Assessments

In 8th grade, students analyze, create and represent linear and simple non-linear functions in multiple ways to make connections between them, including mathematical concepts related to bivariate data and Pythagorean Theorem, and “real-world” situations like those arising from two & three dimensional space.

Essential Standard Claim 1 Proficiency Scales

Can be used to inform standard-based grading

The ALD thresholds in Target B are combined with two other targets found in future units.

Applicable Pre-assessments

If given prior, then you only need to view a portion of the results.

Formative and/or Summative Assessments,

Reengagement & Reassessment

Volume of Cylinders, Cones & Spheres (Focused IAB): Consider giving instead of chapter tests or quizzes.

Consider using Claim 2, 3 & 4 Embedded CFAs.

Volume of Cyliners , Cones & Spheres FIAB Reengagement Day: Do instead of a review day before the assessment.

Reengagement One Pager See document.

Need to Do a Class Review for your Next Big Summative Assessment? Instead of wasting time and boring students with a comprehensive review, provide those notes and try something different instead. Rather than reviewing first and then doing a practice test, consider giving the practice test first and then reengaging around the results for a more targeted and engaging review.

The Number System (Focused IAB): Consider giving instead of chapter tests or quizzes.

Consider using this assessment throughout instruction in an unstandardized administation - whole class, small group or select items individually.

The Number System FIAB Reengagement Day: Do instead of a review day before the assessment.

Guidelines for Creating your Own Assesment in Claim 1

8.EE.A.2 Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x^2 = p and x^3 = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that √2 is irrational.

8.NS.A.2 Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g., pi^2). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2 show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.

8.G.C.9 Know the formulas for the volumes of cones, cylinders, and spheres and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

8.G.B.7 Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real–world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.
