2. Background Information  Designed for first graders  Assesses math skills in:  Sorting  Use of Venn diagrams  Methods of Assessment  Multiple Choice  Binary Items  Constructed Response (short answer)  Performance Assessment

3. Lower Level Thinking Learning Targets  Name ways to sort objects  Match items to their correct places within an already set Venn diagram

4. Intermediate Learning Targets  Explain ways in which objects have been sorted  Explain how to use a Venn diagram  Give examples of other objects that would or would not fit into already sorted groups  Use a Venn diagram to problem solve  Group items by one attribute and then ultimately two attributes

5. Higher Level Thinking Learning Targets  Create a Venn diagram with two given sets of objects  Compare sorting to using a Venn diagram  Determine the sorting rules of a given group

6. Sample Test Items Multiple Choice Examples Binary Test Items Constructed Response Items Scoring Rubric for Written Component

7. Performance Assessment  Students will sort a bag of assorted objects according to their own rules in a minimum of three different ways as well as defending the way in which they sorted those items to the teacher.  Scoring Rubric Scoring Rubric
