GRADE 8 The Reference Sheet may be used when doing the short-response and extended-response

questions only If a formula or conversion is needed for a multiple-choice question it will be written near the question

The Reference Sheet for Grade 8 is attached

Walk through the reference sheet with the students

Review the different formulas with them

Review the conversions on the sheet

LESSONProblem 1 What formula do you use if you are to find simple interest

Answer Simple Interest I = prt

Problem 2 Find the amount of simple interest earned if $7300 is invested for 8 years at a rate of 4

I = prtI = (7300)(04)(8)I=$2336

Problem 3 If the outdoor temperature is77 deg F what is the temperature in Celsius

Show your work

C=59(Fminus32)

(write correct formula)C=5

Mini Lesson for Day 3 TOPIC Directions on test

Each year when we score the NYS tests we find student errors based on not following or not interpreting the directions correctly This mini lesson is designed to highlight some of those errors The following information applies to both Grade 7 and 8

GRADE 8

Multiple-choice questions

Encourage students to answer ALL of the multiple-choice questions Tell them to take an ldquoeducatedrdquo guess and to not leave any blanks

Students may do their work in Book 1and 2 that contains the multiple-choice questions Students may NOT use scrap paper for Book 1 and 2 Students will record answers on a separate scanning sheet so make sure students understand

that accuracy in recording answers is very important Only answers on the scanning sheet will be corrected Students must transfer their answers to

this sheet

Short-response and extended-response questions

If ldquoAnswer __________rdquo is providedhellipo If the student shows appropriate work arrives at a correct answer BUT writes an

incorrect answer on the answer blank the student may NOT receive full credito If a student fails to write the answer in the answer blank when the question requires

that work must be shown but shows appropriate work and clearly identifies a correct answer the student should still receive full credit

o If there is one numerical answer space provided and work is required a correct numerical answer with no work shown receives a score of 1

o If there are two numerical answer spaces provided and work is required for both parts then one correct numerical answer with no work shown receives a score of 0 If no work is shown the student must have BOTH numerical answers correct to receive a score of 1

o In a 3-point question that has two numerical answer spaces but work is required for only one of them then the student can receive a score of 2 if both numerical answers are correct but no work is shown

Encourage your students to always write their answers in the answer spaces provided

If ldquoOn the lines below explainhelliprdquo is providedhellipo If ruled lines are provided the student must write hisher explanation ON THOSE

LINES Mathematical work shown elsewhere on the page may NOT be considered unless the student explicitly points to the work as part of the answer

So train your students on the use of the ruled lines when lines are provided

If ldquoShow your workrdquo is requiredhellipo If a student does the work in other than the ldquoshow your workrdquo area that work may still

be scoredo If the question indicates ldquoshow your workrdquo a student will NOT receive full credit for a

correct numerical answer unless appropriate work is showno If the student shows appropriate work arrives at a correct answer BUT writes an

incorrect answer on the answer blank the student may NOT receive full credito If the question does not indicate for the students to show their work then teachers

may NOT score any work that the student shows

If ldquoTrial-and-errorrdquo OR ldquoGuess-and-checkrdquo method is usedhellipo Student must show evidence of three rounds of trial-and-error to receive credit for the

process One of the trials must result in the correct answero If the student uses this method heshe may cross out some trials and still receive full

credit if three trials are shown

ldquoRun-on math sentencerdquoo You may see this error when students simplify an expressiono An example is Simplify this expression (4+7)iquest 5

And the student writes this 4+7 = 11iquest 5 = 55 The student will NOT receive full credit because this math sentence says that

4+11 is 55 which is an incorrect statement ldquoExpressions vs equationsrdquohellip

o If a student is asked to provide an expression but instead provides an equation then the student will NOT receive full credit

Graphshellip (Graphs are part of the Grade 7 Statistics amp Probability Strand)o If a student is asked to provide a bar graph the bars MAY NOT TOUCH

ldquoRounding vs estimatingrdquohellipo If a question requires an estimated answer but the student calculates an answer using

the given values and then rounds the answer the student will NOT receive full credit Show your students the difference between rounding and estimating

ldquoCrossed-out workrdquohellipo If the student provides one legible response (and one response only) teachers should

score the response even if it has been crossed out If the student has written more than one response but has crossed some out teachers should score only the response that has not been crossed out

Problem 2

Countdown-to-the-Tests Mini Lesson for Day 4 TOPIC Rubrics

We score the short-response and extended-response questions on the NYS tests using the 2-Point and 3-Point Holistic Rubrics provided by NYSED

The following information applies to both Grade 7 and 8

GRADE 7 AND GRADE 8

Using the rubrics and the other information learned earlier of requirements that must be done when completing short-response and extended-response questions have the students use their skills to score questions

Have the students work independently to complete the problems for day 4

Once the papers are completed have two or three students volunteer to put their answers on transparencies or on newsprint FYIhellipthis would be a perfect time to use an ELMO if one is available in your school

Have the class discuss what score the paper should receive based on the rubrics and other knowledge they have of scoring papers

Now have students score their own papers Have them write their answer as Score A Have students write a justification for the score

Once this is completed have the students exchange papers and re-grade them to see if they score the papers the same This score is recorded as Score B Have students justify the score

Countdown-to-the-Tests

Mini Lesson for Day 3 TOPIC Directions on test

Each year when we score the NYS tests we find student errors based on not following or not interpreting the directions correctly This mini lesson is designed to highlight some of those errors The following information applies to both Grade 7 and 8

GRADE 8

Multiple-choice questions

Encourage students to answer ALL of the multiple-choice questions Tell them to take an ldquoeducatedrdquo guess and to not leave any blanks

Students may do their work in Book 1and 2 that contains the multiple-choice questions Students may NOT use scrap paper for Book 1 and 2 Students will record answers on a separate scanning sheet so make sure students understand

that accuracy in recording answers is very important Only answers on the scanning sheet will be corrected Students must transfer their answers to

this sheet

Short-response and extended-response questions

If ldquoAnswer __________rdquo is providedhellipo If the student shows appropriate work arrives at a correct answer BUT writes an

incorrect answer on the answer blank the student may NOT receive full credito If a student fails to write the answer in the answer blank when the question requires

that work must be shown but shows appropriate work and clearly identifies a correct answer the student should still receive full credit

o If there is one numerical answer space provided and work is required a correct numerical answer with no work shown receives a score of 1

o If there are two numerical answer spaces provided and work is required for both parts then one correct numerical answer with no work shown receives a score of 0 If no work is shown the student must have BOTH numerical answers correct to receive a score of 1

o In a 3-point question that has two numerical answer spaces but work is required for only one of them then the student can receive a score of 2 if both numerical answers are correct but no work is shown

Encourage your students to always write their answers in the answer spaces provided

If ldquoOn the lines below explainhelliprdquo is providedhellipo If ruled lines are provided the student must write hisher explanation ON THOSE

LINES Mathematical work shown elsewhere on the page may NOT be considered unless the student explicitly points to the work as part of the answer

So train your students on the use of the ruled lines when lines are provided

If ldquoShow your workrdquo is requiredhellipo If a student does the work in other than the ldquoshow your workrdquo area that work may still

be scoredo If the question indicates ldquoshow your workrdquo a student will NOT receive full credit for a

correct numerical answer unless appropriate work is showno If the student shows appropriate work arrives at a correct answer BUT writes an

incorrect answer on the answer blank the student may NOT receive full credito If the question does not indicate for the students to show their work then teachers

may NOT score any work that the student shows

If ldquoTrial-and-errorrdquo OR ldquoGuess-and-checkrdquo method is usedhellipo Student must show evidence of three rounds of trial-and-error to receive credit for the

process One of the trials must result in the correct answero If the student uses this method heshe may cross out some trials and still receive full

credit if three trials are shown

ldquoRun-on math sentencerdquoo You may see this error when students simplify an expressiono An example is Simplify this expression (4+7)iquest 5

And the student writes this 4+7 = 11iquest 5 = 55 The student will NOT receive full credit because this math sentence says that

4+11 is 55 which is an incorrect statement ldquoExpressions vs equationsrdquohellip

o If a student is asked to provide an expression but instead provides an equation then the student will NOT receive full credit

Graphshellip (Graphs are part of the Grade 7 Statistics amp Probability Strand)o If a student is asked to provide a bar graph the bars MAY NOT TOUCH

ldquoRounding vs estimatingrdquohellipo If a question requires an estimated answer but the student calculates an answer using

the given values and then rounds the answer the student will NOT receive full credit Show your students the difference between rounding and estimating

ldquoCrossed-out workrdquohellipo If the student provides one legible response (and one response only) teachers should

score the response even if it has been crossed out If the student has written more than one response but has crossed some out teachers should score only the response that has not been crossed out

Problem 2

Countdown-to-the-Tests Mini Lesson for Day 4 TOPIC Rubrics

We score the short-response and extended-response questions on the NYS tests using the 2-Point and 3-Point Holistic Rubrics provided by NYSED

The following information applies to both Grade 7 and 8

GRADE 7 AND GRADE 8

Using the rubrics and the other information learned earlier of requirements that must be done when completing short-response and extended-response questions have the students use their skills to score questions

Have the students work independently to complete the problems for day 4

Once the papers are completed have two or three students volunteer to put their answers on transparencies or on newsprint FYIhellipthis would be a perfect time to use an ELMO if one is available in your school

Have the class discuss what score the paper should receive based on the rubrics and other knowledge they have of scoring papers

Now have students score their own papers Have them write their answer as Score A Have students write a justification for the score

Once this is completed have the students exchange papers and re-grade them to see if they score the papers the same This score is recorded as Score B Have students justify the score
