Mathematics Assessment

Overview

Student assessment is a vital component of high-quality education as it surfaces student thinking and helps educators respond in ways that support deeper learning. The Oregon Statewide Assessment System (OSAS) includes several resources that align with the Oregon K-12 Math Standards and support mathematics teaching and learning throughout the year. OSAS provides access to statewide summative tests, periodic interim tests, performance assessments, and formative assessment practices that Oregon districts can use as part of a balanced assessment system. 

OSAS Mathematics Summative Test Student, Family, and Educator Infographic - English / Spanish: This document provides information on what Math Standards and Skills are assessed and an overview of the OSAS Mathematics Summative Test including a helpful FAQ.

Note: The Assessment of Essential Skills policy remains suspended through 2027–28. For more information visit the Assessment of Essential Skills webpage

OSAS Statewide Summative Assessment

Statewide summative tests in mathematics are designed to provide key information that helps schools and districts evaluate how well they are meeting the needs of students across various focal groups. These tests are federally required by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).  

OSAS Interim Assessments

OSAS Interim Assessments are available statewide at no cost and designed to be embedded within curricula to support teaching and learning throughout the school year.  

Performance Assessment

Oregon public school districts and public charter schools are required to locally administer Performance Assessments in math problem solving to students annually in grades 3 – 8 and at least once in high school.

Additional Resources

These resources for educators, districts, families, and community members further explore math standards, instructional supports, and assessment. Deepen your understanding of Oregon’s K-12 Math Standards, which drive our statewide assessment, and stay connected to OSAS and math education updates, as well as professional learning opportunities designed to enrich your instruction and assessment practices in math education.
