GA Milestones Math Grade 8 case studies
GA Milestones Math Grade 8 · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Georgia Milestones Assessment System is Georgia's statewide testing program, described by the Georgia Department of Education as "a comprehensive assessment system spanning grades 3 through high school." It measures how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. For Grade 8 mathematics, the relevant test is the End-of-Grade (EOG) assessment: the source states that "Students in grades 3 through 8 take End-of-Grade (EOG) assessments in English language arts and mathematics." Grade 8 students therefore sit both the mathematics EOG and the English language arts EOG, and the source adds that grade 8 students also take the science and social studies EOG assessments. The GA Milestones Math Grade 8 case studies are 5 cases and about 3,153 words.
