19Grade 6 Mathematics Test
The spring 2012 grade 6 Mathematics test was based on learning standards in the five major content
strands in the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework (2000) listed below. Page numbers for
the grades 5– 6 Framework learning standards appear in parentheses.
■ Number Sense and Operations (Framework, pages 25–26)
■ Patterns, Relations, and Algebra (Framework, page 34)
■ Geometry (Framework, page 42)
■ Measurement (Framework, page 50)
■ Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability (Framework, page 58)
The Mathematics Curriculum Framework is available on the Department website at
Mathematics test results are reported under five MCAS reporting categories, which are identical to the
five framework content strands listed above.
Test Sessions
The grade 6 Mathematics test included two separate test sessions. Each session included
multiple-choice, short-answer, and open-response questions. Approximately half of the common
test items are shown on the following pages as they appeared in test booklets.
Reference Materials and Tools
Each student taking the grade 6 Mathematics test was provided with a plastic ruler and a grade 6
Mathematics Reference Sheet. A copy of the reference sheet follows the final question in this chapter.
An image of the ruler is not reproduced in this publication.
The use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries was allowed for current and former English language
learner students only, during both Mathematics test sessions. No calculators, other reference tools, or
materials were allowed.
Cross-Reference Information
The tables at the conclusion of this chapter indicate each released and unreleased common item’s
reporting category and the framework learning standard it assesses. The correct answers for released
multiple-choice and short-answer questions are also displayed in the released item table.
