Session Objectives
• Analyze a 5th grade task in relation to the Common Core State Standards
• Review resources and elements of CRA scoring
• Practice a scoring protocol
• Discuss the opportunity to improve instruction through the CRA
• Expected Concerns– Time requirements with scoring
– Disagreement between scores
– Process elements
4
Our Approach
• The expansion of the Constructed Response Assessment is designed to promote:
–Learning about the Standards, both for Content and Mathematical Practice
–Insight into the expected format of the PARCC Assessment
–A lens into student understanding against the expectations of the Standards

Focusing on the Standards
Grade TNCore Focus Standards3rd Grade Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division
4th Grade Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understanding
of operations on whole numbers5th Grade Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions
Apply and extend previous understanding of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions
6th Grade Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems Apply and extend previous understanding of arithmetic to algebraic expressions
7th Grade Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems
Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations
8th Grade Define, evaluate, and compare functions Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear
equations

Focusing on the Standards
The Standards for Mathematical Practice: 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.4. Model with mathematics.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.6. Attend to precision.7. Look for and make use of structure.8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Scoring Practice
• Try scoring the first three papers in the training set on your own. Please do not score the last paper at this time.
• As you are scoring, refer back to the guide sheet and papers 1, 4, and 10 from the scoring guide that we reviewed.
• Keep in mind: what evidence does the student provide to demonstrate his/her knowledge and abilities in relation to the standards and practices?
• In a few minutes you will be asked to share your scores with a neighbor. Check for agreement on the content and practices. If you don’t agree, discuss the student work, referring back to the guide sheet and papers in the guide, and try to reach consensus.

CRA Scoring Support
• At least 2 meetings in each CORE w/ Regional Math Coordinator for district staff (before Oct. 26)
• Video for every task
• Core coaches are available for grade-level questions (contacts released Oct. 15)
• Scoring guides themselves– TNCore username: tncore-math password: firsttothetop%
• Each other – conversations are critical!
