Updates ….. As of October 2014 Iris Harrell GOALS FOR TODAY… Discuss the most current information about the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) for Mathematics. Show examples and expectations of the item types that will be on the CBT for FSA. Share teacher online resources to assist with student instruction and teacher implementation of the MAFS. www.flstandards.org Teacher Resources Where is the state of Florida in the FSA Process? • …is currently in the process of creating Florida specific FSA/EOC questions. • …is in the middle of the content review phase where educators are reviewing test items for content. • …is scheduled to include field test items on the FSAs in Spring 2015. Once that is complete, those items that are NOT multiple choice or multi-select will go through a rubric validation process. • State Florida educators will review student responses and adjust the scoring criteria, if necessary, to make sure all acceptable variations of an answer receive the appropriate credit. Only valid items will move forward to be considered for use on a future test and count toward a student’s score. • FSA Fact Sheet ELA and Mathematics and EOCs • http://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/5423/urlt/FSAELAMathFS2014-15.pdf • http://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/5423/urlt/FSAEOCFS2014-15.pdf Grades 6-8 FSA Mathematics Each session 60 min. NOTE: All sessions administered over two days. For grades 6-8, Session 1 is on Day 1 and Sessions 2 & 3 will be given on Day 2. End-of-Course FSA Assessments 90 min. each Session NOTE: For EOCs, Session 1 is on Day 1 and Session 2 is on Day 2. The FSA Test Item Specifications help to guide the development of scenarios and items BUT DO NOT tell what to teach. Item Specifications ARE NOT course descriptions. Draft specifications for grades 3-8, Alg. 1 and 2, and Geometry are all posted on the FSA portal at http://fsassessments.org. • • • • • • Grade 6 Grades 7 Grade 8 Algebra 1 EOC Geometry EOC Algebra 2 EOC • Also assesses refers to standard(s) closely related to the primary standard statement. • Clarification statements explain what students are expected to do when responding to the question. • Assessment limits define the range of content knowledge and degree of difficulty that should be assessed in the assessment items for the standard. • Acceptable response mechanisms describe the characteristics from which a student must answer a question. • Context defines types of stimulus materials that can be used in the assessment items.

Content complexity considers factors such as: prior knowledge, processing of concepts and skills, structure/sophistication, number of parts, and application of content structure required to meet an expectation or to attain an outcome. DOK Level 2 Application of Skills & Concepts DOK Level 3 Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning Calculator Policy Link here for DRAFT document for “Calculator and Reference Sheet Policies”. Pg. 1 lists the functions that students WILL need on FSA. Pg. 2 lists the PROHIBITED functionalities. ALL STUDENTS taking an FSA Mathematics Assessment (Grades 7 and 8, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra 2) will always have access to the online calculator during the associated session(s) of their FSA, but students will also be permitted the use of an approved hand-held scientific calculator. It is a school district decision whether or not to purchase hand-held scientific calculators for students. No items in the current FSA EOC assessments require the graphing tool in order to solve them. Therefore, a scientific calculator is sufficient for all items. http://demo.tds.airast.org/TDSCalculator/TDSCalculator.html?mode=Scientific Calculator Designations As Noted in the Test Item Specifications YES – a calculator will be available for items written to a standard. NO – a calculator will NOT be available for items written to a standard. NEUTRAL – assessment items in standards that are labeled as “neutral” are reviewed by a committee of educators to determine if the item requires the use of a calculator. If the educators feel the item DOES NOT require the use of calculator, the item MAY BE PLACED on EITHER Session. http://demo.tds.airast.org/TDSCalculator/TDSCalculator.html?mode=Scientific Formulas Presented NOTE: The full intent of the standard(s) and the notations. EXAMPLE TO NOTE: MAFS.7.G.2.4 Formulas WILL NOT be given for area and circumference of circles. Technology Enhanced Questions (using online tools and manipulatives) TDC has stated that UP TO 50% of the FSA will be technologyenhanced items. Multiple-Choice Items Multi-Select Items Require the student to select a single answer option. Allow the student to select more than one answer option. These Multi-Select Items areare different from multiple-choice items. worth one point. Some items may ask the student to select Multi-Select DOof a specificItems number NOT have credit. responses, while partial other items may ask the student to select ALL correct A student MUST responses. SELECT ALL Multi-select items consist of: CORRECT ANSWERS A context (mathematical or to receive credit for the real-world) item. A question Two or more correct answers Several plausible distractors Multiple-choice items consist of: a context (mathematical or real-world) a question a single correct answer three plausible distractors Equation Response Items Equation items require the student to enter a valid statement that answers the question. The response MAY BE a number, an expression, or an equation. Equation Response Items consist of: a context (mathematical or real-world) a question a response area Equivalent fractions and decimals WILL BE ACCEPTED except in items that are assessing a standard where a certain form is the expectation of the standard. A zero in the ones place for answers that fall between -1 and 1 (excluding 0 itself) is NOT required. Students can type in an answer using a mixed number OR a fraction greater than one. Grid Items with Action Buttons Grid items require the student to use the point, line, and/or arrow buttons to create a response on a grid. Grid items consist of: • • • a context (mathematical or real-world) a question a response area Hot Text Items Hot text items require the student to either click on a response option or drag a response option to another location. Hot text items consist of: a context (mathematical or real-world) a question a response area Open-Response Items Formerly identified as Natural Language Open-response items require the student to use the keyboard to enter a response into a text field. Different types of open-response items MAY appear on the test. Open-Response items consist of: a context (mathematical or real-world) a question a response area New Item Types Matching Items Matching items require the student to CHECK A BOX to indicate if information from a column header matches information from a row. Table Items Matching items consist of: a context (mathematical or real-world) Table items require the student to type NUMERIC VALUES into a given table. The student may complete the entire table or portions of the table, depending on the question that is asked. Table items consist of: a context (mathematical or real-world) a question a question a response area a response area Editing Task / Editing Choice Items New item types Editing task items require the student to CLICK on a highlighted word or phrase and ENTER a replacement word or phrase OR CLICK on a highlighted word or phrase and SELECT a replacement FROM A MENU. Editing Task items consist of: • a context (mathematical or real-world) • a question • a response area Items COULD COMBINE more than one item type. Equation Response Item Grid Item with Action Buttons This would be an example of a 2 point item.

Provides a frame for common teacher learning. The Blueprints are meant to be used as a starting point for collaborative unit planning. There are numerous hyperlinks (resources) within these blueprints. Units reference the use of EngageNY Modules Common Core “Flipbooks” intended to help teachers understand the depth of the math content standards and their connections to the SMP. The “flipbooks” have instructional strategies, explanation of possible misconceptions, and examples that are specific to the standards and grade level. Teachers and Researchers worked in partnership to create these ExampleBased Problem Sets. Helps Students: identify, discuss, and reduce misconceptions gain deeper conceptual understanding strengthen procedural skills Provides Teachers: insight into students’ thinking launch-point for mathematically-rich discussions with students address misconceptions and repeated errors Develop Common Assessments and Submit to Algebra Nation Mini Assessment – after a section video Summative Assessment– after a unit These can be available for ALL TEACHERS in the Teacher Area Progressions to Statistics and Probability Proficiency In Grade 6, students build on the knowledge and experiences in data analysis developed in earlier grades. In Grade 7, students move from concentrating on analysis of data to production of data, understanding that good answers to statistical questions depend upon a good plan for collecting data relevant to the questions of interest. Until Grade 8, almost all of students’ statistical topics and investigations have dealt with univariate data, e.g., collections of counts or measurements of one characteristic. Eighth graders apply their experience with the coordinate plane and linear functions in the study of association between two variables related to a question of interest. Students build on knowledge and experience described in the 6-8 Statistics and Probability Progression. Students develop a more formal and precise understanding of statistical inference, which requires a deeper understanding of probability. Because of its strong connection with modeling, the domain of Statistics and Probability is starred, indicating that all of its standards are modeling standards. Georgia Performance Standards in Mathematics “The central idea of all mathematics is to discover how knowing some things leads students, via reasoning, to know more – without having to commit the information to memory as a separate fact. It is the reasoned, logical connections that make mathematics manageable. The implementation of the standards in math places the expected emphasis on problem solving, reasoning, representation, connections, and communication.” https://www.georgiastandards.org http://betterlesson.com/common_core?from=bl_header Assessment Practice Materials Annotated 2013 and 2014 Grades 3-8 Mathematics State Test Questions Displays the kind of thinking that students are expected to be able to do on the new math assessments.
