CAA Options Collection of Evidence: Mathematics

1
CAA Options Collection of Evidence Mathematics

• WERA Workshop
• December 2006

2
Mathematics

• Mathematics is a language and science of patterns
• Mathematical content (EALR 1) must be embedded in
  the mathematical processes (EALRs 2-5)
• For all students to learn significant
  mathematics, content must be taught and assessed
  in meaningful situations

3
Collection of Evidence

• The Collection of Evidence is designed for
  students who have the skills and knowledge
  assessed on the WASL to get their Certificate of
  Academic Achievement
• WASL is still the standard by which students
  skills and knowledge are assessed

4
Connection to the WASL

• 10th grade Mathematics WASL has 42 items
  distributed across the content and process
  strands
• Approximately 28 items scored for content
• Approximately 14 items scored for process
• Each item on the WASL is scored for one content
  target or process target
• Exception Making Connections within Mathematics
  can be scored for two content areas
• Approximately 95 of the items on the WASL are
  set in a context

5
Collection Guidelines

• The entire collection must contain work samples
  that demonstrate at least two (2) different
  targets from each content strand
• At least two (2) work samples must be produced in
  an on-demand setting
• Work samples must combine at least one entire
  content target and at least one entire process
  target
• 8 to 12 work samples

6
Two work samples for each strand

• Two work samples for each content strand
• This shows two (2) work samples for Number Sense
  and three (3) work samples for Probability and
  Statistics

7
On demand

• Covered in Introduction
• Student produces work completely on their own in
  a supervised classroom situation
• Allotted time period (time for student revision
  included in this time)
• Serves as an anchor for comparison with other
  student work samples

8
Content targets

• Number Sense Targets
• NS01 Number and numeration
• NS02 Ratio and Proportion (Required)
• NS04 Computation
• NS05 Estimation

9
Content targets

• Measurement Targets
• ME01 Attributes and Dimensions
• ME02 Units and Systems
• ME03 Procedures
• ME04 Estimated Measurements

10
Process Targets

• Solves Problems Targets
• SR01 Define Problems
• SR02 Construct Solutions
• SR05 Construct Solutions and Verify Results
  (Required)

11
Process Targets

• Reasons Logically Targets
• SR03 Analyze information
• SR04 Conclude
• SR05 Construct solutions and Verify Results
  (Required)

12
8 to 12 Work Samples ?

• Able to get 8 to 12 work samples by combining
  content and process
• Possible combinations include
• Ratio and Proportion WITH Problem Solving (NS02
  and SR02)
• Patterns and Functions WITH Organize, Represent,
  and Share Information (AS01 and CU02)

13
8 to 12 Work Samples !

• More Possible Combinations
• Measurement Procedures, Probability, WITH
  Connections within Mathematics(ME03, PS01, and
  MC01)
• Geometric Properties and Relationships WITH
  Conclusions(GS01 and SR04)
• CONTEXT is required to make these combinations
  come alive

14
Work Documentation Form

• Title of work sample
• At least one content and at least one process per
  work sample
• Content Target(s) and Process Target(s)
  identified
• At least two entries in each column and row
