2. © 2012 Common Core, Inc. All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units Session Objectives 2 Examine rigor from an assessment perspective. Examine Mid-Module and End-of-Module Assessment Tasks for G2—M3 and or G5—M3, including the accompanying rubrics and samples of student work. Explore PARCC Type I, Type II, and Type III tasks and compare them to problems in G2—M3 and G5—M3 and show how the tasks in our modules thoroughly address the PARCC Type II and Type III tasks. Analyze the rigor evident in the assessment tasks.

All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units Protocol Notes 18 Both assessments are about ½ class period in Grade 2, about 1 class period in Grade 5 and are independently completed by the students without assistance. The assessment tasks should be new to students and not preceded by analogous problems.

30. © 2012 Common Core, Inc. All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units Key Points 30 Rigor is an intense balance of procedural skill and fluency, conceptual understanding, and application. Assessment tasks in A Story of Units Are similar to problems on The Illustrative Mathematics Project and PARCC sample tasks, preparing students for PARCC assessments Address multiple content and practice standards Provide formative information Give a detailed insight into students’ thinking, reasoning, and understanding
