1. Grade 5: Alignment to Mathematics Grade-Level Standards

2. PAGE 2 Session Objective The purpose of these materials is to help develop understanding of the expectations of high-quality summative assessment items. The concepts shown throughout these modules can be useful for classroom questioning and assessment, but the items themselves may need to be slightly modified.

5. PAGE 5 Ten Principles of CCSS-Aligned Items 1. Most items aligned to standards in supporting clusters connect to the major work of the grade. 2. Items are designed to address the aspect(s) of rigor (conceptual understanding, procedural skill, and application) evident in the language of the content standards. 3. Items are designed to attend to content limits articulated in the standards. 4. Most items aligned to a single content standard should assess the central concern of the standard. 5. Representations are well suited to the mathematics that students are learning and serve an important purpose within the item itself. 6. Items use mathematically precise language, are free from mathematical errors or ambiguities, and are aligned to the mathematically appropriate standard. 7. The demands of items measuring the Standards for Mathematical Practice are appropriate to the targeted grade level. 8. Item types are chosen to match the item’s purpose and as part of the evidence required by the standards. 9. Most items measuring the Standards for Mathematical Practice are also aligned to content standards representing the major work of the grade. 10. Items written at the cluster or domain level measure key integration points not necessarily articulated in individual standards but plausibly implied directly by what is written.
