SESSION PREMISE

Students will take the Math STAAR Test Spring 2015.

They may see items in which they were not exposed to during the school year.

Some Potential Causes :

Cause 1: New Instructional Materials Not Written for STAAR 2015

Cause 2: Teacher Lack of Knowledge of New TEKS As Interpreted in TEA Side By Sides And Focal Points

Cause 3: Time for Planning to Implement New TEKS for New STAAR

Cause 4: Time for Professional Development regarding New TEKS, New STAAR, and Instruction

Cause 5: Time and Skill to Look for Aligned Materials to New STAAR 2015

Cause 6: Time and Skill to Create Materials for New TEKS and STAAR 2015

Cause 7: Time and Knowledge of Instructional Prioritization for STAAR 2015

VALIDITY

Validity is the extent to which a test item measures

what it claims to measure.

It is vital for the item to be valid

in order for the results to be accurately applied and interpreted.

Math Grade 3 Item No. 10Previous RC 3 Geometry and Spatial Reasoning TEKS 3.10(A)

The student is expected to locate and name points on a number line using, whole numbers and fractions

including halves and fourths.

NOTE: WHOLE NUMBERS MOVED TO 2.2(E)

Only the fraction portion of 3.10(A)-previous

aligns to 3.3(B) and 3.7(A)-new. This question

addresses the whole number part which has

moved to 2.2(E,F). This question could be used

for grade 2 because the numbers are less than

1,200 -the whole numbers in grade 2 TEKS (see

Baucom’s Place Value Chart)

NOTE: 3.3(B) and 3.7(A) are both in RC 1.

Math Grade 4 Item No. 2Previous RC 3 Geometry and Spatial Reasoning TEKS 4.10(A)

The student is expected to locate and name points on a number line using, whole numbers, fractions

such as halves and fourths, and decimals such as tenths.

Step 1:

1 2 3 4

Step 1: Determine the interval from 2 whole numbers

Step 2: Mark the number line to U

Correct. Located Mary at (o) on x access then moving up y axis by (1). Then located Hailey by moving

2 over on x access to (2) and 3 up y axis to (4).

Incorrect. Located Mary then incorrectly went up y axis 2 and across x axis by 3

Incorrect. Incorrectly located Mary then at (1,0) then went across 3 on x axis and up 2 on y.

Incorrect. located Mary then continued up y axis for 3 then 2 for (0,6)

Item 32 (RC3) was chosen to show the relationship

between points on a number line (RC1) along with

the understanding of perpendicular lines in grade

4 lead to the coordinate plane in grade 5 as seen

in the new 5.8(A).


NOTE: Question 32

could be used for

instruction of 5.8(A)

and 5.8.(C). However,

for testing purposes, a

question is needed

that addresses

fractional values
