Relay 800-439-2370  \n[www.doe.mass.edu](www.doe.mass.edu)  \nOverview of Grade 8 Mathematics Test  \nThe spring 2023 grade 8 Mathematics test was a next-generation assessment that was administered in two formats: a computerbased version and a paper-based version. Most students took the computer-based test. The paper-based test was offered as an accommodation for eligible students who were unable to use a computer. More information can be found on the MCAS Test Administration Resources page [at](at www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/admin.html)[ ](at www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/admin.html)[www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/admin.html](at www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/admin.html).  \nMost of the operational items on the grade 8 Mathematics test were the same, regardless of whether a student took the computerbased version or the paper-based version. In places where a technology-enhanced item was used on the computer-based test, an adapted version of the item was created for use on the paper test. These adapted paper items were multiple-choice, multiple-select, or short-answer items that tested the same Mathematics content and assessed the same standard as the technology-enhanced item.  \nThis document displays released items from the paper-based test. Released items from the computer-based test are available on the MCAS Resource Center website [at](at mcas.pearsonsupport.com/released-items)[ ](at mcas.pearsonsupport.com/released-items)[mcas.pearsonsupport.com/released-items](at mcas.pearsonsupport.com/released-items).  \nTest Sessions and Content Overview  \nThe grade 8 Mathematics test was made up of two separate test sessions. Each session included selected-response, shortanswer, and constructed-response questions. On the paper-based test, the selected-response questions were multiple-choice items and multiple-select items, in which students select the correct answer(s) from among several answer options.  \nStandards and Reporting Categories  \nThe grade 8 Mathematics test was based on standards in the five domains for grade 8 in the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics (2017) . The five domains are listed below.  \n• The Number System  \n• Expressions and Equations  \n• Functions  \n• Geometry  \n• Statistics and Probability  \nThe Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics is available on the Department website at [www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html](www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html).  \nMathematics test results are reported under four MCAS reporting categories, which are based on the five framework domains listed above.  \nThe tables at th","cbCaiil2OGMNImob","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiil2OGMNImob","pdf",1588149,27,"English","# Overview of Grade 8 Mathematics Test\n## Test Sessions and Content Overview\n## Standards and Reporting Categories\n## Reference Materials and Tools\n# Grade 8 Mathematics Session 1\n## Directions\n## Directions for Completing Questions with Answer Grids","[{\"question\":\"What formats were used for the Spring 2023 Grade 8 Mathematics MCAS test?\",\"answer\":\"The test was administered in computer-based and paper-based formats.
