Understanding Growth in i-Ready:

Typical Growth and Stretch Growth measures are provided for each student based on their placement on the first Diagnostic assessment of the year.

Typical Growth is the average annual growth for students at this grade and placement level.

Stretch Growth for below-grade level students is an ambitious but attainable level of annual growth that puts below-grade level students on a path toward proficiency. Stretch Growth for on- or above-grade level students is an ambitious but attainable level of annual growth that puts on-grade level students on a path to achieve/maintain advanced proficiency levels.

For more information, visit i-ReadyCentral.com/GrowthGoals.

• Grade 3 Lesson 9: Unfamiliar Words Lesson 12: Words in Context

— Build understanding of how to connect text and visuals.Explain that readers get information from words in a text as well as from pictures, photographs, maps, and other types of illustrations.• Using a Grade-Level 3 informational text containing plenty of visuals, model thinking about how the visuals support the text and sometimes give additional information that does not appear in the text.• Prompt Danielle to connect the text and visuals. Ask questions such as, “What do you see in the illustration that matches what we just read about? What details in this illustration tell you more about what we just read?”

• Grade 3 Lesson 17: Connecting Words and Pictures in Informational Text Lesson 21: Connecting Words and Pictures in Stories

— Extend understanding of cause and effect. • Define effect as something that happens. Define cause as something that makes something else happen. • Read aloud a Grade-Level 3 informational book and model the thought process behind discovering cause-and-effect relationships. • Say, “When I read, I think about things that happen and why those things happen.” • Model asking and answering questions such as, “What happened?” and “Why did it happen?” • Then have Danielle read an informational text in a small group. Remind the child to ask these same questions and to look for details in the text to find answers.

Grade 3Lesson 1: Asking Questions about Key IdeasLesson 4: Describing Cause and EffectLesson 5: Asking Questions about Stories

— Develop understanding of using evidence to support inferences in Grade-Level 3 text. • Explain that readers must use evidence from a text to support inferences about the text. Evidence can include words or phrases from the text, details from pictures and illustrations, and one's own prior knowledge and experience. • Point out that readers often revise inferences as they read and gather more information. They consider new details and ask themselves, “Does my previous inference still make sense with what I know now?”

Page 3: report cheat sheet Diagnostic Results (Student) · Understanding Growth in i-Ready: Typical Growth and Stretch Growth measures are provided for each student based on their placement

Understanding i-Ready Report Terminology:

Placement: Placement is determined based on specific scale score ranges for each grade. When a student’s placement is within his or her chronological grade level, you will see an Early, Mid, or Late placement. For students whose placements are above or below grade level, you will see which grade level they placed into.

Overall Placement:

A big picture view of the class’s overall performance and how many students are below, on, or above grade level.

Grade-level placement on this Diagnostic assessment.

Placement by Domain:

A visual representation of performance in each domain across the class.

Grade-level placement for each Mathematics domain on this Diagnostic assessment.

Scale Score: Overall Scale Score on this Diagnostic assessment.

Dropdown Menu: Contains options to display student information:

• Growth Measures: Suggested growth measures for each student based on their placement on the first Diagnostic assessment of the year.

– Typical Growth: the average annual growth for a student at his or her grade and placement level.

– Stretch Growth: an ambitious, but attainable, level of annual growth that puts below-grade level students on a path to proficiency (i.e., attaining mid on-grade level placement), and on-grade level students on a path to advanced proficiency levels (i.e., achieving or maintaining late on-grade level placement or higher).

• Quantile® Measure and Range: The Quantile Framework for Mathematics uses one scale to measure students’ mathematics ability and identify resources for mathematics instruction. Quantiles help you identify targeted lessons and supplemental mathematics materials based on each student’s ability. A student’s Quantile measure is his or her mathematics ability score. The Quantile range indicates the range of mathematics materials that will be easy to more challenging for the student. In i-Ready, students’ Mathematics Diagnostic scores are used to approximate Quantile measures and ranges.

• National Norms: Specify the student’s position relative to a group of nationally representative i-Ready students who are in the same grade and who took the tests at the same time of year as the student. For example, if a student’s percentile rank is 90%, this means the student scored better than or equal to 90% of his or her peers.

Rush Flags ( ): You may see symbols like this when reviewing a student’s performance on the most recent test. This indicates that the student may have rushed through the test. If you see either of these alert icons and the student’s test results seem abnormal, you may want to readminister the test.

report cheat sheet Instructional Groupings

Students in this grouping are having difficulty with skills and concepts related to quantitative reasoning. They may struggle with skills and concepts related to fractions and whole-number operations, or they may struggle with algebraic concepts related to factors and multiples, or both. Those students with a low score in Number and Operations are probably most challenged by fractions. They will need to focus on foundational fraction concepts in order to understand that a fraction is one number that represents a quantity, not just "one number over another number." They will need practice with how to compare fractions with different denominators or how to express fractions as equivalent fractions or decimals. Those students with a low score in Algebra and Algebraic Thinking probably lack a sound understanding of the relationship between factors and multiples, and may be held back by lack of fluency with multiplication and division facts. They will particularly benefit from instruction on the concepts and skills described below in the section Algebraic Thinking. In addition to daily practice to develop fluency with basic multiplication and division facts, all students in this profile are also likely to need reinforcement of essential vocabulary.

Operations

• Add and subtract multi-digit numbers.

• Multiply three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.

• Divide three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.

Students who struggle with operations involving regrouping in any of the four operations often lack the conceptual understanding that drives the algorithms. These students may benefit from working with concrete or visual models, or alternative algorithms, in order to focus on the place value concepts behind the process. Once students understand why the process works, they can be guided to see the relationship between the models and algorithms, and eventually use a more efficient algorithm alone.

Number–Fractions

• Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with like denominators.

• Compare fractions with unlike denominators.

• Write equivalent fractions, including fractions in simplest terms.

• Write fractions with denominators of 10 or 100 as decimals.

• Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators.

Use models to reinforce at every opportunity what fraction notation represents. Be consistent about reading fraction names appropriately (two-thirds rather than two over three) to help students strengthen their understanding that, for example, two-thirds means two copies of one third. Use a variety of manipulatives to assist students in exploring fractions including hundred grids, fraction strips, counters, and number lines. Provide frequent practice adding like fractions, comparing unlike fractions, and finding equivalent fractions on number lines as well as with area models and set models.

Algebraic Thinking

• Identify factor pairs for numbers to 100.

• Identify multiples of whole numbers with products to 100.

• Identify number patterns.

Identifying factors and multiples plays a role in dividing multi-digit numbers, finding a common factor to simplify fractions, and finding a common multiple to add or subtract unlike fractions. The ability to identify factors and multiples also provides a foundation for factoring algebraic expressions in later years. Give students ample opportunity to determine the factor pairs for a given number in various situations, such as finding the side lengths of all rectangles with a given area. Recognize that students often confuse the terms factor and multiple with each other; encourage students to use their own best strategies for learning the difference.

Fluency

• Know multiplication and division fact families through 100.

The students in this group may have difficulty recalling basic multiplication facts. Discuss with them strategies for remembering facts, or recalling facts based on other known facts. Give students smaller goals for remembering facts, starting first with 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s, then moving on to the more difficult-to-recall facts. Remind students that once they know one fact in a family, they can use that fact to recall the other facts in the family. Provide daily practice as necessary. Have each student keep a personal record of which facts they know and which they still need to learn.

Essential Vocabulary

• Mathematics terms related to essential concepts at this level include fraction, numerator, denominator, equivalent, factor, multiple, product, quotient, dividend, and divisor.

Fluency with select mathematics vocabulary terms enables students to understand instruction, follow directions, process and discuss mathematical ideas, and work more confidently. Help students build essential mathematics vocabulary, especially by encouraging them to use the words in discussions.

Number and Operations I Level 4 I Divide by One-Digit Numbers I Page 1 of 2

Divide by One-Digit NumbersObjective Divide three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.

for long division has often been taught to students through rote practice until mastery. To prepare students to understand the division algorithm, this activity provides three methods of modeling and computing quotients by building on place-value understanding and the relationships of division to multiplication and subtraction. Students should gain an understanding of what division is as a mathematical operation, which will help them to make sense of fraction concepts, and to identify applications of division in real-world scenarios.

Three Ways to Teach

Use Repeated Subtraction to Divide 15–20 minutes

Write “144 4 4” on the board. Have the student estimate the quotient. (between 30 and 40) Explain that the goal is to separate 144 into groups of 4. Help the student choose a multiple of 4 that is easy to subtract, such as 40. Explain that it would take too long to subtract 4 over and over, and that subtracting 40 is the same as subtracting 4 ten times. Have the student perform repeated subtraction by 40, keeping track of steps as shown. When

4s are left and how many 4s were subtracted in all. (36) Compare the quotient to the estimate and use multiplication to check.

1442 40 (4 3 10)

1042 40 (4 3 10)

642 40 (4 3 10)

24 (4 3 6)

10 1 10 1 10 1 6 5 36144 4 4 5 36

Use an Area Model to Divide 15–20 minutes

Use the same problem, 144 4 4. Draw a rectangle on the board. First, label the top, side, and area as shown. Ask the student to identify a multiple of 4 that can be multiplied by 10 to get close to 140, such as (4 3 3) 3 10, or 120. Walk the student through the steps for completing the labeling, adding the numbers and symbols as you go. Ask the student to identify the number that is multiplied by 4 to get an area of 24. Replace the ? with 6. Then remind the student that the total length of the rectangle can be found by adding the two segments together: 30 1 6 5 36, which represents what is multiplied by 4 to get 144.

VOCABULARYUse read-alouds. Using read-alouds, even with intermediate students, is a highly effective approach to increasing students’ vocabulary. Use a variety of approaches to teach the meanings of words during reading, including thinking aloud about how you can deduce the meaning of an unfamiliar word. Target words from the read-aloud to use in other contexts throughout the day.Teach high-utility academic language. Focus on critical-thinking words used across a range of academic contexts.

• Teach multipurpose words such as achieve, aspects, complex, conclusion, distinction, elements, features, focus, impact, perceived, potential, previous, primary, range, relevant, and transfer.

• Remember that in order to learn a new word, students need to read, hear, and use the word multiple times in different contexts.• Encourage students to play with these words and connect them to everyday life. Ask questions such as “What is the simplest way to tell

someone how to get from the main entrance to our classroom?” “The most complex way?”Teach meaningful word parts. Students can greatly expand their vocabulary by learning how prefixes and suffixes change the meaning of base words and root words.

• Teach or review the meanings of these prefixes: in-, dis-, mis-, non-, uni-, bi-, tri-, over-, de-, trans-, super-, ex-, sub-, en-, and em-.• Teach or review the meanings of these suffixes: -y, -ly, -ily, -er, -est, -ness, -er/-or, -ion/-tion/-ation/-ition, -ist, and -ment.• Provide instruction and practice in base words and Greek and Latin root words.

Support for English Learners. Teach and reinforce all content-specific vocabulary as lessons take place. Discuss the concepts named by each word. Use age-appropriate visual supports to reinforce understanding. Be aware that general academic vocabulary (such as while, therefore, and since) is often more abstract and also requires direct instruction.

COMPREHENSIONTeach a variety of strategies. Teach research-based comprehension strategies such as activating prior knowledge, predicting, questioning, monitoring and clarifying, drawing inferences, and summarizing.

• In advance of the lesson, select accessible texts at students’ instructional levels• Provide explicit instruction and think-alouds to model each of the strategies. Guide students as they start to practice the strategy.• Follow a process of “gradual release of responsibility.” Provide the most support when a strategy is first taught and modeled, and then

decrease your involvement as students develop greater independence.• Discuss texts with students. Discussing shared experiences with texts is foundational to the development of strategies that students can apply

while reading independently.Teach text structure. Authors make a variety of decisions about how to structure their texts. Learning to recognize these structures helps students understand and remember what they read.

• Provide explicit instruction and practice in recognizing narrative structures, including setting, characters, plot, problem and resolution, and theme.• Provide explicit instruction and practice in recognizing informational text structures, including description, sequence, problem and solution,

cause and effect, and compare and contrast.• Have students use graphic organizers as a tool for preparing to talk or write about texts. Emphasize that completing a graphic organizer is a

means to understanding text and not an end in itself.Foster students’ motivation to read. Gains in reading development are directly linked to how much reading students do. Therefore, it is crucial to systematically foster students´ motivation to read. Keep the momentum going by continuing to scaffold support at the level students need. Help students understand the payoffs of improved reading in terms of how it relates to their own lives.Support for English Learners. Limited relevant background knowledge is often a significant obstacle to comprehension for English learners. Therefore, focus on making content accessible. Build needed background knowledge and provide access to related texts at varying levels of difficulty. Use visuals to illustrate important concepts.

Tips:

• Use the Instructional Groupings report to create instructional groupings in your classroom and as a way to monitor progress.

• This is a guideline to start your flexible groups with your students. As your students respond to instruction, you will most likely group and regroup. When you administer another Diagnostic, this report will update to reflect the most recent results.
