What Do They Know? How to Make the Best of Data from the GLoSS and IKAN – Resources - The presentation “What Do They Know? How to Make the Best of Data from the GLoSS and IKAN” references several resources. Many of these resources are provided in this folder.
What Do They Know? How to Make the Best of Data from the GLoSS and IKAN - The GloSS assessment enables you to identify the strategy stage students are operating at across all three strategy domains, known as the global strategy stage. It consists of a series of strategy questions that can be administered to individual students in a few minutes. The IKAN assessment identifies the knowledge stages students are operating at across all five knowledge domains, known as the global knowledge stage. The IKAN interview is for students at the counting stages of the number framework. This presentation provides information on these assessments and how the data from them can be used to make student-specific instructional decisions.

Making Sense Series: The Progression of Multiplication and the Standard Traditional Algorithm - Graham Fletcher presents a video lasting less than 6 minutes in which he explains the progression of multiplication beginning with second grade work with arrays through the development of the standard algorithm in fifth grade using a concrete-representational-abstract approach as indicated in the GSE standards.
Making Sense Series: The Progression of Division and the Standard Traditional Algorithm (aka: Long Division) - Graham Fletcher discusses and illustrates how students develop a conceptual understanding of division through the GSE mathematics standards from third grade to sixth grade. A concrete-representational-abstract approach, as indicated in the standards, is demonstrated in this short (7:49 minutes) video.
Making Sense Series: The Progression of Addition and Subtraction - The progression of addition and subtraction as defined in the GSE mathematics standards is illustrated in this short (7:20 minutes) video by Graham Fletcher. A concrete-representational-abstract approach, as indicated in the standards, is demonstrated.

K-12 Mathematics Formative Assessment Lesson Overview - Formative Assessment Lessons (FALs) are classroom-ready lessons that support formation assessment. This presentation provides information about the two types of FALs: concept development lessons and problem solving lessons. It references resources for implementing the lessons.
Implementing a Frameworks Task: Fifth Grade Unit 1, The Grass Is Always Greener Planning Session and Task (Sandy Lippe, Forsyth County) - This video shows a teacher and students implementing a task from the Georgia Mathematics Frameworks. It is best viewed while keeping in mind the Standards for Mathematical Practice, and it may be used to spark discussions with colleagues about the different ways to implement tasks. Teachers are encourage to think about what they notice, what they wonder what they might decide to add to their teaching, and what they might change about their teaching as they watch and reflect on the video.
Implementing a Frameworks Task: Fifth Grade Unit 1, The Grass Is Always Greener Planning Session and Task (Denise Brinslid and Cathy Robinson, Atlanta Public Schools) - This video shows teachers planning for using a task from the Georgia Mathematics Frameworks with students and the implementation of the task. It is best viewed while keeping in mind the Standards for Mathematical Practice, and it may be used to spark discussions with colleagues about the different ways to implement tasks. Teachers are encourage to think about what they notice, what they wonder what they might decide to add to their teaching, and what they might change about their teaching as they watch and reflect on the video.
Implementing a Frameworks Task: Fifth Grade Unit 1, Patterns R Us - This video shows a teacher and students implementing a task from the Georgia Mathematics Frameworks. It is best viewed while keeping in mind the Standards for Mathematical Practice, and it may be used to spark discussions with colleagues about the different ways to implement tasks. Teachers are encourage to think about what they notice, what they wonder what they might decide to add to their teaching, and what they might change about their teaching as they watch and reflect on the video.

GSE Fifth Grade Mathematics Curriculum Overview - This document contains the state's curriculum map, unpacked standards, and information on mindset and mathematics, vertical understanding of the mathematics learning trajectory, research of interest to teachers, GloSS and IKAN, fluency, arc of lesson/math instructional framework, unpacking a task, routines and rituals, general questions for teacher use, questions for teacher reflection, depth of knowledge, depth and rigor statement, grades 3-5 problem solving rubric, literature resources, and technology links.
GSE Effective Practices Guide for Mathematics - Three Act Tasks, formative instructional practices, and Number Talks are described. Information on why and why these structures are useful and what students can learn from experiencing them are provided. Resources for each structure are given or linked within the document.
Georgia Milestones Grade 5 Study/Resource Guide for Students and Parents - The Georgia Milestones Grade 5 Study/Resource Guide for Students and Parents is intended as a resource for parents and students. It contains sample questions and helpful activities to provide an idea of what test questions look like on Georgia Milestones and what the Grade 5 End-of-Grade (EOG) assessment covers. These sample questions are fully explained and tells why each answer is either correct or incorrect.
Georgia Milestones Grade 5 EOG Test Blueprints - These test blueprints are designed to communicate the structure of the Georgia Milestones measures, and are not intended to be used for instructional planning purposes. The blueprints outline the types of items students will encounter on each content area/course test, as well as the number of items and number of points possible (for those tests which include constructed-response items).
Georgia Milestones Grade 5 EOG Assessment Guide - The Georgia Milestones Grade 5 EOG Assessment Guide is provided to acquaint Georgia educators and other stakeholders with the structure and content assessed by the tests. Importantly, this guide is not intended to inform instructional planning. It is essential to note that there are a small number of content standards that are better suited for classroom or individual assessment rather than large-scale summative assessment. While those standards are not included on the tests, and therefore are not included in this Assessment Guide, the knowledge, concepts, and skills inherent in those standards are often required for the mastery of the standards that are assessed. Failure to attend to all content standards within a content area can limit a student’s opportunity to learn and show what he or she knows and can do on the assessments.
Georgia Milestones EOG Content Weights - Grade-level charts provide the approximate weights for domains on each Georgia Milestones Assessment in grade 5. Each Georgia Milestones Assessment is aligned to the state-adopted content standards.
