At each grade level within mathematics and ELA/literacy, there is one overall claim encompassing the entire content area and four specific content claims. Students will receive a score on each overall claim and scores for the specific content claims.

4. Claims for the Mathematics Summative Assessment

5. SBAC Assessment Targets Assessment Targets connect the CCSS to evidence that will be collected from the assessment. The targets map the standards in the CCSS onto assessment evidence that is required to support the content categories and claims. Assessment targets are used to guide the development of items and tasks that will measure the CCSS.
