2 The 2005 Grade 12 Mathematics Assessment was based on a new framework. The assessment includes more questions on algebra, data analysis, and probability to reflect changes in high school mathematics standards and coursework. Results could not be placed on the old National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scale and could not be directly compared with previous years; therefore, information on previous assessments are not shown. For more information on NAEP Grade 12 Mathematics Assessments, see http://www.nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/mathematics/.
|
NOTE: The NAEP mathematics scale ranges from 0 to 500 for grades 4 and 8 and ranges from 0 to 300 for grade 12. Beginning in 2003, the NAEP national sample for grades 4 and 8 was obtained by aggregating the samples from each state and the District of Columbia, rather than by obtaining an independently selected national sample. As a consequence, the size of the national samples for grades 4 and 8 increased, and smaller differences between years or between types of students were found to be statistically significant than would have been detected in previous assessments. The 2007 NAEP Mathematics Assessment was not administered to 12th-grade students. See supplemental note 4 for more information on NAEP.
