Assignment 2 – Assessment Plan

Performance “Let’s Go on a Trip!”

Task Title
Grade 6th
Designer Richard Wilford
Performance Students will create a power point presentation, prezi, or poster where they
Task showcase a trip that they planned and went to. This is a summative
Annotation assessment that reviews the last two units of study that the students
learned.
Subject Math
Approximate 3 days
Duration
Focus • Unit 1: Number System Fluency - Compute fluently with multi-digit
Standards numbers and find common factors and multiples. MGSE6.NS.2
Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
MGSE6.NS.3 Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit
decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
• Unit 2: Rate, Ratio, and Proportional Reasoning - Understand ratio
concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems. MGSE6.RP.1
Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to
describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example,
“The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1,
because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote
candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
MGSE6.RP.2 Understand the concept of a unit rate a / b associated
with a ratio a: b with b ≠ 0 (b not equal to zero) and use rate
language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, "This
recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4
cup of flour for each cup of sugar." "We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers,
which is a rate of $5 per hamburger."
• Unit 2: Rate, Ratio, and Proportional Reasoning - MGSE6.RP.3b Solve
unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and
constant speed. For example, if it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then
at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what
rate were lawns being mowed? MGSE6.RP.3c Find a percent of a
quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g. 30% of a quantity means 30/100
times the quantity); given a percent, solve problems involving
finding the whole given a part and the part given the whole.
National • 2. Communication and Collaboration –
Standards • Students use digital media and environments to
communicate and work collaboratively, including at a
distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the
learning of others.
• a. Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers,
experts, or others employing a variety of digital
environments and media
• b. Communicate information and ideas effectively to
multiple audiences using a variety of media and
formats
• d. Contribute to project teams to produce original
works or solve problems
• 3. Research and Information Fluency –
• Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use
information.
• b. Locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and
ethically use information from a variety of sources
and media
• c. Evaluate and select information sources and digital
tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks
• d. Process data and report results
• 4. Critical Thinking, Problem solving, and Decision Making
• Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct
research, manage projects, solve problems, and make
informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and
resources.
• b. Plan and manage activities to develop a solution or
complete a project
• c. Collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make
informed decisions
• d. Use multiple processes and diverse perspectives to
explore alternative solutions
Description The teacher will begin the lesson by letting the students know that they will
and Teacher take what they have learned in math so far and apply it to the real world.
Directions The teacher will tell the students to pretend that they just won $500 and
are going on a trip. They will have to choose a place to go, figure out how to
get there, figure out where they will sleep while they are there, etc.

• First – select from one of the following cities: Orlando, Myrtle

Beach, New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Las
Vegas, Atlanta.
• Second – research the city that you selected (www.diigo.com) Make
sure that you highlight or use the sticky note feature so that things
 stand out for you.
• Third – find a way there. You can check www.expedia.com for
flights, www.enterprise.com for rental cars, www.megabus.com for
the bus, or www.Amtrak.com for the train.
• Fourth – find some fun activities to do while there. You can use diigo
or you can use a search engine to find some fun activities to do in
your city.
** Remember: you have to budget your money, so don’t run out. Think
about the sales tax that you have to pay. Try to find the best bang for your
buck! Also, don’t have too much fun because you must come back home!

• Find a partner (or people)that you will work with. No more than 4 in
a group.
• Pick a place that you and that person (or people, no more than 4 in
a group) will go.
• Research that place to figure out all the cool things that you can do
while there. (www.diigo.com will help you with your research.)
• Find a place to stay while you are there (some may want a suite,
some may want a hotel)
• Find a way to get there (airplane, rental car, bus, train, etc.)
• Find activities to do while there (Disney World, shopping, beaches,
Times Square, etc.)
• Create a power point presentation, prezi presentation, or create a
poster to share with the class about your experience.
• ** Remember: you only have $500 (a piece) and you can’t
overspend! You also must get back home! Look for deals and find
the best ones! **
• You will have 2 coupons that you can use: one will be a 10%
discount on your rooming expense, and the other will be a 5%
discount on your travel arrangement.
• You must calculate all your spending on your “expense” sheet. Make
sure that you deduct your coupons and add your taxes (6% for
everything that you purchase.) You will be graded on the accuracy of
adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing your money.
Title of Rubric Let’s Take a Trip - Rubric
Rubric This rubric will allow students to guide the formation of their project, and
Description self-correct if they are missing items. The rubric lets them know what needs
to be included. They will be graded and will receive feedback on the rubric.

Tool

Materials and Laptop with access to Wi-Fi. Students will need to use either PowerPoint,
Equipment Prezi, or they can create a poster. Students may need access to Microsoft
Word. (Some students may want to create a poster with information and
required elements instead of a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation.)

This
Performance
Task?
Differentiated Student choice of which city they want to go to, who they want to go with,
Instruction as well as which activities they would do while they are there, travel
arrangements, and lodging accommodations. In addition, students were
able to pick groups, and all IEP and 504 accommodations were met.
Teacher will walk around to assist as needed.

Setting: This project will take place in a 6th grade math classroom at Durham Middle
School. Durham Middle School is part of the Cobb County School District
and is about 20 miles north of Atlanta. Student laptops will also be in the
classroom as the teacher has requested to use the laptops for this project.
Desks are in rows, but they will be pushed together in groups (once
students form their groups.)
Learners: There are 28 students in the classroom ages 11 and 12. They are all 6 th
graders. 61% of the students are Caucasian, 25% of the students are African
American, 7% of the students are Hispanic, and 7% of the students are two
or more races. This is an on-level 6th grade math class, with four students
with 504 plans, and two students with IEPs. The two students with IEPs do
not receive IEP support in math class related to math but may need some
support with the research aspect. There are 15 boys and 13 girls in the
class.
