The California Achievement Test, Version 5 (CAT/5) Mathematics tests include both computational skills and critical-thinking skills.
The Mathematics Computation section of the CAT/5 includes computation with whole numbers, decimals, fractions, integers, percents, order of operations, and algebraic expressions.
The Mathematics Concepts and Applications section of the CAT/5 emphasizes problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Objectives include estimation, pattern recognition, number sequences, functions, and shapes.
The HSEE field test in mathematics addresses the standards adopted by the California State Board of Education through Algebra I. The mathematics test will include statistics, data analysis and probability, number sense, measurement and geometry, mathematical reasoning, and algebra. Students also will be asked to demonstrate a strong foundation in arithmetic, including work with decimals, fractions, and percents. The math test will consist of all multiple-choice items.
The STAR blueprints provide standards for Mathematics assessment.
