Lessons learned from our first FCAT 2.0 Breakfast Point Academy October 27, 2011 Be ready to explain how you determined each value. Solve this CCSS Its coming What did you do? Grade 3 Big Idea 1: Multiplication & Division Model the operations, solve problems, and apply properties Big Idea 2: Fractions Represent fractions, find equivalent fractions, compare and order fractions Big Idea 3: Geometry Describe shapes and angles, compose and decompose polygons, and identify congruent and symmetrical figures Test Development Site Content Focus Reports Big Idea 1: Multiplication & Division ~ MA.3.A.1.1 Good news : Students understand the relationship between multiplication and repeated addition. Nathan paid $2 for each of the 3 books he bought. He used the expression 3 X 2 to find the total amount he paid. Which of the following is equal to 3 X 2? A B C D. 2x3+3 GRIDS for Grades 4 and 5 4. Analyzing their answers. Does the answer make sense in the context of the question? 1. Use of the reference sheet: student answers reflect using a formula without understanding the concept. Some of the Challenges for Grades 6 8 2. Gridded response: some students are rounding incorrectly, especially with hours and dollars. In dollars does not mean whole dollars, and in hours does not mean whole hours. 3. Determining what the question is asking. Grids for Grades 6 and 7 Reference Sheet for 6th 8th Challenging Items MA.6.A.2.1 Use reasoning about multiplication and division to solve ratio and rate problems. Reporting Category: Fractions and Ratios/Proportional Relationships/Statistics Item Specs To solve this problem, the rate of success for each player needs to be determined. Karla and Becky were practicing free throws. Karla attempted 24 free throws and was successful 8 times. Becky attempted 20 free throws and was successful 5 times. At these rates, how many more successful free throws would Karla make than Becky if they each attempted 180 free throws? A. 15 B. 23 C. 27 D. 51 MA.6.A.1.3 Solve real world problems involving multiplication and division of fractions and decimals. Mr. Nichols wants to store cups of stew in containers. Each container holds a maximum of cups of stew. What is the minimum number of containers Mr. Nichols needs to hold all the stew? A. 9 B. 17 C. 25 D. 51 MA.6.A.3.2. Write, solve, and graph one and two-step linear equations and inequalities. Reporting Category: Expressions and Equations Example: The height of a tree was 7 inches in the year Each year the same tree grew an additional 10 inches. From the following options identify an equation to show the height, h, of the tree in y years, letting y be the number of years after the year 2000; or from the following options identify the graph for the height of the tree for the first 20 years. MA.6.G.4.2 Find the perimeters and areas of composite two dimensional figures, including non rectangular figures (such as semicircles) using various strategies. Reporting Category: Geometry Jim is repainting a free throw key of a basketball court. The free throw key is made by combining a rectangle and a semicircle, as shown below. MA.6.G.4.2 In order to know how much paint to purchase, Jim will determine the area of the free throw key. What is the total area, to the nearest whole square foot, of the free throw key shown in the diagram?
