NJ ASK: Mathematics Test Specifications
NOTE I: the specifications are similar to the new
standards (with the appropriate indexing
or structure) so that there are no gaps between the standards and
test specifications. This makes it very easy for teachers! Please use
the scoring rubric for open-ended questions.| 4.1 Number and numerical operations | 4.2 Geometry and Measurement | 4.3 Patterns and Algebra | 4.4 Data Analysis, Probability, and Discrete Mathematics | 4.5 Mathematical
Processes (similar for all grades; use content appropriate for that grade level) |
