Smarter Balanced summative assessments in mathematics Grades 3 through 8.  \nAt Grade 11, the assessment is used for private accredited schools only.  \nTest Publisher. Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium  \nTest Information. Beginning 2014-15, the Montana Comprehensive Assessment System includes the Smarter Balanced summative assessments for mathematics, which are designed to measure the extent to which students have learned and are able to apply the state-mandated curriculum standards known as the Montana Common Core Standards. These standards were adopted by the Montana Board of Public Education on November 4, 2011 (Montana Office of Public Instruction, 2014) . The Smarter Balanced summative assessments provide information related to college and career readiness (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, 2016) .  \nThe mathematics summative assessments are administered at the end of the year in Grades 3 through 8 and in Grade 11 for private, accredited schools only. Results are used to describe student achievement and student growth to inform Montana’s accountability system. Score reporting for the mathematics summative assessments provide scale scores along a continuous vertical scale (approximately 2000 to 3000) . The scale scores increase across grade levels and are used to describe a student’s current level of achievement.  \nThe mathematics summative assessment is a computer adaptive test. A range of item types are used including multiple-choice, drag-and-drop, hot spot, table fill in, and graphing. Performance tasks are administered online via computer, but not adaptively. An overall Mathematics claim and four major claims (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, 2016, p. 5-9; p. 7-4) guide the interpretive definitions for the summative assessments’ learning outcomes:  \nOverall Claim (Grades 3–8): Students can demonstrate progress toward college and career readiness in mathematics.  \nOverall Claim (High School): Students can demonstrate college and career  \nreadiness in mathematics.  \n􀁸 Claim 1-Concepts and Procedures: Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency.  \n􀁸 Claim 2-Problem Solving: Students can solve a range of well‐posed problems in pure and applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem‐ solving strategies.  \n􀁸 Claim 3-Communicating Reasoning: Students clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others.  \n􀁸 Claim 4-Modeling and Data Analysis: Students can analyze complex, real‐world scenarios and can construct and use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.  \nMetaMetrics ~ v 1.0 ©2017 Imagine Learning, Inc.

A Quantile Linking Study was conducted in the 2015-16 school year in conjunction with American Institutes for Research and the Multi-Agency Assessment Cooperative (MAAC) states. The sample for the study included all students participating in the Smarter Balanced summative assessment administration in the participating states of South Dakota, Washington and West Virginia and the U.S. territory of the Virgin Islands. As part of the Smarter Balanced Mathematics summative assessment administration, students were administered a selection of Quantile linking items. The total overall score for mathematics Grades 3 through 8 and 11 was linked with The Quantile Framework for Mathematics. A linear link was established for each individual grade. The link resulted in student results on the Smarter Balanced Mathematics summative assessments being expressed in the Quantile metric.  \nPerformance Standards.
