Solve This!

FUEL

EmptyNo, well be ok. The tank holds about 15 gallons and I filled it up yesterday. We dont have time to stopOn the freeway, at this speed, about 35 miles per gallon.I think we need to stop for gas before we get to LAHow many miles does this car get to a gallon?Los Angeles270 Milesa. Do they need to stop for gas?b. Suppose they decide to stop for gas and the stop takes 30 minutes. If they continue their trip at the same speed, what time will they reach Los Angeles?Clock9:20Have folks solve2Solve This!

FUEL

EmptyLos Angeles270 MilesApproaches to determine if they have enough gas in the tank?Clock9:20Discussion should be around how they determined the amount of gas needed to get there vs. actual amount of gas- especially in regards to fractions.Also discuss all of the math concepts involved in this task. This is an example from PARCC. 3Quick WriteOn an index card, write down Everything you Know about EOGs

Now, Ball it up And THROW it OUT

Imagine the PossibilitiesWith NO CONSTRAINTS, how would YOU assess student understanding?Turn and talk with a partner. What would THE IDEAL assessments look like?

Next Generation AssessmentsWhat youre seeing across the education industry as a whole is broad recognition that there is so much more we can do for students to be successful, if only we better leverage the assessment system capabilities that technology presents us.

Jon Twing, Chief Measurement Officer for PearsonIf we always do what weve always done, then well always get what weve always gotten!

SSDDSeriously? Nothing is going to really change, SSDD baby!

Same STANDARDS, different day!

Common Core AssessmentsGet ready were about toBLOW

With a PartnerTaskSolution/NotesHow does this task require more depth in understanding than similar EOG questions?What Common Core Standards and Standards for Mathematical Practice might this address ?

How will instruction need to change in order form y students to be successful on this type of task?These are NOT sample assessment items! These are NOT sample assessment items!These are NOT sample assessment items!

Next Generation Assessments vs. EOGA teacher at your school says, The assessments wont really change anyway

With a partner, generate a list response for this teacher.Include 3 key points about the Next Generation Assessments

Transitioning to Next Generation Assessments: A Roadmap to 2014 Moving to online testingrequires an entirelydifferent way of thinkingabout things. Now thatweve completed thetransition, I feel that itsprobably the best thingVirginia ever did. Itsprovided so many benefitsfor us and were justbeginning to be able tocompletely utilize thepower of being online.
