Math Domain Scores Flashcards

A student scores in the 72nd percentile on the STAR Math Numbers and Operations domain. What does this mean?

Answer: The student scored higher than 72% of the norm group

A percentile rank of 72 means the student scored higher than 72% of students in the norm group.

On the STAR Assessment, which domain score specifically measures a student's ability to work with fractions, decimals, and integers?

Answer: Numbers and Operations

Numbers and Operations is the STAR domain that covers fractions, decimals, integers, and number sense.

A student's STAR Math Scaled Score increases from 625 to 698. What is the approximate growth in scaled score points?

Answer: 73

698 minus 625 equals 73 scaled score points of growth.

Which STAR Math domain score would reflect a student's ability to identify patterns, write equations, and use variables?

Answer: Algebra and Algebraic Thinking

Algebra and Algebraic Thinking covers variables, equations, expressions, and patterns.

A class average STAR Math Scaled Score is 750. The national norm average for the same grade is 720. What does this indicate?

Answer: The class is above national average

A class average of 750 versus a national norm of 720 means the class is performing above the national average.

In the STAR Assessment scoring system, what does a Grade Equivalent (GE) score of 5.3 indicate?

Answer: The student is performing at the level of a 5th grader in March

A GE of 5.3 means the student's performance is like that of an average student in the 3rd month of 5th grade.

A student's STAR Math report shows a low domain score specifically in Geometry and Measurement. Which skill gap does this most likely indicate?

Answer: Weakness in understanding area, perimeter, and spatial reasoning

A low Geometry and Measurement domain score points to gaps in spatial reasoning, area, perimeter, and measurement concepts.
