Ne. SA-Math Transition October 11 -13 & 18 -19, 2016 Assessment and Accountability

Introductions

Changes for Math Assessments 2017 Field test with TE items Calculator Section No grade 11 Ne. SA

Timeline for Math Assessment Development (draft) • September 2015 – Standards adopted by State Board • Ne. SA 2016 tests on previous standards • Ne. SA 2017 tests on previous standards with field testing of items for new standards • Ne. SA 2018 tests on CCR standards with field testing of items for new standards

Field Testing Math Standards 2016 2009 2015 Number Sense Number System Operations Computation Estimation Numeric Relationships Operations Geometric/Measurement Geometry Characteristics Coordinate Geometry Transformations Spatial Modeling Measurement Characteristics Coordinate Geometry Measurement Algebraic Concepts Algebra Relationships Modeling in Context Procedures Algebraic Relationships Algebraic Processes Applications Data Analysis/Probability Data Display & Analysis Predictions & Inferences Probability Representations Analysis & Applications Probability

Changes for CCR Math Standards Changes to be reflected future math assessments • CCR standards with focus on increasing rigor and learning expectations • CCR Standards changed grade level to reduce duplication, thus clarifying the level where mastery should occur • See TOS

Items for Field Testing 2017 Based on TOS 2018 (CCR-2015) Items are embedded Includes Technology Enhanced items (TE) Includes tools such as calculator, protractor, or graph construction. • Items not included in calculation of Ne. SA score for spring 2017. • Practice Tests will be available with TE and tools in December 2016 • •

Tech Enhanced Items - Math. Items Technology Enhanced • Available on practice tests, Dec. 12 th • Type of TE items include (computer scoreable) • Drag and Drop • Multiple Select • Equation Builder • Drop Down Menus

Why Technology Enhanced Items? • Improved measurement of high-level constructs (2015 Standards examples) – Standard MA 3. 2. 3. b – Write an equation to represent real-world problems involving whole numbers • Reduce effects of test-taking skills and random guessing • Provide richer diagnostic information • Reduce cognitive load for items • More engaging to students
