Mathematics Assessment TasksCoffee talk
Classroom assessments can actively promote access to learning. In fact, assessments might be the best way to connect more students to conversations and activities directly related to standards.

Our current assessment systems are harming huge numbers of students for reasons that few understand. And that harm arises directly from our failure to balance our use of standardized tests and classroom assessments in the service of school improvement.

Mathematics Assessment TasksHistory and intent
This project is a collaboration between The NoyceFoundation and The Charles A. Dana Center…
…centered around the extensive work of the Noyce Foundation’s Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS) assessment items, and
…intended to support effective district, school, and classroom use of quality constructed-response assessment tools and resources.

Group Norms
• Understand that those who work, learn.• Look for solutions, not blame.• Be honest.• Recognize that everyone has expertise.• Challenge ideas.• Phrase questions and comments for the benefit of
the group.• Share talk time.
June 2010
Learning ExpectationsParticipants will:
• Learn the purpose of and how to use the various components of this assessment resource.
• Determine how the comparison data component can be used to influence decisions about curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
• Develop inter-rater reliability by utilizing the provided scoring guides and student work samples.
• Identify potential next steps and implications for use of this assessment resource at the district and/or classroom level.

Mathematics Assessment TasksLearning about the components of a task
Grade 5 – Buttons
1. Independently, work the task.
2. As a table, discuss the mathematical concepts and processes in the task?
3. Align the task to the Common Core State Standards. Record your findings on the Index and Alignment Worksheet.

Grade 5 – Buttons
4. Use your own work to understand the scoring guide. 5.Independently, score the student work samples.
Even tables score samples A-F and MOdd tables score samples G-M
6.Come to consensus for each student work sample.
7. Use the Table of Student Scores to determine accuracy.

Look at the distribution of the scores from “this class” as represented on the bar graph.
Why might I want to compare “this class” to the larger sample size found in the comparison data?

Mathematics Assessment TasksAdditional considerations
• The task description printed on the blackline master and the scored student work may not be identical.
• Grade placement of a task may or may not align to your state standards and/or Common Core State Standards.
• The task, the scoring guide, and the comparison data are all connected.
