Today’s Objectives: • To travel the treacherous testing waters in search of vital information! • To uncover hidden tips and facts about the test! • To attack the spooky annotation ghosts! • To discover the riches in Data Cove! • To explore the dark and mysterious caverns of activities and strategies
The Treacherous Waters of VITAL INFORMATION When? Why? What? Who?
The Treacherous Waters of VITAL INFORMATION Components of The ARMT Stanford 10 ARMT Part 2 FORMAT Reading Math Items in our COS not found on the Stanford 10 Multiple Choice Mathematics Procedures Word Study Skills Gridded Responses Mathematics Problem Solving Reading Vocabulary Open-Ended Questions Reading Comprehension
Vital Information Three types of Reading are assessed: Literary/recreational – stories, poetry Textual/informational – subject texts Functional – manuals, brochures, pamphlets, etc
Vital Information Types of Mathematics That Are Assessed: ARMT – Numbers and Operations Algebra Geometry Measurement Data Analysis and Probability Stanford 10 – Mathematical Procedures Mathematical Problem Solving
Vital Information • Types of Items: • Multiple choice (Reading and Mathematics): • Valued at one point each • Gridded responses: • Student writes the answer in the boxes at the • top of the answer grid and fills in the circle • under each box used • Valued at one point each • Open-ended (Reading and Mathematics): • Multiple parts or steps • Student shows all work • Valued at 3 points each
