Name the four claims
Navigate to targets for each claim
Write sample test items that reflect task models
for specific claims and targets.
Let’s go a bit deeper
How is the sample 3rd grade test map connected to
the test blueprint?
What new information might you need?

Common Core Standard
Claim 1
Concepts and Procedures
3rd Grade Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Target A [m]: Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division.6 (DOK 1)
Items/tasks for this target require students to use multiplication and division within 100 to solve straightforward, one-step contextual word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities such as length, liquid volume, and masses/weights of objects. These problems should be of the equal-groups and arrays-situation types, but can include more difficult measurement quantity situations. All of these items/tasks will code straightforwardly to standard 3.OA.3. Few of these tasks coding to this standard will make the method of solution a separate target of assessment. Other tasks associated with this target will probe student understanding of the meanings of multiplication and division (3.OA.1,2).7
Claim 1
Concepts and Procedures
Grade 4
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Target A [m]: Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems. (DOK 1, 2)
Tasks for this target will require students to use the four operations to solve straightforward,
one-step contextual word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and finding an
unknown number, including problems where the remainder must be interpreted. Some of these
tasks will draw on contexts in 4.MD Target I using measurement quantities such as time, liquid
volume, and masses/weights of objects, and money (with decimal representations limited to
those described in standards 4.NF.6 and 4.NF.7).
