WELCOME TO EOG NIGHT September 15, 2011
When is the test? May 14 – 18, 2012 We will test on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. We will be tested in Math and Reading. Fifth grade will also be tested in Science.
Goal 1: Number and Operations(35-40%) • Place value to 9,999 • Subtraction • Addition • Estimating/Rounding • Multiplication and Division • Basic properties (identity, commutative, associative, order of operations) • Fractions • Comparing/ordering
Goal 1: Number and Operations Which place value is used to show that 5,487 is less than 5,874? • Ones place • Tens place • Hundreds place • Thousands place
Goal 2: Measurement (10-12%) • Time/Elapsed time • Capacity • Length • Mass • Temperature
Goal 2: Measurement • On Megan’s trip to her grandmother’s, she will spend 1 hour and 35 minutes on the airplane from Charlotte to Washington, D.C.; 1 hour and 15 minutes from Washington, D.C., to New York; and 45 minutes from New York to Boston. What is the total amount of time she will be on an airplane? A) 7 hr 10 min B) 5 hr 10 min C) 3 hr 35 min D) 1 hr 35 min
Goal 3: Geometry (12-15%) • 2 dimensional figures • 3 dimensional figures • Coordinate points (ordered pairs) Example:
Mrs. Ryan shows her class 2 groups of shapes. Then she asks, “ Which rule was used to sort these shapes into groups?” Large things and small things Triangles and squares Circles and figures with 4 sides Triangles and figures with 4 sides Goal 3: Geometry
Goal 4: Data Analysis and Probability (12-15%) • Circle graphs and tables • Permutations • Probability Example: Maria wants to take some of her toys to her grandmother’s house. Maria has a video game, a stuffed animal, and a doll. How many choices does she have if she can pick 2 different items to take to her grandmother’s house? A) 2 B) 3 C) 6 D) 9
What is the probability that the spinner will land on red? 2/6 2/8 3/5 3/8 Goal 4: Data Analysis and Probability
Goal 5: Algebra (20-25%) • Number patterns • Shape patterns • Skip counting to extend pattern • Value of an unknown Example: What is the value of the unknown in the number sentence ___ x 3 = 12?
Goal 5: Algebra What shape will be in the fifth space?
What can you do at home? • “Do math” with your child at home as problem –solving partners. Use word problems. • Newspapers – graphs and charts • Weather reports – charts, graphs, data, and statistics • Sporting events – data and statistics • Grocery store – measurement and estimation • Recipes – measurement • Road trips – distance, time, mileage problems • By “doing math” together, you will demonstrate that learning mathematics is fun.
Reading Selection Types • Literary Selections (fiction, non-fiction, and poetry) • Informational Selections (content, consumer) • A variety of selections allows for assessment of reading for various purposes: To experience literature To gain information To perform tasks To apply critical analysis and evaluation
What is on the Reading EOG’s? • 8 selections ( 58questions) • Four types of items • Cognition • Interpretation • Critical Stance • Connections
What is on the reading EOG’s? • Reading and knowledge of vocabulary • Literary and informational texts • Literary texts: fiction, poetry, and literary non-fiction such as biographies, letters, journals, and essays. • Informational texts: content areas (art, science, math, social studies, etc.) and consumer selections ( pamphlets, reviews, recipes, how – to, etc)
EOG Goals and Percentages for Reading • Cognition (initial understanding) 38% • Purpose • Main idea • Supporting details • Summarizing main points • Vocabulary in context (context clues) • Point of view
Cognition • What is the main idea of the selection? • Based on the context of paragraph 3, what does XXX mean? (vocabulary in context) • What is the purpose of the first subheading in the selection? • Which characteristic best describes Joe? (Answer is clearly stated in the selection)
EOG Goals and Percentages for Reading • Interpretation (digging deeper) 37% • Clarifying • Identifying the tone/mood • Making inferences • Drawing conclusions • Making generalizations
Interpretation • What is the significance of Joe’s decision to buy the bicycle? • What is the tone/mood of the selection? • Based on the selection, what will most likely happen next? • Which characteristic best describes Joe? (answer is not clearly stated in the selection)
EOG Goals and Percentages for Reading • Critical Stance 19% • Compare/contrast within text • Fact and opinion • Determining the impact of literary terms • Complete analogies in a text
Critical Stance • How is X different from Y? • How does Joe change from the beginning to the end of the selection? • What is the effect of beginning the selection with ____________? • What is ironic about X? • The author wrote XYZ in capital letters to emphasize which quality? • What effect is created by the author’s repetition of the words XYZ?
EOG Goals and Percentages for Reading • Connections (going beyond the text) 6% • Compare/contrast between selections and outside of the selection • Connecting elements in the text and information outside of the text
Connections (going beyond the text) • Which experience is most similar to Joe’s experience in the selection? • How would this experience help Joe the next time he buys a bicycle? • People who play this game are most likely to have which of the following characteristics?
How can I help at home? • Establish time for your child to read • Provide your child with a variety of suitable reading materials • Take time to discuss interesting books you and your child have read • Model reading by reading a variety of materials • Discuss the purpose of different text types such as fiction, letter, newspapers, etc • Ensure that your child reads independently each day at a comfortable reading level. ( Reading materials should not be too hard or too easy in terms of subject and content.)
