Level 3 – In-Depth Training for High School Mathematics Teachers

Information provided byOregon Department of Education2011-12

GoalsParticipants will

1. Understand current information about Common Core State Standards for Mathematics

2. Be able to apply the Official Mathematics Scoring Guide to Student Work accurately

3. Be able to use the Math Scoring Guide for Formative Assessment in their classrooms.

4. Know about resources & further professional development available

Common Core State StandardsHow do they fit in?

Mathematical PracticesThe CCSS identify 8 mathematical practices

that align with NCTM’s core practices.

Overview of CCSS High SchoolMath Standards

The high school mathematics standards can be viewed in strands and clusters

The Role of Math Work Samples

Essential Skill ProficiencyThree options for diploma requirement

1. OAKS Statewide Mathematics Assessment• Score of 236 or higher

2. Other approved standardized assessments

Test Score

ACT or PLAN 19/19

WorkKeys 5

Compass 66 (College Alg. test)

Asset 41 (Int. Alg. test)

SAT/PSAT 450/45

AP & IB various

Option 3 Math Work Samples

Mathematics Work Sample scored using Official State Scoring Guide

Two Mathematics Work SamplesRequired: algebra, geometry, statistics

Students must earn a score of 4 or higher in each dimension for each work sample

Level of Rigor Work samples must meet the level of

rigor required on the OAKS assessment. Work samples provide an optional

means to demonstrate proficiency not an easier means.

Mathematics Problem Solving Scoring Guide

Making sense of the problem

Interpret the concepts of the task and translate them into mathematics

Representing and solvingthe problem

Use models, pictures, diagrams, and/or symbols to represent the problem and select an effective strategy to solve the problem.

Communicating ReasoningCommunicate mathematical reasoning

coherently and clearly use the language of mathematics.

Accuracy

Clearly identify and supportthe solution.

Reflecting and Evaluating

State the solution in the context of the problem.

Defend the process.Evaluate and

interpret the reasonableness of the solution

Safe-keeping SecurityThe Safe-Keeping Security Company

has been hired to create a security system for the Hope Diamond. They

will be installing a laser beam-triggered security system. You will help them determine the distance

the beam will travel around the room to protect the diamond. If the beam

is broken, the alarm will be triggered.

Bamboo Plant Task

Julie helped her mother plant a garden in her back yard. Two

weeks later, she noticed that the bamboo shoot was growing very

fast, and she began to keep a chart of its height. Assuming the bamboo grew at a constant rate,

how tall was it when it was planted?

How do Work Samples Fit into the big picture?

Formative Assessment and Scoring Guide

“It is important to understand that the

gains in robust long-term learning

make formative assessment highly

time-effective.”

The Future of Math Work Samples

The design of the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium is intended to

strategically “balance” summative, interim, and formative assessment

“Research has clearly shown that good formative assessment practices lead to more effective

instruction and increased student achievement.”
