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. Report Names are shortened further to 
accommodate report specifications.

Represent and solve problems involving addition, subtraction, 
multiplication and division: Understand addition as putting 
together and adding to and understand subtraction as taking 
apart and taking from; solve problems involving the four 
operations; solve one- and two-step problems with unknowns in 
all positions; interpret products and whole number quotients; 
use multiplication and division to solve word problems in 
situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement 
quantities; identify and explain patterns of arithmetic.

Understand and apply properties of operations and the 
relationship between addition and subtraction and understand 
and apply properties of multiplication and the relationship 
between multiplication and division: Work with equal groups to 
gain foundations for multiplication; determine whether a group 
of objects has an odd or even number of members; understand 
subtraction as an unknown-addend problem; understand the 
meaning of the equal sign; understand division as an unknown-
factor problem.

Understand place value and count to tell the number of objects, 
know number names and the count sequence, and extend the 
counting sequence: Count within 1000 by 1s and 10s; skip-
count by 5s, 10s, and 100s;  read numerals and represent a 
number of objects with a numeral; count things arranged in a 
line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as a scattered 
configuration; compose and decompose numbers into tens and 
ones; understand that the three digits of a three-digit number 
represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; compare 
numbers based on meanings of digits. 
Understand Place Value, Counting, and 
Cardinality 
 
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to 
perform multi-digit arithmetic and develop understanding of 
fractions: Use concrete models, strategies, and algorithms 
based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the 
relationship between addition and subtraction; add and subtract 
multiples of 10; add and subtract within 1000; multiply one-digit 
whole numbers by multiples of 10; understand a fraction 1/b as 
the quantity formed by one part when the whole is partitioned

into b equal groups; understand and represent a fraction as a 
number on the number line; compare fractions and explain 
equivalence of fractions.

Measurement

Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of 
lengths in standard units, intervals of time, liquid volumes, and 
masses of objects: Describe, compare and order measurable 
attributes of objects; relate addition and subtraction to length on 
a number line diagram; work with time and money; use 
geometric measurement to understand concepts of area and 
relate area to multiplication and to addition and recognize 
perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish 
between linear and area measures. 
Solve Problems Involving Measurement 
 
Organize, represent, and interpret data: Ask and answer 
questions about the data points; use picture graphs and bar 
graphs to represent a data set with several categories; solve 
put-together, take-apart, and compare one- and two-step 
problems using information presented in a graph; classify 
objects and count the number of objects in each category; sort 
by category; generate measurement data in whole, half and 
quarter units and show the data by making a line plot.

Reason with shapes and their attributes: Identify and describe 
shapes having specified attributes; analyze, compare, create, 
and compose shapes; understand that shapes in different 
categories may share attributes and that the shared attributes 
can define a larger category; compose two-dimensional or 
three-dimensional shapes to create a composite shape; 
partition shapes into two, three, or four equal shares using the 
words halves, thirds, half of, a third; partition a rectangle into 
rows and columns of same-size squares.
