WY-TOPP Math Practice
Wyoming Test of Proficiency and Progress. WY-TOPP is built on standards derived from Common Core. Briveli's CC-aligned curriculum covers the same skills.
Spring (early April through early May summative window)
Computer-based
No calculator in grades 3-5. Grades 6-8 have a calculator-allowed segment using the embedded online tool — four-function in grade 6, scientific in grades 7-8.
Four performance levels: Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, Advanced
About the WY-TOPP
WY-TOPP — the Wyoming Test of Proficiency and Progress — replaced PAWS in 2018 and is Wyoming's annual math test for grades 3 through 8 plus grade 10. The test is built on the 2018 Wyoming Mathematics Content and Performance Standards, the state's Common Core-derived framework, and is delivered online by Cambium through the same TIDE platform used by several SBAC states. Unlike a Smarter Balanced administration, WY-TOPP also bundles fall and winter interim assessments and a modular block-style design, so districts get growth data three times a year on the same blueprint.
WY-TOPP math reports four performance levels — Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced — and uses Proficient as the federal accountability bar in Wyoming Accountability in Education Act (WAEA) school ratings. Each summative math test runs about 90 minutes total, fixed-form (not adaptive), and is given in a four-week window from early April through early May. Aggregate results are published each fall on the WDE Fusion data dashboard, and family score reports are returned through the school district. Sub-score feedback follows the four Wyoming math content categories rather than the SBAC claims structure.

WY-TOPP FAQ
Did WY-TOPP replace PAWS?+
Yes. WY-TOPP replaced PAWS (Proficiency Assessments for Wyoming Students) in 2018-19 as the state's grades 3-8 and grade 10 summative for math, ELA, and writing, with science added a year later.
Is WY-TOPP computer-adaptive?+
No. The WY-TOPP summative is a fixed-form online test — every student in a grade sees the same items. Wyoming chose a fixed-form design so the same test could be re-used for the fall and winter interim administrations.
