Using the Mathematics Problem Solving Scoring Guide The Essential Skill of Mathematics An Overview 2012-13
Goals for this workshop Participants will know: • Requirements for demonstrating proficiency in the Essential Skill of Apply Mathematics • Updated Math Problem Solving Scoring Guide and Traits • Resources and professional development available
Apply Mathematics Requirements • OAR: 581-22-0615 Students who entered high school as 9th graders in 2010-11 will be required to demonstrate proficiency in three essential skills: • read & comprehend a variety of text • write clearly and accurately • apply mathematics
Apply mathematics in a variety of settings This Essential Skill includes all of the following: • Interpret a situation and apply workable mathematical concepts and strategies, using appropriate technologies where applicable. • Produce evidence, such as graphs, data, or mathematical models, to obtain and verify a solution. • Communicate and defend the verified process
3 Ways to DemonstrateProficiency in Mathematics 1. OAKS Mathematics Assessment Score of 236 2. Other Approved Test Options *Intermediate Algebra Test
3. Local Work Samples • Mathematics Work Sample scored using Official State Scoring Guide • Two Mathematics Work Samples Required one each for two of the following:geometry, algebra or statistics • Score: 4 or higher on each of the five traits
What is the status of the Mathematics Scoring Guide? • In use since 1988 (minor revisions in 2000) • 2009-2010 new version based on Oregon Mathematics Content Standards • 2010-11 aligned to the Common Core State Standards • Adopted by Oregon State Board of Education May 2011
What is the status of the Mathematics Scoring Guide? Districts should use the new scoring guide when training teachers for classroom activities and Essential Skills work samples.
Official Mathematics Scoring Guide Traits • Making sense of the task(MS) • Representing and solving the task(RS) • Communicating Reasoning (CR) • Accuracy (Acc) • Reflecting and evaluating (RE)
Level of Rigor • Work samples must meet the level of rigor required on the OAKS assessment. • Work samples provide an optional means to demonstrate proficiency notaneasier means.

Formative Assessment and the Scoring Guide • The Scoring Guide is intended to be more than a final assessment tool. • Both teachers and students can use the Scoring Guide to improve math skills.
Rumor versus Reality Rumor Reality • Only one rater is required • In the case of a borderline passing paper, districts may wish to have more than 1 rater. • Work Samples must be scored by 2 raters
Rumor versus Reality Reality Rumor • Students may not revise after a work sample has been scored • Students may revise and resubmit work samples to be rescored • Revisions must remain the product of the student’s independent efforts
Rumor versus Reality Reality Rumor • Teachers may not provide any feedback • Feedback is allowed using only the Scoring Guide and/or the Official Scoring Form
Rumor versus Reality Rumor Reality • A student must score a 4 in each required trait for each individual work sample. • A student may combine scores from multiple work samples to meet the achievement standard
Rumor versus Reality Reality Rumor • TRUE – raters must be trained to use the scoring guide accurately • Only trained raters can score work samples
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. “Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt.” Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
