The New Jersey Student Learning Assessment for Mathematics (NJSLA-M) measures student proficiency with grade or course level skills, knowledge, practices, and concepts that are critical to college and career readiness. On each assessment, students will face a mixture of objective items assessing content and practice and constructed-response items requiring the application of grade or course appropriate reasoning and modeling. 

The assessment will support an overall scale score and four subclaim performance indicators consistent with the scale score and the four subclaim performance indicators as provided in past administrations. Test items on the NJSLA-M will be drawn from the same item bank as previous state assessments.

On the NJSLA-M, subclaim categories will remain Major Content, Additional and Supporting Content, Reasoning, and Modeling. All performance indicators will continue to accurately reflect student achievement of the corresponding evidence statements. Further, the overall scale score will continue to be categorized into one of the five existing performance levels:

• Did Not Yet Meet Expectations,

• Partially Met Expectations

• Approached Expectations

• Met Expectations,

• Exceeded Expectations

• NJSLA Practice Tests

• Released Items

• Test Timing

• Test Composition

• Math Reference Sheets Grades 5 - 8

• High School Assessment Math Reference Sheets 

• Student Test Materials

Grade 8 students who are enrolled in Geometry will take NJSLA-Geometry Unit 1 on Tuesday, May 7th and Unit 2 on Wednesday, May 8th. 

Each day until the NJSLA-Geometry, students will participate in a friendly competition. In lieu of the traditional Do Now/Warm Up at the beginning of each class, each student will respond to one question from our Geometry Jeopardy. The prize will be awared to a class with the most points.
