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.

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.

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.

This number sense lesson focuses on ordering decimal numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem and line up the decimal numbers by place value. Then, they compare each digit (starting from the left) and if they have the same value, move to the place value to the right. If they have a different value, determine which digit has the least or greatest value. Finally, students order the decimal numbers. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

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.

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.

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.

This expressions and equations lesson teaches students how to solve equations with squared variables. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students find the values of squared variables in equations. Students will solve for a variety of equations, including several real-world word problems.
