Treatment of Items in the Scaling of the 2000 National Mathematics Scales (Accommodations Permitted)

The following items are provided.

Items Deleted From the Final Scaling
Cluster Items Created for Final Scaling
Recoding of Polytomous Item Categories for Scaling
Items Scaled Separately by Assessment Years

Items deleted from the final scaling, by grade and scale, mathematics assessment (accommodations permitted [R3]): 2000
Grade Scale Block NAEP ID Reason for decision
8 Number sense, properties, and operations M14 M073401 To match 1996 scaling
12 Number sense, properties, and operations M14 M073402 To match 1996 scaling
NOTE: The same items were deleted in the state scaling as in the national scaling.

1 When an item was also administered at another grade, that grade is shown in parentheses.
2 When an item was used in scaling, but was not administered during the current assessment year, the year that it was administered appears instead of the block identification.
NOTE: For 2000 assessment items, the same cluster items were used in the state scaling as in the national scaling. Some of these, as in the national scaling, were formed prior to scaling based on previous decisions and some were formed during the 2000 scaling analyses.

2 When an item was used in scaling, but was not administered during the current assessment year, the year that it was administered appears instead of the block identification.
NOTE: The same (2000) items were recoded in the state assessment scaling as in the national assessment scaling.
