What Common Core Says - ELA
Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from text. (Common Core: Gr. 7)
What We Have - ELA

R7.A.1.3 Make inferences, draw conclusions, and make generalizations based on text.
R7.A.1.3.1 Make inferences and/or draw conclusions based on information from the text.

When It’s Revised - ELA
ASSESSMENT ANCHORR-07.A – L1.1 1Key Ideas and Details
R07.A.1.1 Demonstrate understanding of key ideas and details in literature.
EC: Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences, conclusions, and/or generalizations drawn from text.
What Common Core Says - Math
Instructional time at Grade 3 should focus on four critical areas: Developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100
Developing understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (fractions with numerator 1)
Developing understanding of the structure of rectangular arrays and of area
Describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes.
What Common Core Says - Math
Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. (Common Core: Grade 3)
What We Have
ASSESSMENT ANCHORM3.A.3 Compute accurately and fluently and make reasonable estimates.
M3.A.3.1 Solve problems using addition, subtraction and multiplication (straight computation and word problems).
M3.A.3.1.2 Solve problems involving multiplication through the 9’s tables through 9x5.
When It’s Revised - Math
ASSESSMENT ANCHORM03.B-O.1 Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
M03.B-O.1 .2Solve problems using multiplication and division, including determining the missing number in a multiplication and/or division equation.
EC: M03.B-O.1 .2.1 Use multiplication (up to and including 10 x 10) and division (limit dividends through 50, and limit divisors and quotients through 10) to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities

An Alternative Pathway to Proficiency
Chapter 4
Students who do not score proficient or above on a Keystone Exam after having taken the test at least twice may choose to complete a project based assessment for that module based upon the requirements as detailed below.
Chapter 4
If a student is unable to meet the requirements in § 4.24(b)(1)(iv)(A) (relating to high school graduation requirements) after two attempts on a Keystone Exam, the student may supplement a Keystone Exam score through satisfactory completion of a project-based assessment. Points earned through satisfactory performance on one or more project modules related to the Keystone Exam module or modules on which the student did not pass shall be added to the student’s highest Keystone Exam score.
Project Based Assessment Overview
Created by PA educators guided by Jay McTighe
Scaffolded tasks building to the creation and submission of a Project Based Assessment
Five to seven hour time frame for completion
Project work by student completed before, during, or after school in supervised environment
