Common Core Goal Structure Version 4 
Created by NWEA in 2013 Using CCSSO 2010 Common Core Standards for Mathematics K-12 
The NWEA Goal Structure is a document that represents the content and structure of a state’s standards documents. Goal structures 
are created through an alignment process that links state standards documents to the NWEA item bank. The MAP tests and 
associated reports for teachers and students are based upon this structure and alignment. 
The alignment process begins with a thorough review of a state’s standards documents by NWEA’s curriculum specialists. The 
general goal areas or strands within a state’s standards that appear across grade levels become the goals in the goal structure 
(indicated below as bold). Areas in a state’s standards documents that are determined to be sub-domains of the goals/strands 
become the sub-goals in the goal structure (indented under each goal below). 
Goal and sub-goal names from the Goal Structure are shortened for technical reasons to create the headings in DesCartes. Report 
Names are shortened further to accommodate report specifications.

Represent and solve problems involving the four operations: 
Understand and apply properties of operations and the 
relationship between addition and subtraction; add and subtract 
within 20; work with addition and subtraction equations; work 
with equal groups of objects to gain foundations for 
multiplication; understand properties of multiplication and the 
relationship between multiplication and division; multiply and 
divide within 100; write and interpret numerical expressions. 
Represent and Solve Problems 
 
Analyze patterns and relationships: Identify and explain 
patterns in arithmetic; gain familiarity with factors and multiples; 
identify arithmetic patterns and explain them using properties of 
operations; generate a number or shape pattern that follows a 
given rule; generate two numerical patterns using two given 
rules, form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms 
from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a 
coordinate plane.

Understand the place value system and counting and 
cardinality: Know number names and the count sequence; skip-
count by 5s, 10s, and 100s; generalize place value 
understanding for multi-digit whole numbers; read and write 
multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number 
names, and expanded form; compare two multi-digit numbers 
based on meanings of the digits in each place; read, write, and 
compare decimals to thousandths; use place value 
understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers and decimals 
to any place. 
Understand Place Value, Counting, and 
Cardinality 
 
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to 
perform multi-digit arithmetic: Perform operations with decimals 
to hundredths; fluently add, subtract, and multiply multi-digit 
whole numbers using the standard algorithm; use rounding with 
multi-digit arithmetic; find whole-number quotients of whole 
numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors; 
use strategies based on place value and the properties of 
operations for multi-digit operations. 
Number and Operations in Base Ten 
 
Number and operations-fractions: Develop understanding of 
fractions as numbers; understand fraction equivalence and 
ordering; build fractions from unit fractions by applying and 
extending previous understandings of operations on whole 
numbers; understand decimal notation for fractions, and 
compare decimal fractions; use equivalent fractions as a 
strategy to add and subtract fractions; apply and extend 
previous understandings of multiplication and division to 
multiply and divide fractions; solve word problems involving 
fractions.

Solve problems involving measurement and understand 
concepts of geometric measurement: Relate addition and 
subtraction to length by representing whole number sums and 
difference on a number line; tell and write time; use the four 
operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals 
of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money; convert 
like measurement units within a given measurement system; 
understand concepts of area and volume and relate area and 
volume to multiplication and addition; understand concepts of 
angle and measure angles; recognize perimeter as an attribute 
of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area 
measures; measure and estimate the length of an object. 
Geometric Measurement and Problem 
Solving 
 
Organize, represent, and interpret data: Generate 
measurement data by measuring lengths to the nearest whole 
unit, or by making repeated measurements of the same object; 
make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in 
fractions of a unit; use operations on fractions to solve 
problems involving information presented in line plots; draw a 
single-unit and scaled picture graph and a single-unit and 
scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several 
categories; solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how 
many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar 
graphs.

Reason with shapes and their attributes: Identify and describe 
shapes; analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes; draw 
points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and perpendicular 
and parallel lines and identify these in two-dimensional figures; 
classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles; graph 
points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and 
mathematical problems; classify two-dimensional figures into 
categories based on their properties;  partition shapes into parts
