  1. COMMON CORE ASSESSMENTS 2013/2014 GRADES 3-5

  2. Summative Tests • growth model assessment • three times per year • based solely on common core math standards • delivered to school sites approximately two weeks before the end of each trimester • also found in the Master Curriculum Folder

  3. Chapter Tests • Form 2C • Supplemental questions added for chapters with common core standards added to them. • Schools will automatically receive the first two chapter tests.

  4. Curriculum and Pacing Guides • New curriculum guides • User guide for curriculum guides on Master Curriculum Folder • Pacing guide (for planning purposes)

  5. Formative Assessment • What is formative assessment? • Why should we use formative assessment? • five strategies for effective formative assessment • five principles for effective questioning • Where do we find performance tasks to use for formative assessment?

  6. Math Tasks • Websites for performance tasks to use with formative assessment: http://www.noycefdn.org/resources.php and http://insidemathematics.org Go to Tools for Educators and then Problem of the Month

  7. Math Journals Math journals are one way of bringing formative assessment into our classrooms.

  8. Elements of an Effective Math Journal • rich math tasks • students use numbers, symbols, pictures, and words to explain their mathematical thinking • audience for their journal is their teacher, fellow students, and themselves • opportunity for students to read their journals to partners and whole class

  9. Teacher’s Role • Teacher will need to model the writing process and mathematical language. • Teacher will use open-ended questioning strategies to guide students in their writing. • Teacher will give students the opportunity to revisit similar tasks. • Teacher will focus on the different strategies used to solve the problem. Teachers will reinforce the emphasis on the problem solving process rather than the answer.
