The 2013 NAEP mathematics assessment will be administered to students at grades 4, 8, and 12 in the winter of 2013. Results will be released in the fall of 2013.

The 2011 assessment was administered to a representative sample of 209,000 fourth-graders and 175,200 eighth-graders. At each grade, students responded to questions designed to measure what they know and can do across five mathematics content areas.
