State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR™) Performance Level Descriptors

Grade 6 Mathematics

Performance Level Descriptors

Mathematical process skills are not assessed in isolation but are incorporated into questions that assess grade 6 content. These process skills focus on applying mathematics to solve problems, communicating about mathematics, and using logical reasoning.

Students achieving Level III: Advanced Academic Performance can

• Evaluate the reasonableness of solutions to application problems involving operations with fractions, decimals, and whole numbers

• Extend and apply ratios to solve application problems including relationships with a constant rate of change • Extend and apply geometry and measurement concepts to solve application problems including circumference • Make predictions and inferences from data

Students achieving Level II: Satisfactory Academic Performance can

• Identify equivalent forms of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals • Solve application problems involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals • Solve application problems involving multiplication and division of whole numbers including equivalent ratios and rates • Use order of operations to simplify whole number expressions in problem-solving situations • Use ratios to represent proportional relationships and solve problems • Formulate linear equations from problem situations • Use geometric relationships to solve application problems involving the angles in triangles and quadrilaterals and the

radius, diameter, and circumference of circles • Select and use appropriate units, tools, and formulas to measure and solve application problems involving length,

perimeter, area, time, temperature, volume, and weight • Solve problems by collecting, organizing, displaying, and interpreting data

Students achieving Level I: Unsatisfactory Academic Performance can

• Use models to solve addition and subtraction problems with fractions • Represent ratios using models, fractions, and decimals • Classify and measure angles • Select an appropriate representation for displaying data

Adult Actions: to address student achievement

Action to Address

Prior to Instruction Evidence Reflective Question(s)

Plan Instruction (Tier 1/2)

Team meets to plan instruction Similar strategies/ resources used within instruction

When does the team meet to plan instruction? Who contributes to planning and creating resources? How can we make planning time more productive?

Summative assessment is developed prior to instruction on the unit

Copy of assessment provided to all team members prior to unit

How does the team develop summative assessments? What process is in place to provide all team members input into creating assessments? What structure is needed to complete this task prior to the unit?

Identify & Support Needs

Identify individual student gaps in pre-requisite knowledge (pre-assessment)

Plan is created to fill gaps prior to instruction

Pre-Assessment Data for Power Standards Noted on Calendar/Lesson Plans (warm-up, small group, etc.)

What skills do students need to master prior to this unit? What strategy will you/did you use to pre-teach these concepts?

Formative Assessment

Team discusses/creates (Know/Do) formative assessments

Observe formative assessment in CWT’s , team meeting notes

What formative assessment will you use to measure student understanding of the Know? Of the Do? Who develops the formative assessments that your team uses? What support do you need to implement formative assessment into your daily instruction?

Research (rigor)

Identify best practices/lessons Discussion of lessons What have you used in the past to teach ____ that has worked? What does research say about students learning ____topic? What resources are available to support instruction on _____topic? Who or where could you go for a suggestion?

Review assessment items for TEKS Assessment items pulled up in meetings How has this TEKS been tested in the past? What samples do we have that represent the rigor of STAAR/EOC?

Topic to Address

During Instruction Evidence Reflective Question(s)

Pre-Teach Teacher uses a pre-teach to fill gaps in instruction for identified students Supporting STAAR Lessons have examples

Observe pre-teach in CWT’s Lesson Plans

How can you provide opportunities for students to review pre-requisite skills within your instruction? What skills have you identified that need to be re-taught?

Provide Support in the

Lesson
