Student Booklets for the Mathematics Assessment

The instruments used in the NAEP mathematics assessment are composed of blocks of cognitive items from the previous NAEP assessment, as well as blocks that are newly developed for the current assessment. Administering the same blocks of items across years allows for the reporting of trends in mathematics performance. At the same time, developing new sets of items makes it possible to release some items for public use. In some assessment years, one or more blocks at each grade are released to the public and can be accessed via the NAEP Questions Tool.

For the 2000 assessment, test developers chose thirty blocks from the 1996 assessment—ten blocks at each grade. In addition, they created three new blocks at each grade. No items from the NAEP 2000 mathematics assessment were released, so that they may be used again in a future assessment. However, sample questions from the 1996 assessment and earlier assessments are available to the public and can be accessed via the NAEP Questions Tool.

The tables below display the NAEP 2000 mathematics assessment student booklet configurations for grade 4, grade 8, and grade 12.
