Florida Standard Assessments All Florida schools will teach the Florida Standards, and the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) has contracted with the American Institutes for Research (AIR) to develop and administer new statewide assessments. FSA Portal: www.fassessments.org
Florida Standards Assessments Spring 2015 • Algebra 1 End-of Course Assessment : Students must pass exam with at least a Level 3 to graduate from high school. This exam counts 30% of final grade. • Geometry 1 End-of Course Assessment :This exam counts 30% of final grade. • Algebra 2 End-of Course Assessment : This is the first year for the Algebra 2 EOC; is not a requirement for graduation. This exam counts 30% of final grade. Students will take a Midterm Exam provided by the district and they will not have to take a Final Exam.
Test Design Summary and Blueprint: Mathematics Percentage of Points by Depth of Knowledge Level Test Length: 64 – 68 Items and approximately 6 – 10 items on all of the tests listed above are experimental (field test) and are included in the ranges above but are not included in student’s scores.
Florida Standards Assessment Item Types • Drag and drop response: May require rearranging equations. • Equation response: May require creating a value or an expression. • Graphic response: May require plotting points, key features, or an equation on a graph. • Hot spot response: May require selecting a key feature or region on a graph. • Hot text response: May require dragging text to complete justification. • Matching item response: May require the student to click on cells within a table to show whether a solution is real or complex. • Movable text response: May require ordering steps.
Florida Standards AssessmentItem Types (continued) • Multiple-choice response: May require selecting a value or an expression from a list. • Multi-step response: May require selecting multiple values. • Natural Language response: May require the student to write an explanation. • Selectable text response: May require the student to highlight steps in a derivation of the quadratic formula. • Simulation response: May require inputting values; generating tables and constructing transformations. • Table response: May require complete missing cells in a table.
What Are the Shifts in the Florida Math Standard (MAFS)? • Focus: The Florida Math 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.
Types of calculators • Scientific, Graphing Calculator, and Regression. • To find the calculators, go to : http://www.fsassessments.org/resources/ • Click on Students and Parents. • Then, click on Spring 2015 EOC assessments. • Finally you will see a link for FSA Graphing Calculator.
