Reporting categories

Points are the blueprint's approximate figures. Each percent is of the test's 58 points, rounded; a range such as 7–8 counts at its midpoint.

Numerical Reasoning

38 points, about 66% of the test

Read, write, and compare decimal numbers to the thousandths place, and round and perform operations with decimal numbers to the hundredths place to solve relevant, mathematical problems.

14 points · One pool shared with the row for 5.NR.1: count these points once, never once per row.

5.NR.4Decimals to ThousandthsAchievement levels

Use place value understanding to solve real-life, mathematical problems.

14 points · One pool shared with the row for 5.NR.4: count these points once, never once per row.

5.NR.1Place Value Problem SolvingAchievement levels

Describe fractions and perform operations with fractions to solve relevant, mathematical problems using part-whole strategies and visual models.

14 points

5.NR.3Fraction Operations OverviewAchievement levels

Multiply and divide multi-digit whole numbers to solve relevant, mathematical problems.

10 points · One pool shared with the row for 5.NR.5: count these points once, never once per row.

5.NR.2Multi-Digit Multiplication and DivisionAchievement levels

Write, interpret, and evaluate numerical expressions within authentic problems.

10 points · One pool shared with the row for 5.NR.2: count these points once, never once per row.

5.NR.5Numerical ExpressionsAchievement levels

Geometric & Spatial Reasoning

7 points, about 12% of the test

Examine properties of polygons and rectangular prisms, classify polygons by their properties, and discover volume of right rectangular prisms.

5.GSR.8Polygons & Rectangular PrismsAchievement levels

Measurement & Data Reasoning

7 points, about 12% of the test

Solve problems involving customary measurements, metric measurements, and time and analyze graphical displays of data to answer relevant questions.

5.MDR.7Measurement & Data AnalysisAchievement levels

Patterning & Algebraic Reasoning

6 points, about 10% of the test

Solve relevant problems by creating and analyzing numerical patterns using the given rule(s).

5.PAR.6Numerical Pattern RulesAchievement levels

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.”

5.MP.6Precision in Communication
5.MP.3Mathematical Arguments & Critique
5.MP.8Repeated Reasoning Regularity
5.MP.7Mathematical Structure Patterns
5.MP.1Perseverance in Problem-Solving
5.MP.4Mathematical Modeling
5.MP.2Abstract & Quantitative Reasoning
5.MP.5Strategic Tool Selection

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.”

DOK	Points	Share of the test
Level 1	17 to 23	30% to 40%
Level 2	29 to 35	50% to 60%
Level 3	3 to 9	5% to 15%
Level 4	Not on this test

Kinds of questions

Question type	Questions	Points
1-point Selected-Response and Technology-Enhanced	42	42
2-point Technology-Enhanced	8	16
Field Test Items	5	0
Total	55	58

Field test questions do not count toward the score.

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, marked “Achievement levels” above; each standard's page shows them.
