                      Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, an affirmative action employer,
   is committed to ensuring that all of its programs and facilities are accessible to all members of the public.
We do not discriminate on the basis of age, color, disability, gender identity, national origin, race, religion, sex or
sexual orientation. Inquiries regarding the Department’s compliance with Title IX and other civil rights laws may
       be directed to the Human Resources Director, 75 Pleasant St., Malden, MA 02148 781-338-6105.
Most of the operational items on the grade 5 Mathematics test were the same, regardless of whether a student took the computer-
based version or the paper-based version. In places where a technology-enhanced item was used on the computer-based test, an
adapted version of the item was created for use on the paper test. These adapted paper items were multiple-choice, multiple-select,
or short-answer items that tested the same Mathematics content and assessed the same standard as the technology-enhanced item.
This document displays released items from the paper-based test. Released items from the computer-based test are
available on the MCAS Resource Center website at mcas.pearsonsupport.com/released-items.
In 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department reduced testing time for students in grades 3–8 through a session
sampling approach, in which each student took only a portion of each MCAS assessment. Instead of taking two sessions in
each subject, individual students took one session each.

The Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics is available on the Department website at
www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html.
Mathematics test results are reported under five MCAS reporting categories, which are identical to the five framework domains
listed above.
The tables at the conclusion of this document provide the following information about each released and unreleased
operational item: reporting category, standard(s) covered, item type, and item description. The correct answers for released
selected-response and short-answer questions are also displayed in the released item table.
During both Mathematics test sessions, the use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries was allowed for current and former
English learner students only. No calculators, other reference tools, or materials were allowed.
