Current Standards
For the 2022-2023 school year the 2007 Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in Mathematics are in effect for K-12 mathematics students.
Mathematics Standards are Being Revised by Minnesotans from Varying Perspectives and Backgrounds
Mathematics Standards are Being Revised by Minnesotans from Varying Perspectives and Backgrounds
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Minnesota’s academic standards are reviewed and revised on a 10-year cycle. During 2021-22, the department facilitated a review of the Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in Mathematics.
On Tuesday, December 27, 2022, the third version of the mathematics standards was released and the statutory rulemaking process for the standards began.

Minnesota Questions Tool (MQT)
What is the Minnesota Questions Tool?
What is the Minnesota Questions Tool?
The Minnesota Questions Tool (MQT) provides access to the released questions from past MCAs (Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments) in math and reading across all grade levels. The MQT includes released items for Science MCA IV in grades 5, 8, and HS.
Users can search questions by standard, benchmark, and grade; read rationales for correct/incorrect answers; review student performance data; and download questions for use in planning classroom assessments and instruction.
The questions in the MQT are provided as
examples of questions that probe students’ knowledge and skills of a specific content area in different ways
a way to see how our students have performed on the question
These questions are not intended to be used as practice tests for future MCA assessments.
How are MQT Questions Used?
How are MQT Questions Used?
The MQT questions are intended to support educators:
in understanding how the academic standards are assessed on the MCA,
to help identify student misconceptions,
and to provide examples of questions that assess student understanding at different DOK (Depth of Knowledge) levels.
What does Percent Correct mean?
What does Percent Correct mean?
The data in the MQT shows the percentage of students who answered a particular question correctly and the percentage of students who selected each incorrect option.
What are the Question Rationales?
Each test question in the MQT includes a rationale, which provides justification for the correct answer and explains why all other options are incorrect. Additionally, the incorrect option rationales explain why the student may have decided to select the incorrect answer. This can be helpful for identifying student misconceptions. For example, if many students chose an incorrect option, it may be useful to closely review the incorrect options and their rationales to identify why students were led to the incorrect option. This information can be used to help teachers address the misconception when planning for classroom instruction, or the question can be shown as an example to students.
