13. Fair Game Benchmarks Department of Mathematics and Science Scaffolding in the classroom: “Scaffolding can be used in a variety of content areas and across age and grade levels.” “When using scaffolding as an instructional technique, the teacher provides tasks that enable the learner to build on prior knowledge and internalize new concepts.” -Heather Coffey Prior Knowledge: Items may require the student to apply scientific knowledge described in NGSSS benchmarks from lower grades; however, the benchmarks from lower grades will not be assessed in isolation. FCAT 2.0 will assess prior content taught in lower grades that serves as a foundation for grade 5 benchmarks along with grades 3 & 4 Fair Game benchmarks.

16. IDENTIFYING THE LEARNING TARGET Provide students with a clear vision of the learning target from the beginning of the learning, along with samples of strong and weak work so they can see a progression to competence laid before them. 16 Rick Stiggins Assessment for Learning 2005

17. YOU HAVE THREE SECONDS  Can you find a man’s face hidden within the beans? 17

18. WHERE IS THE MAN’S FACE? If I provide even more information (block out more of the picture) does it help you identify the target? 18

40. Diversity and Evolution of Living Organisms Animal Classification

41. Mammals and birds are warm-blooded, which means that they can make their own body heat even when it is cold outside. Whether it is sunny and hot outside or there is a snowstorm and it is very cold, warm- blooded animals have body temperatures that usually stay the same. Animal Classification

42. Cold-blooded animals, like reptiles, amphibians, and fish, become hotter and colder, depending on the temperature outside. For example, when the sun sets at night, their bodies are cooler because it is less warm outside. When the sun is out, however, their bodies soak up the heat and become warmer.

51. Questions to Stimulate Student Thinking To encourage students' reasoning about mathematics and science, and to involve them in higher-order thinking processes, teachers must be adept at posing clarifying and provocative questions. Florida Curriculum Framework, p. 146

52. Helping students work together to make sense of mathematics or science: "What do others think about what Sam said?" "Do you agree? Disagree?" "Does anyone have the same answer but a different way to explain it?" "Would you ask the rest of the class that question?" "Do you understand what they are saying?" "Can you convince the rest of us that makes sense?" Questions to Stimulate Student Thinking

53. Helping students to rely more on themselves to determine whether something is correct:  "Why do you think that?"  "Why is that true?"  "How did you reach that conclusion?"  "Does that make sense?“  "Can you make a model to show that?" Questions to Stimulate Student Thinking

54. Helping students learn to reason:  “How do you know?”  "Does that always work?"  "Is that true of an opposite/different example?"  "How would you show that this is true?”  “Can you give examples that support this?”  “How did you figure this out?" Questions to Stimulate Student Thinking

55. Helping students learn to conjecture, invent, and solve problems:  "What would happen if...?"  "Do you see a pattern?"  "What are some possibilities here?"  "Can you predict the next one? What about the last one?"  "How did you think about the problem?"  "What decision do you think he should make?"  "What is alike and what is different about your method of solution and hers?" Questions to Stimulate Student Thinking

56. Helping students to make connections within the content, between content areas, and to the real world  "How does this relate to...?"  "What ideas that we have learned before were useful in solving the problem?"  "Have we ever solved a problem like this one before?"  "What uses of mathematics [science] did you find at home/in your video game/ on television last night?"  "Can you give me an example of... in the real world?" Questions to Stimulate Student Thinking
