4. How Assessments are Changing • As part of implementing the Common Core State Standards, states have embarked on a comprehensive reform initiative to ensure that schools prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in college and in their careers. • To realize the goals of this agenda, changes are occurring in standards, curricula, and assessments. • These changes are affecting pedagogy and student learning. • As a result, all states have begun revisions of their current State assessment program.

6. What Are the Shifts in the Math Standards at the Heart of PARCC Design? • Focus: The PARCC Assessment will focus strongly where the Standards focus • Coherence: Think across grades and link to major topics within grades • Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application. Robin Hecht/John Marallo 2014

7. Advances in Assessment Specificadvances in the PARCC mathematics assessments demanded by the three shifts… Robin Hecht/John Marallo 2014

8. Advances in Assessment Demanded by the Shifts Shift #1 – Focus: The PARCC assessments will focus strongly where the Standards focus Advance: PARCC assessments will focus strongly where the Standards focus (70% or more on the major work in grades 3-8). • Focus allows for a variety of problem types to get at concept in multiple ways. • Students will have more time to master concepts at a deeper level. Robin Hecht/John Marallo 2014

9. Advances in Assessment Demanded by the Shifts Shift #2- Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades Advance: The assessment design is informed by multi-grade progressions in the Standards and the Model Content Frameworks. • Key beginnings are stressed (e.g., ratio concepts in grade 6), as are key endpoints and takeaway skills (e.g., fluency with the multiplication table in grade 3). Robin Hecht/John Marallo 2014

10. Advances in Assessment Demanded by the Shifts Shift #2 - Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades Advance: Integrative tasks draw on multiple standards to ensure students are making important connections. • The Standards are not treated as a checklist. Robin Hecht/John Marallo 2014

11. Advances in assessment demanded by the shifts Shift #3 - Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application Advance: PARCC assessments will reach the rigor in the Standards through innovations in technology and item design… Robin Hecht/John Marallo 2014

12. 3rd Grade Sample Question • Mariana is learning about fractions. • Show how she can divide this hexagon into 6 equal pieces. Write a fraction that shows how much of the hexagon each piece represents. Robin Hecht/John Marallo 2014

13. 4th Grade Sample Question Robin Hecht/John Marallo 2014

14. 6th Grade Sample Question • A car magazine is writing a story about four cars. For each car, they will report the number of miles driven for different amounts of gas. • This table shows the number of miles driven by Car A for different amounts of gas. If Car A uses gas at a constant rate, fill in the blanks to complete the table. Robin Hecht/John Marallo 2014

15. 7th Grade Sample Question • A store is advertising a sale with 10% off all items in the store. Sales tax is 5%. • A 32-inch television is regularly priced at $295.00. What is the total price of the television, including sales tax, if it was purchased on sale? Fill in the blank to complete the sentence. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
