Measures of Academic Progress (MAP ) for Primary Grades Crosswalk Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA )-Aligned MAP for Primary Grades (MPG) Version 9 to MPG Version 2 in Mathematics and Reading This document shows the relationship between the goals and subgoals in the version 9 Mathematics and Reading tests (columns on the left), and the MPG version 2 Mathematics and Reading tests (columns on the right). Due to the organization of the State Standards, the MPG Reading test has four goals instead of the six goals that are in the NWEA version of MPG Reading. The Math test has four goals, instead of the six goals in the NWEA version of MPG Mathematics. Therefore, it is not possible to create an exact match between goals and subgoals in the two tests. Some key differences: Mathematics The math standards do not have a problem-solving domain and do not address many of the concepts from that goal. Solving problems is primarily addressed in the Algebraic Thinking goal area. Although Counting and Cardinality is a separate domain in the math standards, this domain does not have its own goal in the math test and has instead been absorbed into the goal area. The math standards do not address patterns or probability. For this reason, there is no corresponding test goal area for these Mathematics test subgoals. Reading Concepts of Print are assessed in Skills in the Test rather than being its own separate goal area. Sight Words are assessed in in the Test rather than in Vocabulary. Spelling Patterns are assessed in Language and Writing in the test rather than in Phonics. 2013 Northwest Evaluation Association NWEA.org 1 of 6
