1 When an item was also administered at another grade, that grade is shown in parentheses. 2 When an item was used in scaling, but was not administered during the current assessment year, the year that it was administered appears instead of the block identification. NOTE: For 2000 assessment items, the same cluster items were used in the state scaling as in the national scaling. Some of these, as in the national scaling, were formed prior to scaling based on previous decisions and some were formed during the 2000 scaling analyses.

Items scaled separately by assessment years, by grade and scale, mathematics national main assessment (accommodations permitted [R3]): 2000

Grade	Scale	Block	NAEP ID	Type
4	Geometry and spatial sense	M6	M019801	Short constructed-response
8	Data analysis, statistics, and probability	M5	M067501	Extended constructed-response
		M4	M018901	Multiple-choice
12	Geometry and spatial sense	M9	M053301	Short constructed-response
	Data analysis, statistics, and probability	M9	M053401	Extended constructed-response
		M6	M021101	Short constructed-response
NOTE: No items were scaled separately in the state assessment scaling since data from only one year (2000) was used.
