The SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium has released its content specifications in math.

• #1: Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency. • #2: Students can frame and solve a range of complex problems in pure and applied mathematics. • #3: Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others. • #4: Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.

a new draft will be issued for comment on Sept. 19. That's the day that comment on the first-round math content specifications is due as well.
