Overall Claims for Mathematics Summative Assessment “Students can demonstrate progress toward college and career readiness in mathematics.” Overall Claim for Grades 3-8 “Students can demonstrate college and career readiness in mathematics.” Overall Claim for Grade 11 “Each claim is a summary statement about the knowledge and skill students will be expected to demonstrate on the assessment related to a particular aspect of the CCSS for mathematics.” Student-level score with scaling properties that allow for the valid determination of student growth over time. It will be a weighted composite of the four claims.

Claims for Mathematics Summative Assessment “Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency.” Claim 1: Concepts and Procedures, ≈ 40% “Students can solve a range of complex well-posed problems in pure and applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies.” Claim 2: Problem Solving ≈ 20% “Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others.” Claim 3: Communicating Reasoning ≈ 20% “Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can construct and use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.” Claim 4: Data Analysis and Modeling ≈ 20%

Item Types I.Selected Response (SR): Used primarily for Claim 1 and administered via computer adaptive testing (CAT) Multiple Choice II.(a) Technology Enhanced Constructed Response Tasks (TE/CR): Used primarily for Claims 2-4 and administered via CAT Complex tasks that are structured as a sequence of short constructed response items Tasks require longer chains of reasoning II.(b) Extended Response Constructed Response Tasks (ER/CR): Used primarily for Claims 2-4 and administered in the classroom (not necessarily exclusive of all technology) Tasks require longer chains of reasoning and call for extended written answers Scoring rubric provided III. Performance Tasks (PT): Used primarily for Claim 4 and administered in the classroom (not necessarily exclusive of all technology) May require more than one instructional period May incorporate pre-work in small groups Scoring rubric provided

What we think we know… The SMARTER Balanced proposal suggests that there will be a constellation of assessments for grades 3-11 including: a)Adaptive comprehensive summative assessment that includes: 22% selected-response 41% technology-enhanced constructed-response 14% traditional constructed response 23% performance b)Adaptive interim/benchmarks based on learning progressions and or CCSS content clusters that calls for performance event bank and non-secure pool of items c)Formative assessment tools, processes and practices that call for a variety of lesson embedded tools for different purposes. This is a preliminary blueprint of the assessment. Will be informed and revised base on pilot testing. Assessing the Common Core Across States 12

Curriculum

Are you currently using an NSF (National Science Foundation) Textbook? Are you currently using a textbook? Is your textbook your curriculum? Have you aligned your textbook with the CCSS?

16 Mathematics Standards Standards for Content Standards for Practice Greater balance of concept and skill development Greater access for all students New focus on Mathematical Modeling Problem Solving Reasoning

Common Core State Standards MAISA Units The goal of the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is to provide support and direction for educators as they move toward full implementation: CCSS are organized into an aligned curriculum of coherent units of study. The resources are particularly designed to highlight needed shifts in content related and pedagogical practices. –Unit Template –Highlight Lesson –Formative Assessment –Resources (video, sample student work, rubrics, instructional websites, etc.)

Common Core State Mathematical Practice Standards 1.Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4.Model with mathematics. 5.Use appropriate tools strategically. 6.Attend to precision. 7.Look for and make use of structure. 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. 20
