Individual Project:

CCSSM and Learning Trajectory Assessment and Application Project

Due as an electronic document: Friday, July 8, 2016

Submit via email to: Michelle Douglas Meyer

Electronic Submission of Project

Submit MS Word or compatible file; label file with the standard, SSM, and last name: KCC5-SSM-Hawkins.docx (File name has no spaces and no internal periods except for the period prior to the file name extension.)

If assessment items are developed in a format other than MS Word take a screen shot of your task and insert into word document. (For example, dot patterns may be created in Powerpoint. A screenshot of those patterns should be placed in the word document.)

The purpose of this individual project is to:

  • Study a standard or set of related standards for mathematical content from the CCSSM.
  • Connect this standard or set of related standards to specific learning trajectory.
  • Develop a three-part assessment for that standard that targets the content of the standards and incorporates learning trajectory growth.

Note: This project will be shared with all Strong Start participants so all benefit from your thinking and work.

Part 1: Standard

Select a standard distributed by the course instructors to study. List the
grade level, domain, cluster, and standard you are studying for this project.

Part 2: Explanation and Examples of the Standards

What does the standard really mean students will understand? What concept-based language might students and teachers use? What representations, contexts, and strategies support the understanding of the standard? What learning trajectory/trajectories might this standard support?

(a)Explanation: Use resources from our Strong Start Math Summer Institute 2016 to help you interpret concepts, key terms, or phrases within the standard. Write an explanation of the standard in teacher friendly language, pulling it apart as needed for analysis.

(b)Examples: Provide examples of what these mathematical ideas look like in classroom practice (e.g., what students are expected to do), and how teachers and students should be talking about these mathematical ideas.

Part 3: Assessment There are three parts to this assessment. Use the template provided in class to organize this portion of your project.

Step A:Develop a core assessment that will be used to explore student understanding of your standard. The development of the core assessment addresses content in the CCSSM standard andisguided by young children’s mathematical growth as outlined by the learning trajectory. The core assessment should be organized according to the order of how they will be presented to students.

Step B: Develop a follow-up assessment for students that are successful with the core assessment. The development of the follow-up assessment for successful students addresses content in the CCSSM standard and is guided by young children’s mathematical growth as outlined by the learning trajectory.

Step C: Develop a follow-up assessment for students that struggle with the core assessment. The development of the follow-up assessment for struggling students addresses content in the CCSSM standard and is guided by young children’s mathematical growth as outlined by the learning trajectory.
