ABE (Adult Basic Education) NRS Levels

The NRS (National Reporting System) Levels provide a framework for classifying adult basic education students’ skills:

• Level 6: 255
• Level 5: 236
• Level 4: 225
• Level 3: 204, 205
• Level 2: 193
• Level 1: 169

ABE Level 3 Skills Requirements

Individuals at ABE Level 3 possess a specific set of mathematical skills that enable them to perform the following:

• Computational Skills:
    - Can compute with multi-digit whole numbers and decimals.
• Problem Solving Skills:
    - Can solve multistep problems that involve fractions and ratios.
• Algebraic Skills:
    - Can write and solve one-variable equations using the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
• Geometric Skills:
    - Can solve for the area, surface area, and volume of simple geometric shapes.
• Statistical Understanding:
    - Can understand basic statistical concepts such as mean, median, and mode.
    - Can interpret a wider range of graphs including histograms and box plots.

Visual Representations

• Recognizing and interpreting graphs like histograms and box plots is essential for understanding data distribution and comparisons, which are key in statistical analyses.
