Contain a series of options from which to choose correct responses. Multiple choice True/False Matching

For multiple choice, there will be one correct choice and three distractors.

CC assessments Math: 80% of the

test was multiple choice.

ELA: 100% of the test was multiple choice.

SB assessments: Can a student receive partial credit? It depends… If fluency is being

assessed, a student must get all questions right to receive credit.

Ms. McCrary wants to make a rabbit pen in a section of her lawn. Her plan for the rabbit pen includes the following:•It will be in the shape of a rectangle.•It will take 24 feet of fence material to make.•Each side will be longer than 1 foot.•The length and width will measure whole feet.

Part ADraw 3 different rectangles that can each represent Ms. McCrary’s rabbit pen. Be sure to use all 24 feet of fence material for each pen.

Use the grid below. Click the places where you want the corners of your rectangle to be. Draw one rectangle at a time. If you make a mistake, click on your rectangle to delete it. Continue as many times as necessary.

Use your keyboard to type the length and width of each rabbit pen you draw. Then type the area of each rabbit pen. Be sure to select the correct unit for each answer.

[Students will input length, width, and area for each rabbit pen. Students will choose unit from drop down menu.]

Use your keyboard to type the length and width of each rabbit pen you draw. Then type the area of each rabbit pen. Be sure to select the correct unit for each answer.

Length: (feet, square feet) Width: (feet, square feet) Area: (feet, square feet)

Part BMs. McCrary wants her rabbit to have more than 60 square feet of ground area inside the pen. She finds that if she uses the side of her house as one of the sides of the rabbit pen, she can make the rabbit pen larger.•Draw another rectangular rabbit pen. •Use all 24 feet of fencing for 3 sides of the pen.•Use one side of the house for the other side of the pen. •Make sure the ground area inside the pen is greater than 60 square feet.Use the grid below. Click the places where you want the corners of your rectangle to be. If you make a mistake, click on your rectangle to delete it.

Pen 3: Length: (feet, square feet) Width: (feet, square feet) Area: (feet, square feet)

Performance Task

Used to measure depth of understanding, research skills and complex analysis Allow for multiple

approaches Require student-initiated

planning, management of information and ideas, and/or interaction with other materials Allow teacher-student

interactions Call for multi-part, multi-

session activities where students produce scorable responses, products or presentations

Good to Know… They have a series of

stimuli that will be given: readings, video clips, audio clips, equation editor, graphing tools, spreadsheet, graphs, charts and other visuals, research topic/issue, problem, etc…

For grades 3-8 it will be about 125 minutes for the performance task. (Classroom activity 20 minutes, Part I: 35 minutes and Part II: 70 minutes)

All grade levels in both Math and ELA will have Performance Tasks

Performance Task ELA



Technology Enhanced

Require a response from the student Math: Selecting one

or more points on a graphic, dragging and dropping a graphic from one location to another, manipulating a graph

ELA: Select a piece of text, type in a replacement for that text or select options from a drop-down menu

Good to Know… The ultimate goal of

technology-enhanced items is to provide a better measurement of student knowledge and skills through technology. could not be

assessed through selected response and constructed response items.

Technology Enhanced



Technology Enabled

Nontraditional layout of items

Audio, computer read aloud, video, etc… are used to present a question.
