Change Timeline

Spring 2013: ISAT with 10-20% Change to CCSS

Spring 2014: ISAT with Additional Change to CCSS

Spring 2015:PARCC Assessments: Fully Aligned to CCSS

Current ISAT Questions:

4th Grade Math:

Find the answer:

7 X 5 =

8th Grade Math:

Expand (x – 2)( x – 3).

PARCC Prototype Questions:

3rd Grade Math:

Amber didn’t know what 7 X 5 equals, but she knew 5 X 5 = 25 and 2 X 5 = 10. Use drawings, words, and/or equations to explain why Amber can add 25 and 10 to find what 7 X 5 equals.

6th Grade Math:

What is the value of 3x + y + 3 – 3(x + y) when x = 18.22 and y = -1?

Find a value for k and a value for n so that (x – 2)(x – 3) = x2 + kx + n.

Prototype CCSS/PARCC Questions for English Language Arts

Standard 3: Key Ideas & Details

Students read Robert Cole’s retelling of a series of historical events in “The Story of Ruby Bridges.” Using their knowledge of how cause and effect gives order to events, they use specific language to describe the sequence of events that leads to Ruby desegregating her school. (Third Grade)

Students explain the relationship between time and clocks using specific information drawn from Bruce Koscielniak’s “About Time: A First Look at Time & Clocks.” (Fifth Grade)
