Performance Level Descriptors (PLD) 6

Document Reference Refer to document: PARCC Math PLDs Grade 3-8

Looking at the PLDs Gives the Conceptua l Concept the PLD is based on Gives the Sub-Claim that the PLD is written for (A-Major Content) Gives the PLD by performance level ranging from 2-5. Level 1 indicates a range from no work shown to Minimal command

Five Performance Levels Level 5: Students performing at this level demonstrate a distinguished command of the knowledge, skills, and practices embodied by the Common Core State Standards assessed at their grade level. Level 4: Strong command… Level 3: Moderate command… Level 2: Partial command… Level 1: Minimal command…
