GOALS FOR THIS WORKSHOP

Participants will know: Requirements for

demonstrating proficiency in the Essential Skill of Apply Mathematics

Updated Math Problem Solving Scoring Guide and Traits

Resources and professional development available 2

Apply Mathematics RequirementsOAR: 581-22-0615Students who entered high school as 9th graders in 2010-11 will be required to demonstrate proficiency in three essential skills:read & comprehend a variety of text

write clearly and accuratelyapply mathematics

APPLY MATHEMATICS IN A VARIETY OF SETTINGS

This Essential Skill includes all of the following:

Interpret a situation and apply workable mathematical concepts and strategies, using appropriate technologies where applicable.

Produce evidence, such as graphs, data, or mathematical models, to obtain and verify a solution.

Communicate and defend the verified process

Mathematics Work Sample scored using Official State Scoring Guide

Two Mathematics Work Samples Requiredone each for two of the following:

geometry, algebra or statistics

Score: 4 or higher on each of the five traits 6

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE MATHEMATICS SCORING GUIDE?

In use since 1988 (minor revisions in 2000)

2009-2010 new version based on Oregon Mathematics Content Standards

2010-11 aligned to the Common Core State Standards

Adopted by Oregon State Board of Education May 2011

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE MATHEMATICS SCORING GUIDE?

Districts should use the new scoring guide when training teachers for classroom activities and Essential Skills work samples.

The Scoring Guide is intended to be more than a final assessment tool.

Both teachers and students can use the Scoring Guide to improve math skills.

13

RUMOR VERSUS REALITY

Rumor Reality Work Samples

must be scored by 2 raters

Only one rater is required

In the case of a borderline passing paper, districts may wish to have more than 1 rater.

14

RUMOR VERSUS REALITY

Rumor Reality Students may not

revise after a work sample has been scored

Students may revise and resubmit work samples to be rescored

Revisions must remain the product of the student’s independent efforts

15

RUMOR VERSUS REALITY

Rumor Teachers may not

provide any feedback

Reality Feedback is

allowed using ONLY the Scoring Guide and/or the Official Scoring Form

A student must score a 4 in each required trait for each individual work sample.

A student may combine scores from multiple work samples to meet the achievement standard

RUMOR VERSUS REALITY

Rumor Reality

Only trained raters can score work samples

TRUE – raters must be trained to use the scoring guide accurately

“Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution.

They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt.”

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
