Performance Task - ELA Explanatory
- Grade:
- 1
- Subject:
- English Language Arts, Other Resources
These guides help teachers understand how federal assessments have evolved by showing in-depth analysis of assessment questions in math. Teachers will understand the new types of questions presented to students and how classroom instruction should be modified to prepare students for these questions.
Solve Money Problems Involving Coins
- Grade:
- 2
- Subject:
- Math
This measurement and data lesson covers the solving of money problems involving coins. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will identify the number of coins both visually and in words, note their value, and then combine by counting coins to find the sum.
Express Whole Numbers as Fractions
- Grade:
- 3
- Subject:
- Math
This numbers and operations − fractions lesson covers how to express whole numbers as fractions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will count the whole items in a picture, write the whole number, and then express that whole number as a fraction.
Determine if a Number is Prime or Composite
- Grade:
- 4
- Subject:
- Math
This number sense lesson focuses on determining if a number is prime or composite. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the number. Then, they determine if it is composite or prime by trying to divide by either 2, 3, 5, or 7. Finally, students justify their answer. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Use Algebraic Terminology (Term, Variable, Coefficient, Constant, Degree)
- Grade:
- 6
- Subject:
- Math
This equations and expressions lesson covers the use of a variety of algebraic terminology. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students describe the various attributes of algebraic expressions.
Reduce Fractions (Using the Greatest Common Factor)
- Grade:
- 6
- Subject:
- Math
This number sense lesson focuses on reducing fractions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students find the factors of the numerator and denominator. Then, they identify the greatest common factor (GCF) and write it down. Finally, they reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the GCF and interpreting the reduced fraction. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items and 10 flashcards for reduced fractions.
Compute Unit Rates with Fractions
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This ratios and proportional relationships lesson covers how to compute unit rates (complex fraction ratios). The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students create an equivalent ratio table using given units and quantities. They identify the unit quantity, determine the multiplicative inverse which produces one, and then apply the multiplicative inverse to the other quantity. Finally, they interpret the unit rate.
Determine the Multiplicative Inverse of a Number
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This number system lesson covers how to determine the multiplicative inverse of a number. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the given number, then determine its multiplicative inverse by switching the numerator and denominator. Finally, they interpret what it means, showing that a given number times it’s multiplicative inverse equals one.
Factor Expressions
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This expressions and equations lesson covers how to factor expressions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will determine a factor the terms have in common, rewrite each term as a product using the common factor, and rewrite the expression as a product of expressions using the common factor. Finally, they will interpret the factored expression stating what it is equivalent to.
