Approximate Percentage of Questions Assessing Each Strand
The questions on the Grades 3–8 Mathematics Tests assess both the content and the process strands of New York State Mathematics Standard 3. Each question is aligned to one content performance indicator, for reporting purposes, but is also aligned to one or more process performance indicators, as appropriate for the concepts embodied in the task. As a result of the alignment to both process and content strands, the tests assess students’ conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem-solving abilities rather than assessing knowledge of isolated skills and facts.
