About the Colorado Measures of Academic Success — High School Math (CMAS)

Each year, Colorado administers the Colorado Measures of Academic Success — High School Math (CMAS) to assess student achievement in Algebra 1. This assessment, given April, is aligned to the Colorado Academic Standards: Mathematics (CAS).

The Algebra 1 CMAS tests students on foundations of algebra, linear equations & inequalities, introduction to functions, linear functions & graphing, systems of equations & inequalities, and more. Questions include multiple-choice, short-answer, and sometimes performance-based items.

When your student takes our practice tests, they’ll experience the CMAS format firsthand — building familiarity and reducing test-day anxiety.
