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.

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.
