RIT 
Reference Chart for MPG Mathematics
MAP tests produce scores that make it possible to monitor student growth from year to year along 
developmental curriculum scales or continua. The chart inside shows examples of the kinds of work 
students can do at various points along the MAP RIT scale, assuming they have been exposed to content. 
This type of information is helpful in supporting appropriate instruction.
Please note that each subject area has a unique alignment to the RIT scale. As a result, scores between 
subjects are not equivalent.
How to use the charts:
1.	 Find the column containing the student’s score for a particular subject. For example, if the 
student’s score in “Geometry” is 188, refer to the column labeled 181-190.
2.	 Read the column(s) from left to right to locate a sample test question for a given reporting 
area, such as “Geometry.” A student’s score suggests that, currently, he or she is likely to get 
about half of the questions of this difficulty correct. 
3.	 Now look at the questions in the column(s) to the left, and higher on the page. The student 
is likely to get most of these correct, assuming he or she has been instructed in these skills 
and concepts.
4.	 The questions further down the page will probably require new learning on the student’s part. 
Please note: 
Test items in this booklet are sample items, and many are not calibrated or field-tested. For purposes of 
this document, RIT scale alignment is an approximation.

Operations and 
Algebraic Thinking
Students can represent and solve 
problems involving addition, subtraction, 
multiplication, and division. They 
understand and can apply properties 
of operations, and understand the 
relationship between operations.
You can use the buttons to help you find the answer 
to the problem.

Number and Operations
Students can understand place value, 
the counting sequence, and counting 
strategies. They can compose and 
decompose numbers into hundreds, 
tens, and ones. Students can use place 
value understanding to compare 
numbers, perform multi-digit 
arithmetic, and develop understanding 
of fractions.

Measurement and Data
Students can solve problems involving 
measurement and estimation of lengths, 
time, liquid volumes, and masses 
of objects. They can use geometric 
measurement to understand area 
and perimeter. Students can organize, 
represent, and interpret data in various 
graphical representations.
