More time on computation but not the same old way • Engaging & Active • Arcademicskillbuilders.com • Less passive worksheets • Are you ready for the challenge?
PARCC in 2014 - 2015 • Online assessments for Grades 3-8 and high school • Use of a mix of item types, including selected response, constructed response, technology enhanced and complex performance tasks. • Two components, both given during final weeks of the school year. • Use of both electronic and human scoring, with results expected within two weeks.
PARCC mathematics assessments will include three types of tasks. Overview of Mathematics Task Types
PARCC & SBAC • P ARCC Sample Items at: • http://www.parcconline.org/samples/item-task-prototypes • SBAC interactive items at: • http://sampleitems.smarterbalanced.org/itempreview/sbac/index.htm
Big Ideas • Elementary K-2: Place Value & 10 • Grades 3-5+: Fractions! • Grades 6-8: Algebra • High School: Modeling • Modeling links classroom mathematics and statistics to everyday life, work, and decision-making.
Number Line Task a-b b-a a+b 0 a b Where is a+b on the number line? Where is b-a? Where is a-b? What about (a/b)? • (Need to know where 1 is.)
How Much Space? • Janie’s Ipod holds 10 Mb of music. Janie downloaded songs that were 2 Mbs. How many songs can she fit on her Ipod? • Richard also has an Ipod that holds 10 Mb of music. He downloaded shorter songs that were only ½ Mb. How many songs can he fit on his Ipod?

Mathematics Assessment Project (MAP) • a Task Collection with each task cross-referenced to the CCSS • a set of Prototype Test Forms showing how the tasks might be assembled into balanced assessments
Things to Consider in Summary • Is modeling and contexts a part of daily instruction? • Depth of content especially fractions in grades 3-6. • Be wary of extraneous context. • Embed Mathematical Practices including discourse, scaffolding, and reasoning. (Not word problems at the end of the lessons.) • Revising assessments to include authentic performance tasks.
Today’s Goals • Pacing calendar for 2012-2013 • Identify supplemental resources on UbD curriculum • Include supplements on pacing calendar and in binder • Identify follow up needed: • 2013-2014 CCSSM Implementation • Revised District curriculum by June 2013
