State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR™) Performance Level Descriptors
Grade 6 Mathematics
Performance Level Descriptors
Mathematical process skills are not assessed in isolation but are incorporated into questions that assess grade 6 content. These process skills focus on applying mathematics to solve problems, communicating about mathematics, and using logical reasoning.
Students achieving Level III: Advanced Academic Performance can

Adult Actions: to address student achievement
Action to Address
Prior to Instruction Evidence Reflective Question(s)
Plan Instruction (Tier 1/2)
Team meets to plan instruction Similar strategies/ resources used within instruction
When does the team meet to plan instruction? Who contributes to planning and creating resources? How can we make planning time more productive?
Summative assessment is developed prior to instruction on the unit
Copy of assessment provided to all team members prior to unit
How does the team develop summative assessments? What process is in place to provide all team members input into creating assessments? What structure is needed to complete this task prior to the unit?
Identify & Support Needs
Identify individual student gaps in pre-requisite knowledge (pre-assessment)
Plan is created to fill gaps prior to instruction
Pre-Assessment Data for Power Standards Noted on Calendar/Lesson Plans (warm-up, small group, etc.)
What skills do students need to master prior to this unit? What strategy will you/did you use to pre-teach these concepts?
Formative Assessment
Team discusses/creates (Know/Do) formative assessments
Observe formative assessment in CWT’s , team meeting notes
What formative assessment will you use to measure student understanding of the Know? Of the Do? Who develops the formative assessments that your team uses? What support do you need to implement formative assessment into your daily instruction?
Research (rigor)
Identify best practices/lessons Discussion of lessons What have you used in the past to teach ____ that has worked? What does research say about students learning ____topic? What resources are available to support instruction on _____topic? Who or where could you go for a suggestion?
Review assessment items for TEKS Assessment items pulled up in meetings How has this TEKS been tested in the past? What samples do we have that represent the rigor of STAAR/EOC?
Topic to Address
During Instruction Evidence Reflective Question(s)
Pre-Teach Teacher uses a pre-teach to fill gaps in instruction for identified students Supporting STAAR Lessons have examples
Observe pre-teach in CWT’s Lesson Plans
How can you provide opportunities for students to review pre-requisite skills within your instruction? What skills have you identified that need to be re-taught?
Provide Support in the
Lesson
Vocabulary Aides are provided to struggling students Supporting STAAR Lessons have examples
Observe vocabulary aides in CWT’s Lesson Plans
Could understanding of vocabulary play a part in student misunderstanding(s)? How could a vocabulary aide assist students in achieving success?
Provide Support
in the Lesson (Tier 2
Instruction)
Scaffolding Cards are provided to struggling students
Observe scaffolding cards in CWT’s Lesson Plans
Do students struggle with all the steps in this sequence? What type of scaffolding card (graphic organizer, etc) could assist students in achieving success?
Teacher uses think alouds to share thinking behind the process with students Supporting STAAR lessons have examples in teacher notes
Observe think alouds in CWT’s Lesson Plans
What advantage would there be for struggling and high achieving students if you used a think aloud to model this process?
Teacher uses small group instruction to coach/improve skills of struggling students
Observe small group instruction in CWT’s Lesson Plans
What skills are specific students in need of mastering? When could you incorporate small group instruction to meet this need?
Teachers provides opportunities for students to discuss mathematics Kagan Strategies provide structures to use
Observe math discussions in CWT’s Lesson Plans
What concepts do students really need to understand in this unit? What discussion strategy could you use to improve understanding?
Teacher provides scaffolded opportunities to practice math: Guided/Partnered/ Individual model
Observe guided-partnered-individual practice opportunities in CWT’s Lesson Plans
How can you re-structure practice opportunities so that more students are ready to work independently?
Teacher targets questions to(or listens to discussion of) low performing students to assure understanding
Observe targeted questions in CWT’s Lesson Plans
What is the advantage to targeting questions vs. choral or voluntary response? What data do you have to share concerning the questions that struggling students are answering?
Formative Assessment
Teacher embeds formative assessment into daily instruction Uses the student feedback(answers) to alter instruction Math FACT Book examples uploaded on At a Glance Page
Observe formative assessment in CWT’s Lesson Plans & Alterations of lesson plans
How could using a formative assessment within daily instruction help you to identify student misconceptions prior to the summative assessment? What supports do you need to implement more formative assessment?
