PARCC

The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers

(PARCC) is a consortium of 23 states plus the U.S. Virgin Islands working

together to develop a common set of K-12 assessments in English and

Math anchored in what it takes to be ready for college and careers.

Items and Tasks Prototypes

Grade 3MathematicsSummative Assessment

Task TypesType I: Tasks assessing concepts, skills and procedures.

Tasks include a balance of conceptual understanding, fluency, and application. These tasks can involve any or all mathematical practice standards.

Tasks will be machine scorable and will include innovative, computer-based formats.

Task Types (cont.)

Type I:

Tasks will appear on the End of Year and Performance Based Assessment components and generate evidence for measuring major, additional, and supporting content with connections to the mathematical practices as indicated in the PARCC Model Content Frameworks for Mathematics.*

SAMPLE ITEM•Fractions on Number Line

SAMPLE ITEM•Fluency

Task Types (cont.)Type II: Tasks assessing concepts, skills and procedures.

Tasks call for written arguments/ justifications, critique of reasoning, or precision in mathematical statements (MP. 3, 6). These tasks can also involve other mathematical practice standards.

Tasks may include a mix of innovative, machine scored and hand scored responses.

Task Types (cont.)

Type II:

Tasks will be included on the Performance Based Assessment component and generate evidence for measuring mathematical reasoning with connections to content.

SAMPLE ITEM•The Field
