1. M-Step Math Prep Grades 3-5 March 3, 2015 KRISTI HINEMAN, KHINEMAN@MISD.NETKHINEMAN@MISD.NET TRISH DUNN, TDUNN@MISD.NETTDUNN@MISD.NET MARIANNE SROCK, MSROCK@MISD.NETMSROCK@MISD.NET www.misdmath.weebly.com

2. AGENDA ❖ MDE latest and greatest ❖ Preview M-Step Questions ❖ Examine TRIG materials ❖ Interact with ALD document ❖ Discuss Critical Areas ❖ Collaborate with others

3. Objectives Participants will:  Interact with grade specific content regarding Spring M- Step  Engage with grade level technology M-Step items  Use achievement level descriptors (ALDs) to evalutate M-Step criteria and reflect on next steps for instruction

9. Content Specifications for the Summative assessment of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics http://www.smarterbalanced.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Math-Content-Specifications.pdf

11. Claim 1 Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency. Grade LevelNumber of *Assessment Targets 311 412 511 610 79 8 1116 *Cluster headings as assessment targets: In the CCSSM the cluster headings usually serve to communicate the larger intent of a group of standards.

12. What is a Target ? A “Target” is a cluster statement. As you look at the Michigan K-12 Standards for Mathematics for your grade level or subject, they are the bolded statements that appear as a heading Example - Grade 3 Operations and Algebraic Thinking Target A Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division. 3.OA.1, 3.OA.2 3.OA.3, 3.OA.4 Target B Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division 3.OA.5, 3.OA.6

13. What is an ALD ? ALDs – Achievement Level Descriptors Policy ALDs – are general descriptors that articulate the goals and rigor for the final performance standards supporting the overall claim. Content ALDs – in general, at what level (rigor) is the student understanding or interpreting the content based on the Claim.

14. What is an ALD ? ALDs – Achievement Level Descriptors Range ALDs – are grade-and-content specific ALDs that may be used by test developers to write items that align to the cognitive and content rigor that has been defined within a particular achievement level. Threshold ALDs – defines the minimum performance required for meeting a particular achievement level expectations.
