Introduction

Purpose

The practice testlet is designed to provide students with an authentic opportunity to

practice items that are aligned to the Mississippi College-and Career-Readiness Standards and

that mirror those that will appear on the mathematics MAP assessment. The testlet is also

intended to provide teachers with data to drive classroom instruction and provide direct feedback

to students.

Structure

The mathematics testlet contains various item types that will be administered on the MAP

assessment, such as standard multiple choice, matching, multiple select, and fill in the blank. At

the end of the testlet are a series of performance task items, which will assess the performance

task standards found in the mathematics MAP blueprint.

Directions

1. Allow students to complete each item type and performance task in the testlet.

2. Teachers will review student responses to the items and score the items and the

performance task using the scoring key.

3. Teachers should review the results to determine the needed instructional approach.

4. Teachers can utilize the testlets as teaching tools to help students gain a deeper

understanding of the MS CCRS.

5. At the bottom left of each page is an item tag, which will contain the item number,

grade level, suggested DOK level, and the standard aligned to the item.
