ## Achievement levels For the subjects and grades Georgia tests, Georgia Homeroom shows what each Milestones achievement level means in practice, using the state's own descriptions. Georgia publishes these descriptions for tested content, so they are not available for every standard. On this test, 8 of the 8 standards have them; each standard's page shows them. ## Practice tests The Georgia Department of Education's Georgia Milestones page links the state's online practice tests, Experience Online Testing Georgia. - Experience Online Testing Georgia: https://www.gaexperienceonline.com/ - Georgia Milestones at the Georgia Department of Education: https://gadoe.org/assessment-accountability/georgia-milestones/ ## More - Every Georgia Milestones test: https://georgiahomeroom.org/milestones.md - Esta página en español: https://georgiahomeroom.org/es/milestones/grade-3-math.md - Every standards list, by subject and grade: https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/index.md Source: Georgia Milestones Assessment Blueprint, published by the Georgia Department of Education.
