Goals
• Provide clarity regarding format and content of 2013 NYS Math Exams
• Discuss content emphases and impact on prioritizing instruction
• Discuss tasks and instructional implications of using NYSED Sample Items

Where We Are Going by 2014-15

What do we know about Assessment…
• TODAY!!
• PARCC• Pearson

What is PARCC?• Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for
College and Careers (PARCC)– 24 States
http://www.parcconline.org/

PARCC’s Recommendationsto prepare our students:
• Focus strong on areas where the standards focus (critical areas)
• Coherences—pay attention across grades and link major topics within grades
• Rigor, fluency, application and deep understanding
The assessments are anchored in college and career readiness.

This Year, Start Here!

NYS Assessment Time-line• 2012-2013 + 2013-2014: NYS developed
assessments (“parallel” to the PARCC assessments) measuring CCSSM – right now, the “test structure” is slated to look exactly like what we have, just measuring new content/practices
• 2012-2013: PARCC field testing will occur• 2014-2015: CCSS PARCC assessments
operational nationally

What did we learn from “Item Review” with Pearson & NYSED?
Highlights of Committee Review Work in Albany:• NYSED plans on releasing 3-4 more items/grade level in
January and/or February as additional examples of items;
• Some field test questions will be embedded in the operational tests; will also be field testing

More
• Review Scoring Guide carefully – lots of information in there (testing times, number of questions, scoring rubrics, reference tables)
• Multiple Choice items will be secure; decision has not been made about whether constructed response items will be
• “Simplify” is not in the Common Core! But may be used at grades 7 or 8
• Pay attention to details of each Standard
![Page 11: RCSD Testing Guidance 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681642d550346895dd5f49a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
More
• Review revised rubric for scoring considerations; most noteworthy edit is that students’ work does NOT have to be “perfect” to earn the highest score – must demonstrate understanding (e.g., students will not be penalized for “mathematical run-ons” if it shows correct thinking and student arrives at correct answer;
• Standards requiring “fluency” will not be tested by NYSED – this should be done in class, but cannot be assessed on State Exam assessment
![Page 12: RCSD Testing Guidance 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681642d550346895dd5f49a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
More
• Calculator CHOICE at 6th grade – basic 4-function OR scientific calculator – we would strongly recommend scientific calculators if you can afford them for 6th graders!
• Multiple representations/understand concepts from multiple perspectives
• While Standards for Mathematical Practice are not tagged to specific assessment items, students NEED to have learning opportunities to engage in the Practices in class, or they will not have the strategies to reason and problem solve and communicate clearly on the state
