Differentiated Instruction Utilize problem of the day to target secondary benchmark with whole class if needed. Teacher-led center should be used to target weak benchmarks. Computer software (e.g., Destination Math, HMH Mega Math, Florida Online Intervention) can be used to target student specific needs. Assessments and tasks can be adjusted to meet student specific academic needs. Utilize anchor papers/tasks to increase student achievement in levels 4 and 5.

Assessments (Go Math!) Forms A and B

Cognitive Complexity Cognitive complexity refers to the cognitive demand associated with an item. Beginning in 2004, the DOE implemented a new cognitive classification system based upon Dr. Norman L. Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels. The rationale for classifying an item by its DOK level of complexity focuses on the expectations made of the item, not on the ability of the student. The cognitive complexity of an item depends on the grade level of the assessment; an item that has a high level of cognitive complexity at one grade may not be as complex at a higher grade. FCAT 2.0 Mathematics Test Item Specifications, Grades 3–5 Florida Department of Education

Cognitive Complexity Levels The categories—low complexity, moderate complexity, and high complexity—form an ordered description of the demands an item may make on a student. For example, low-complexity items may require a student to solve a one-step problem. Moderate-complexity items may require multiple steps. High-complexity items may require a student to analyze and synthesize information. FCAT 2.0 Mathematics Test Item Specifications, Grades 3–5 Florida Department of Education
