Then she asks, “ Which rule was used to

sort these shapes into groups?”

A) Large things and small thingsB) Triangles and squaresC) Circles and figures with 4 sidesD) Triangles and figures with 4 sides

Goal 4: Data Analysis and Probability (12-15%)

• Circle graphs and tables• Permutations• ProbabilityExample:

Goal 5: Algebra (20-25%)

• Number patterns• Shape patterns• Skip counting to extend pattern• Value of an unknown

Example: What is the value of the unknown in the number sentence ___ x 3 = 12?

Goal 5: Algebra

What shape will be in the fifth space?

What can you do at home?

• “Do math” with your child at home as problem –solving partners. Use word problems.

• Newspapers – graphs and charts• Weather reports – charts, graphs, data, and

statistics• Sporting events – data and statistics• Grocery store – measurement and estimation• Recipes – measurement• Road trips – distance, time, mileage problems• By “doing math” together, you will demonstrate

that learning mathematics is fun.

Reading Selection Types

• Literary Selections (fiction, non-fiction, and poetry)

• Informational Selections (content, consumer)• A variety of selections allows for assessment of

reading for various purposes:To experience literatureTo gain informationTo perform tasksTo apply critical analysis and evaluation

What is on the Reading EOG’s?

• 8 selections ( 58questions)• Four types of items

– Cognition– Interpretation– Critical Stance– Connections

What is on the reading EOG’s?

• Reading and knowledge of vocabulary • Literary and informational texts

– Literary texts: fiction, poetry, and literary non-fiction such as biographies, letters, journals, and essays.

– Informational texts: content areas (art, science, math, social studies, etc.) and consumer selections ( pamphlets, reviews, recipes, how – to, etc)

EOG Goals and Percentages for Reading

• Cognition (initial understanding)38%– Purpose– Main idea– Supporting details– Summarizing main points– Vocabulary in context (context clues)– Point of view

Cognition

• What is the main idea of the selection?• Based on the context of paragraph 3, what

does XXX mean? (vocabulary in context)• What is the purpose of the first

subheading in the selection?• Which characteristic best describes Joe?

(Answer is clearly stated in the selection)

EOG Goals and Percentages for Reading

• Interpretation (digging deeper)37%– Clarifying– Identifying the tone/mood– Making inferences– Drawing conclusions– Making generalizations

Interpretation

• What is the significance of Joe’s decision to buy the bicycle?

• What is the tone/mood of the selection?• Based on the selection, what will most

likely happen next?• Which characteristic best describes Joe?

(answer is not clearly stated in the selection)

EOG Goals and Percentages for Reading

• Critical Stance 19%– Compare/contrast within text– Fact and opinion– Determining the impact of literary

terms– Complete analogies in a text

Critical Stance

• How is X different from Y?• How does Joe change from the beginning to

the end of the selection?• What is the effect of beginning the selection

with ____________?• What is ironic about X?• The author wrote XYZ in capital letters to

emphasize which quality?• What effect is created by the author’s

repetition of the words XYZ?

EOG Goals and Percentages for Reading

• Connections (going beyond the text) 6%– Compare/contrast between selections

and outside of the selection– Connecting elements in the text and

information outside of the text

Connections (going beyond the text)

• Which experience is most similar to Joe’s experience in the selection?

• How would this experience help Joe the next time he buys a bicycle?

• People who play this game are most likely to have which of the following characteristics?

How can I help at home?

• Establish time for your child to read• Provide your child with a variety of suitable reading

materials• Take time to discuss interesting books you and your

child have read• Model reading by reading a variety of materials• Discuss the purpose of different text types such as

fiction, letter, newspapers, etc• Ensure that your child reads independently each day at

a comfortable reading level. ( Reading materials should not be too hard or too easy in terms of subject and content.)
