Will they need to stop for gas? Explain your reasoning. Suppose they decide to stop for gas and the stop takes 30 minutes. If they continue their trip at the same speed, at what time will they reach LA? The figure below shows a conversation between two friends. Appendix F- ITN PARCC Item Development 270 LET’S LOOK AT A MATHEMATICS TASK OF THE FUTURE 9:20 AM

Will they need to stop for gas? Yes, they will need to stop for gas. They have enough gas to travel miles but according to the road sign, the distance to Los Angeles is 270 miles Solution

At what time will they arrive in Los Angeles? Driving 270 miles at 55 miles per hour will take 4 hours and 54 minutes. According to the clock the current time is 9:20 a.m.. This means that they will arrive in Los Angeles at 2:44 p.m. Solution 4 hours 54 minutes plus 30 minutes ≈ 5 hours 24 minutes

Expected Format Changes in Mathematics Tasks In addition to traditional tasks, students also will be asked to complete tasks that: assess more than one content standard. simultaneously assess content and practice standards. are not scaffolded. take an extended period of time to complete.

AWAY FROMTOWARD Solving equations mechanically Solving equations as a process of reasoning Limiting word problems that invite arithmetic skills Including word problems that invite algebraic approaches Limiting integer algebraIncluding rational number algebra Mechanically simplifying or expanding expressions Using properties of operations to rewrite expressions Appendix F- ITN PARCC Item Development

Will they need to stop for gas? Explain your reasoning. Suppose they decide to stop for gas and the stop lasts 30 minutes. If they continue their trip at the same speed, at what time will they reach LA? The figure below shows a conversation between two friends. Appendix F- ITN PARCC Item Development 270 9:20 AM Which “Shifts” and “Changes” are represented by this task? Why do you think so? LET’S LOOK AT A MATHEMATICS TASK OF THE FUTURE

Debriefing the Task This task draws on content from: Cluster 7.RP.1-3. Analyze Proportional relationships and use them to solve real world problems. The numbers in the task are not limited to integers. The task: is not scaffolded. takes an extended amount of time to solve. assesses both content and practice standards. assesses more than one content standard.

Mathematics Instruction of the Future To successfully implement the Common Core Mathematics Curriculum, what must mathematics teachers: KEEP DOING ??? STOP DOING ??? START DOING ???
