Mathematics Problem Solving Benchmarking: Data Analysis Administration Guide
Benchmarking Assessments are modified performance tools used to provide data on selected skill areas. Data Analysis is a mathematics skills assessment to gain baseline data on mathematics skills.
Suggested Administration: Quarterly or two times a year
Mathematics Benchmarking assessments provide baseline information on areas of math that are fundamental to the application of math skills in real-world situations.
Scoring: Each performance assessment yields a raw score and interpretative information.
• Mastery • Instructional • Emerging • Review and revise goals
Directions for Administration: • The Data Analysis Assessment is a mathematics skills assessment. Questions are presented in groups of three, including three types of charts for analysis.
• Present the question and three options for each question. A student may select his or her response verbally, by pointing or some may be able to use the mouse to select a picture. The online assessment will automatically move to the next question/option. • Nine questions are included. Each question has an option to remove one item if an incorrect response is made on the first presentation. With just two options remaining, the initial question
is repeated. • Response options may be presented verbally since this would not alter the intent of the assessment. • Each question may score 2, 1 or 0. • For some students, the online version may not be a reliable way to present picture/word choices. A hardcopy of the picture may be needed. If an incorrect response is selected on the first
presentation, cover the selected item and repeat the question. Additionally, pictures may be cut apart and presented on a communication board format. • The assessment will discontinue after four consecutive errors. Using Assessment Results: Mathematics Performance Assessments are scored according to the student’s response when selecting from a choice of pictures or letters. Each area yields a raw score that is interpreted in this way:
• 18 – 15 Mastery Mastery indicates that the student should apply the current skills into higher-level math strategies. • 14 – 10 Instructional Incorporate routine skill instruction to strengthen this math skill area. • 9 – 6 Emerging Emerging math skills in this skill area may be developed through structured learning tasks. • 5 – 0 Review/Revise Review the student’s present level and revise goals to more appropriately address learning potential.
Results from this assessment will give teachers an indication if measurement is a skill that should be addressed within instructional tasks.
