I downloaded 3 assessment resources to share with my 3rd grade PLC and to ultimately use with our 3rd grade students. First, Wild Turkeys serves as a performance task to assess several target standards. Use of performance tasks is a PLC assessment goal. This performance task addresses four standards for mathematical practice as well as multi step problem solving, which is a difficult yet important target for our focus group. Next, RISE Strategy serves as a formative assessment strategy to build strong math practices. The RISE Strategy can be integrated in all mathematical problem solving and is a supportive tool for our ELL population. Lastly, 3.0A Mini-Assessment - Foundations of Multiplication & Division serves as a mini-assessment of a key 3rd grade standard for use in the classroom or professional development. Teachers can evaluate students' understanding of 3.0A addressed early in the learning in order to prepare to teach, check for understanding, or monitor progress. This Mini-Assessment also assists teachers in gaining knowledge about assessing some of the conceptual understanding, procedural skills, fluencies, and applications of multiplication and division. All three of these assessments will surely provide much needed support and resource to my team.
