Performance Tasks

Purpose: This booklet contains Performance Task items requiring students to justify and explain their reasoning. Aligned to the state standards, problems can be used to check progress and facilitate projections of student performance. Student responses can also be used to maximize student exposure to the content and skills that will be assessed and to help maintain and advance overall student performance. This booklet is most effective as an ongoing supplemental tool to inform and guide instruction and confirm student mastery of essential skills and concepts.

 

Comprehensive Domain Review

Purpose: The Comprehensive Domain Review (CDR) The Comprehensive Domain Review (CDR) is designed to facilitate review and preview of each of the domains of the state standards. The booklet is organized in a linear fashion to allow focused practice for each domain covered. These books are typically used as HomePrep℠ which are organized with multiple domains/standards on each page of the booklet.

 

Mathematical Modeling Resources (Grades 3-5)

This supplemental resource is the first of its kind that is solely dedicated to Mathematical Modeling!

The Mathematical Modeling Books are designed to facilitate teaching and learning of essential state standards concepts and skills through mathematical models. This strategy increases the student's ability to understand and solve problems by choosing and using models that represent, justify, and/or explain problems and solutions, strengthening conceptual understanding.

For students to become mathematically proficient, they must be able to experiment with representing problems in multiple ways including numbers, mathematical language (words), drawing pictures, using objects, making a chart, list, graph, or creating equations. Students need opportunities to gain conceptual understanding of these representations (models) to choose and use them appropriately.

ACALETICS® Mathematical Modeling Books for Grades 3-5 cover a number of State Standards at each grade level. These books are ideal for supplementing class work, Math Club℠ , and HomePrep℠ .

Quik-Piks

Purpose: The highly popular Quik-Piks series offer a "quik" way to "pik" a variety of math problems designed to preview, review and reinforce the math concepts and skills of the state standards. Each page of the booklets are multi-domained and include a variety of ways to answer problems (e.g. multiple choice, multi-select, open response, table, etc). Each booklet also includes Performance Tasks problems to practice and strengthen reasoning skills. These booklets can be used daily as part of the ACALETICS Math Club℠, class work and/or HomePrep℠ (homework).

 

Comprehensive Pre-Post Assessment

Purpose: The Comprehensive Pre-Post Assessment is designed to check student progress towards mastery of the state standards and to facilitate projections of student performance. The Assessment supports educators to identify both the MPIC and MPIC+ scores for each assessment item. The MPIC and MPIC+ metrics will help an educator determine the most common misconception, across various groupings of students, on an item-by-item basis. By using the MPIC and MPIC+ metrics, educators have the opportunity to craft more informed and targeted instructional strategies specific to students' needs. Results are used to confirm student mastery of essential concepts and skills and to drive Problem Attack Strategy Sessions (P.A.S.S.).

 

Comprehensive Midterm Assessment

Purpose: The Comprehensive Mid-Term Assessment, a shorter version of the Comprehensive Pre-Post Assessment, is designed to check student progress towards mastery of the state standards and to facilitate projections of student performance. It can also be used as an ongoing supplemental tool to inform and guide instruction based on an item analysis which identifies the most commonly missed problems and the most commonly picked incorrect responses. Results will also confirm student mastery of essential concepts and skills. This assessment complements the Comprehensive Pre-Post by providing teachers a mid-year opportunity to assess and identify concepts and skills that continue to challenge students with the aid of the item analysis.

 

 

Placement Assessment

Purpose: The Placement Assessment is designed to aid teachers and/or school administrators in identifying students level of readiness to apply previously learned skills to the next level of standards.

Results of these assessments can be used as a basis for:

  • Placement of students in appropriate performance level groups.
  • Determination of effective class-sizing recommendations for Strategic-Student Performance-Based Groups (S2PBG).
  • Customization of the district-approved textbook by grade level with the ACALETICS Scope and Sequence.
