  1. Gearing Up for the End-of-Grade Tests 2013

  2. End-of-Grade Test • Administered to 3rd – 5th graders May 20 - 24 • Reading • Math • Science (5th grade)

  3. Performance Levels • Level 4: Above grade level. Students have a superior command of the knowledge and skills in the CCSSM and are academically well prepared to engage successfully in further studies in this content area. • Level 3: On grade level. Students have a solid command of the knowledge and skills in the CCSSM and are academically prepared to engage successfully in further studies in this content area. • Level 2: Slightly below grade level. Students have a partial command of the knowledge and skills in the CCSSM and will likely need academic support to engage successfully in further studies in this content area. • Level 1: Below grade level. Students have a limited command of the knowledge and skills in the CCSSM and will need academic support to engage successfully in further studies in this content area.

  4. Math End-of-Grade Test • 54 Total Questions Calculator Active: 27 questions (50%) Calculator Inactive: 27 questions (50%) • Multiple-choice questions (Gr. 3-5) • Grid-Ins (Gr. 5)

  5. Grid-In Questions Grade 5 only 8 items Will be included in the calculator inactive section Practice will be provided

  6. Grid-In Questions Students enter a numerical response Equivalent numbers are accepted (5/10 = ½, .5, or 0.5) No spaces within numbers allowed Decimals and / are permitted Commas and $ are not permitted

  7. Grid-InConstructed Response Item • A company is having a picnic. The expenses will be for music and refreshments. • The music will cost $150. • The refreshments will cost $125.  • Tickets will be sold for $2.50 per employee. • What is the minimum number of tickets that must be sold to pay for the picnic expenses? Calculator: Inactive

  8. Grid-In Questions 2 1 • Practice, practice, practice! • Use computation and word problems involving numerical responses • Practice Sheet • Place in Math Journals • Practice problems periodically for Ten-Minute Math, Morning Work, Intervention Time, or extra math minutes

  9. Math End-of-Grade TestGrades 3 – 5 Test will not require the use of rulers or protractors Graph paper and blank paper are provided

  10. Math End-of-Grade Test • One Day Administration • Calculator Inactive section administered first and then the active section • Time Frames Estimated Time: 3 hours Maximum Time: 4 hours (without accommodations) • Provisions will be made for students who need time beyond the scheduled amount of time.

  11. Preparing for the EOG • Teach the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics!

  12. Number of Test ItemsGrades 3 – 5

  13. Best Practices in Math • Teaching for understanding rather than memorization “Items assess whether a student can move beyond memorization and apply process skills to the investigation of mathematics.” Test Information Sheets • Examples: • Multiplication • Geometric Shapes • Understanding the concept instead of just the procedure You can’t memorize understanding!

  14. Best Practices in Math • Discussion of mathematics • Questioning & Justification of thinking • Why? • Why did that work? • How did you get that answer? • Does that work every time? • Can you find another way to get the solution? • Is your answer reasonable? • What happens if…..? • Justifying answers and solution processes

  15. Preparing for the TestGrades 3 – 5 • Pick 2-3 big concepts to focus on. • 3rd – Multiplication (connected to Algebra), Fractions, & Area/Perimeter • 4th – Fractions, Multiplication/Division • 5th – Fractions & Decimals • Do not spend precious time on drill and practice of computation facts.

  16. Preparing for the Test Practice sample EOG test items. Help students to analyze test questions and pick distracters.

  17. EOG Test Information Accountability Website: http://www.ncpublicschools.org/accountability/testing/ Includes: Test Information & Specifications Achievement Level Descriptors FAQs Grid-In Practice and Examples Sample Items
