Each percent is of the test's 58 points, rounded; a range such as 7–8 counts at its midpoint. ### Numerical Reasoning: 29 points, about 50% of the test Solve relevant, mathematical problems involving operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimal numbers. (6 points) - **6.NR.1**: Whole Number & Fraction Operations. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.NR.1.md Apply operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals within relevant applications. (8 points) - **6.NR.2**: Operations in Applications. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.NR.2.md Solve a variety of problems involving whole numbers and their opposites; model rational numbers on a number line to describe problems presented in relevant, mathematical situations. (7 points) - **6.NR.3**: Rational Numbers on Number Line. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.NR.3.md Solve a variety of contextual problems involving ratios, unit rates, equivalent ratios, percentages, and conversions within measurement systems using proportional reasoning. (8 points) - **6.NR.4**: Ratios and Proportional Reasoning. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.NR.4.md ### Patterning & Algebraic Reasoning: 22 points, about 38% of the test Identify, write, evaluate, and interpret numerical and algebraic expressions as mathematical models to explain relevant situations. (8 points) - **6.PAR.6**: Numerical and Algebraic Expressions. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.PAR.6.md Write and solve one-step equations and inequalities as mathematical models to explain authentic, realistic situations. (7 points) - **6.PAR.7**: One-Step Equations and Inequalities. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.PAR.7.md Graph rational numbers as points on the coordinate plane to represent and solve contextual, mathematical problems; draw polygons using the coordinates for their vertices and find the length of a side of a polygon. (7 points) - **6.PAR.8**: Coordinate Plane Graphing. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.PAR.8.md ### Geometric & Spatial Reasoning: 7 points, about 12% of the test Solve relevant problems involving area, surface area, and volume. - **6.GSR.5**: Area, Surface Area & Volume. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.GSR.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." - **6.MP.6**: Precision in Mathematics. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.MP.md - **6.MP.3**: Mathematical Arguments & Critique. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.MP.md - **6.MP.8**: Repeated Reasoning Regularity. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.MP.md - **6.MP.7**: Mathematical Structure Patterns. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.MP.md - **6.MP.1**: Problem-Solving Perseverance. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.MP.md - **6.MP.4**: Mathematical Modeling. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.MP.md - **6.MP.2**: Abstract & Quantitative Reasoning. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.MP.md - **6.MP.5**: Strategic Tool Selection. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.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: 12 to 17 points (20% to 30%) - Level 2: 32 to 38 points (55% to 65%) - Level 3: 6 to 12 points (10% to 20%) - 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-6-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.
