Process Standards“Students must learn mathematics with
understanding, actively building new knowledge from experience and prior knowledge.” NCTM, 2000
Five Goals for Students:Students will:◦become mathematical problem solvers who
◦communicate mathematically; ◦reason mathematically;◦make mathematical connections; and◦use mathematical representations to model and interpret practical situations.

Directions for Today’s Activity
Review the mini-packet you have received with the members of your group. Pay close attention to the language of the correlated 2009 Standard.
Compare and contrast the newly released sample test items with the old released test items.
Compare and contrast the development of the items vertically across grades 3, 4, and 5.
Use the questions at your table to help guide your discussion.
Be prepared to share something your group discussed with the whole group.
