Interim Assessment Design

1. List benchmarks/expectations for students to reflect mastery over the school year and determine when they will be assessed throughout the year and what percent of instructional focus each standard warrants.

Third Grade Sample

Standard Benchmark Description Interim 1 No. of Qs Interim 2 Interim 3 Interim 4 Total

STANDARD 3.1.2 Add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers; represent multiplication and division in various ways; solve real-world and mathematical problems using arithmetic.

3.1.2.1 Addition & Subtraction: Procedures

Add and subtract multi-digit numbers, using efficient and generalizable procedures based on knowledge of place value, including standard algorithms.

15

3.1.2.2 Real-World & Mathematical Problems

Use addition and subtraction to solve real-world and mathematical problems involving whole numbers. Use various strategies, including the relationship between addition and subtraction, the use of technology, and the context of the problem to assess the reasonableness of results. Represent multiplication facts by using a variety of approaches, such as repeated addition, equal-sized groups, arrays, area models, equal jumps on a number line and skip counting. Represent division facts by using a variety of approaches, such as repeated subtraction, equal sharing and forming equal groups. Recognize the relationship between multiplication and division. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving multiplication and division, including both "how many in each group" and "how many groups" division problems.

3.1.2.5 Multi-digit Multiplication Strategies

Use strategies and algorithms based on knowledge of place value, equality and properties of addition and multiplication to multiply a two- or three-digit number by a onedigit number. Strategies may include mental strategies, partial products, the standard algorithm, and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties.

2. Select skills students need to master within each skill and the questions to reflect these skills.
