How do you use math in your daily life?How do you use math in your daily life?
• How have you used math today?
• How did you use math this week? • At home? • At work? • In your daily activities?
How have you used technology today? This week?
NCTM Focus in Mathematics: NCTM Focus in Mathematics: Reasoning & Sense MakingReasoning & Sense Making
• Many students have difficulty because they find mathematics meaningless…
• Should occur in every mathematics classroom every day.
NCTM 2009, pp. 5-6
Reasoning Habits of Mind“Attention to reasoning habits needs to be integrated within the
curriculum to ensure that students both understand and can use what they are taught”
• Analyzing a problem
• Seeking and using connections
• Implementing a strategy
• Reflecting on a solution
NCTM 2009, p.9
Common Core State StandardsCommon Core State Standards
Define what students should understand and be able to do in their study of mathematics.
–Standards for Mathematical Practices
–Standards for Mathematical Content
CCSSM (page 12)
CCSS Mathematical Practices*
• Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.• Reason abstractly and quantitatively.• Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning
of others.• Model with mathematics.• Use appropriate (technology) tools strategically.• Attend to precision.• Look for and make use of structure.• Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
*Common Core Standards 2010

Overview of Mathematics Task Types
PARCC mathematics assessments will include three types of tasks.
8
Task Type Description of Task Type
I. Tasks assessing concepts, skills and procedures
• Balance of conceptual understanding, fluency, and application• Can involve any or all mathematical practice standards• Machine scorable including innovative, computer-based formats• Will appear on the End of Year and Performance Based Assessment
components
II. Tasks assessing expressing mathematical reasoning
• Each task calls for written arguments / justifications, critique of reasoning, or precision in mathematical statements (MP.3, 6).
• Can involve other mathematical practice standards• May include a mix of machine scored and hand scored responses• Included on the Performance Based Assessment component
III. Tasks assessing modeling / applications
• Each task calls for modeling/application in a real-world context or scenario (MP.4)
• Can involve other mathematical practice standards.• May include a mix of machine scored and hand scored responses• Included on the Performance Based Assessment component

End-of-Year Assessment
•Innovative, computer-based items•Required
Performance-BasedAssessment (PBA)
•Extended tasks•Applications of concepts and skills•Required
Diagnostic Assessment•Early indicator of student knowledge and skills to inform instruction, supports, and PD•Non-summative
2 Optional Assessments/Flexible Administration
Mid-Year Assessment•Performance-based•Emphasis on hard-to-measure standards•Potentially summative

Speaking And Listening Assessment•Locally scored•Non-summative, required
What is a Performance Task?
• A performance task is a goal-directed assessment exercise.
• It consists of an activity or assignment that is completed by the student and then judged by the teacher or other evaluator on the basis of specific performance criteria.
