Planning for This Year with the End in Mind
In the 2009 Mathematics Standards: new content has been added, rigor has been increased significantly, repetition has been decreased, retention and application of content from previous years is required, and vertical alignment has been improved.
Reporting CategoryGrade 3 (only) Grade 4Grade 5 Number and Number Sense Computation and Estimation 1013 Measurement and Geometry Probability and Statistics, Patterns, Functions, and Algebra Total Number of Questions 4050
Grade 5 Mathematics SOLs, Essential Knowledge and Skills, and Essential Understandings
“Students must learn mathematics with understanding, actively building new knowledge from experience and prior knowledge.” NCTM, 2000
Students will: ◦ become mathematical problem solvers who ◦ communicate mathematically; ◦ reason mathematically; ◦ make mathematical connections; and ◦ use mathematical representations to model and interpret practical situations. 6

Review the mini-packet you have received with the members of your group. Pay close attention to the language of the correlated 2009 Standard. Compare and contrast the newly released sample test items with the old released test items. Compare and contrast the development of the items vertically across grades 3, 4, and 5. Use the questions at your table to help guide your discussion. Be prepared to share something your group discussed with the whole group.
