HES chosen for NAEP math test
Thirty fourth graders from
Heppner Elementary School
(HES) were to participate in the
National Assessment of Educa
tional Progress (NAEP) math
test Tuesday, Jan. 30. NAEP is
authorized by Congress to
assess and report on what
American students know and
can do in key academic sub
jects.
About 250 schools in Oregon
were chosen at random to par
ticipate. From a list of enrolled
students, thirty were selected
by state organizers. HES may
be randomly selected for
monitoring by an NAEP repre
sentative to check compliance
with test procedures. Linda
Shaw, reading specialist and
test coordinator, has been train
ed by the NAEP and adminis
tered the test.
A.C. Houghton Elementary
School's fourth grade (in
Boardman) was also selected
for participation in this study.

The assessment includes
both multiple-choice and open-
ended questions. Strands to be
assessed are number sense,
properties and operations;
measurement; geometry and
spatial sense; data analysis,
statistics and probability; and
algebra and functions.
The ultimate goal is to assess
the ability of American stu
dents to think about a math
problem, make connections to
their knowledge base and com
municate about the chosen
strategy, said Shaw.
