• Engaging Students in Assignments that Matter

• Fostering a Classroom Environment that Supports Student Ownership of Learning

• Utilizing Questioning and Feedback

  for Deeper Understanding

• Adapting Teaching and Learning to Re-Engage Students

The following statement is associated with which principle? "Students and teachers using evidence of learning to adapt teaching and learning to meet immediate learning needs minute-to-minute and day by day".

• Standards for Mathematical Practice

• Five Strategies of Assessment for Learning

• The Big Idea of Assessment for Learning

• Productive Struggle

Name the PMP associated with the following statement: The teacher provides instruction, tasks and assessment items that present abstract, non-routine, real-world scenarios and promote a true balance of factual, procedural and conceptual knowledge.

• Engaging Students in Assignments that Matter

• Utilizing Questioning and Feedback

  for Deeper Understanding

• Using Formative Assessment Data

• Ensuring a Balanced Approach to Mathematics

Which of the following is NOT one of the Five Strategies of Assessment for Learning?

• Reflect on mistakes and misconceptions to improve mathematical understanding

• Engineer effective discussions, questions, and learning tasks that elicit evidence of learning

• Provide feedback that moves learners forward

• Activate students as instructional resources for one another

For which Standard of Mathematical Practice (SMP) is this an example? Ricky is working on addition strategies. He looks at 8 + 7 and decides to use the context of his toy cars to think about the problem. He recognizes that 8 cars is 5 cars and 3 more and 7 cars is 5 cars and 2 more. He pictures the cars lined up in fives and solves the problem by adding 5 + 5 + 5.

• Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them

• Reason abstractly and quantitatively

• Model with mathematics

• Look for and make use of structure

Which PMP is associated with the following student behavior? Embrace productive struggle and persevere in completing challenging assignments that require reasoning and problem solving.

• Fostering a Classroom Environment that Supports Student Ownership of Learning

• Utilizing Questioning and Feedback

  for Deeper Understanding

• Engaging Students in Assignments that Matter

• Ensuring a Balanced Approach to Mathematics
