- Abstract
T his mixed-methods study used released data from the 2005 to 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress to identify strengths in mathematics of American Indian and Alaska Native students in Grades 4 and 8. The conceptual framework of the study was rooted in an asset-based approach and principles of Indigenous research methodologies. Fourteen released questions were found for which American Indian and Alaska Native students had a higher percentage correct than their non-Native peers. Quantitative results yielded strengths in questions in the content areas of measurement, geometry, and number properties and operations. Qualitative item analysis uncovered specific themes present in these successful questions. The commentary-based discussion provided interpretation and implications on teaching, learning, and research.
