Gannett has an in-depth piece today comparing each state’s scores on NAEP versus their own tests. They also let you try to solve some sample NAEP fourth and eighth grade math problems, separated by level. Problem is, they got one wrong. Go to the “proficient” question on 8th grade math. Gannett says the correct answer is D, but the actual answer is (-3, -2). Even ignoring the negative sign, the correct answer isn’t even offered. You’d think a story highlighting how horrible the nation’s students are performing on standardized tests would get their own sample right.
UPDATE, 6:30 PM: Gannett has fixed the error, the correct answer is now displayed.
