Elementary Math: Kindergarten
Problem Solving

NAME: Samantha Twigg

SCHOOL: Featherbed Lane Elementary
_______________________________________________________________
Statement of Outcome: Increase students abilities to solve complex problems.

Rationale:

Students in Kindergarten are required to represent and solve a variety of story problem situations.
This includes being able to understand the operation(s) used to solve the problem and to represent
the problem in multiple ways by acting it out, with objects and representing the problem through
illustration. (K.OA.2) These mathematical concepts build a foundation for algebraic thinking.


Students:

All of the Kindergarten students.

Interval of Instruction: (Typically one school year unless there is a compelling reason for a shorter interval)

Students will work with story problem situations throughout the year. Story problems are included
in these units:
Unit 2: Snacks (Investigations in Number, Data, and Space, Unit 1: Counting and Comparing)

Unit 4: Apples (Investigations in Number, Data, and Space, Unit 3: Measuring and Counting

Unit 6: How Many Grapes?, How Many Balls?, How Many Blocks?, Lots of Snacks (Investigations in
Number, Data, and Space, Unit 6: How Many Do you Have?)

Possible Tasks from: Investigations Student Activity Book
Baseline Assessment Progress Monitoring Task Final Task
Investigations Unit 2 Assessment:
Snacks.

Investigation Unit 4: Apples;
Investigations Unit 6: How Many
Grapes?, How Many Balls?, How
Many Blocks?, Lots of Snacks
Investigations Unit 2 Assessment:
Snacks.




Target(s) & Evidence:
80% of students in Kindergarten will score 3 points or more on the teacher created scoring rubric
in order demonstrate their ability to use problem solving strategies to independently solve word
problems as measured using two identified skills from the BCPS Assessment Checklist: Solving
Story Problems. The identified skills are: What tools and strategies do students use to solve the
problem? Can students explain and record their thinking?

Assessment Checklist: Solving Story Problems which is found on the Office of Mathematics intranet
site. Teacher create rubric with scores ranging from 0-4.

Rationale for Target:
The target is chosen to align with the principals SLO. It is rigorous because it requires students to
represent, solve, and explain their mathematical thinking in order to solve the story problem.

Administration & Scoring: (How will assessments be administered? How will assessments be scored?)

The story problems will be administered during math workshop in a small group. Each
story problem will be reviewed and analyzed as a grade level through the use of a scoring
rubric. The scoring rubric will target the following skills from the BCPS Assessment Checklist:
Solving Story Problems: What tools and strategies do students use to solve the problem? Can
students explain and record their thinking?
Approval of Outcome:
Priority of Content Acceptable Unacceptable
Rigor of Target Acceptable Unacceptable
Quality of Evidence Acceptable Unacceptable
