Balance Assessments, Reports, and Data 3 Instructional Tools that
Support 4 Supporting Classroom Instruction
Slide 3
Opening Activity What Math Practices are you seeing in math
classrooms? HANDOUT # 1 Using the Looks-Fors document read the
phrases for MP 1, 3, 4 and 6. Place a check in the box for any of
the behaviors you commonly see in the math classrooms.
Slide 4
Why are Math Practice Standards Important?
Slide 5
WHAT ARE CLAIMS? Understanding the Smarter Balance Math
Summative Assessment
Slide 6
OVERALL CLAIM for SBAC Students can demonstrate college and
career readiness in mathematics. Concepts & Procedures Claim 1
Problem Solving Claim 2 Communicating Reasoning Claim 3 Modeling
& Data Analysis Claim 4 Using your look for document, is there
a connection to the Math Practices?
Slide 7
SBAC Claims for the Summative Assessment Claim 1 - Concepts
& Procedures Students can explain and apply mathematical
concepts and interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with
precision and fluency. (Targets broken down by grade level content
clusters) Claim 2 Problem Solving Students can solve a range of
well posed problems in pure and applied mathematics, making
productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies.
(Targets aligned with practice standards MP1, MP5, MP7, and MP8)
Claim 3 Communicating Reasoning Students can clearly and precisely
construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and
critique the reasoning of others. (Targets aligned to practice
standards MP3 & MP6) Claim 4 Modeling and Data Analysis
Students can analyze complex, real world scenarios and can
construct and use mathematical models to interpret and solve
problems. (Targets aligned to practice standards MP2, MP4 &
MP5)

Purpose of Claim Score Levels Claim score levels indicate
student behaviors (a.k.a. Math Practices) Claim score levels allows
measuring growth of the overarching standards K-12 (comparing Math
Practices year to year)
Slide 17
Summary of SBAC True or False SBAC assessment tests skill level
not ability. Teachers should not focus on using Math Practices and
they can just teach Content Standards. Scores will not be provided
by Target or Content Standards.
