Abstract	A study was undertaken to assess the relationship between the DMI Mathematics Systems Objective Inventory (DMIMS) and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) content by process matrix prepared for the Fourth Assessment of Mathematics. The DMIMS is a criterion-referenced standardized test comprised of seven levels, and it can be used to assess student performance from the middle of kindergarten to the end of ninth grade. Two mathematics educators participated in the study and completed the same task. Findings indicate that the DMIMS reached from 17% to 48% of the NAEP's matrix cells, figures that did not differ dramatically from earlier results on norm-referenced tests and an earlier NAEP system. The NAEP does not address each content-process combination at each level, and comparing these figures to a 100% base would not be appropriate. These findings show that individuals concerned with student assessment in mathematics along the NAEP system will find that the DMIMS attends to the same interests as do the norm-referenced standardized tests on mathematics. Findings also have implications for inclusion in tests of items other than those that deal with operations with numbers. Thirteen tables are included, and notes and references are appended. (TJH)
