8. Guidelines for Finding or Writing Assessment Items and Commentaries The assessment tasks that we find or write and elaborate should include the following components: A prompt consisting of information given to students and instructions for what they are expected to do.

9. Accompanying commentary that describes: The hard-to-assess aspect of proficiency that the item is designed to assess, including reference to important core content and practices specified in the Common Core Standards. The purpose of and the context in which the item is meant to be used. In this case, the purpose should be more specific than “formative” or “summative”; for example, if summative, specify end-of-unit, national assessment, etc. What the likely (correct or incorrect) student responses are and how they should be interpreted. Address likely student errors/misconceptions and how they would manifest and responses that indicated a partial but no completely mature level of proficiency in addition to an “ideal” student response. How student responses should be evaluated. This should include clear, defensible, correct answers and/or rubrics. Any additional information needed to properly situate or interpret the item statement and intended or probable student responses.

10. Standards for Mathematical Practices 1 - Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2- Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3 - Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4 - Model with mathematics. 5 - Use appropriate tools strategically. 6 - Attend to precision. 7 - Look for and make use of structure. 8 - Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
