Technology Needed: // 1 laptop for every two students or 1 laptop per student // a.) Location: table near the back b.) On one sheet of paper, rank the math standards on the exam from most frequently tested to least frequently tested c.) Your group must choose the same grade level d.) Hand your paper to me  e.) Click here - to get Engage NY -

f.) According to four teacher analysts, the most frequently tested math **domains** on the 2013 3rd grade New York State Math Exam were: > 1. **Domain**: Operations & Algebraic Thinking (6); > 2. **Domain**: Measurement and Data (5); > 3. **Domain**: Number & Operations—Fractions (3);

g.) According to four teacher analysts, the most frequently tested math **domains**, //**standards**// and //__**performance expectations**__// on the 2013 3rd grade New York State Math Exam were: > 1. **Domains**: Measurement and Data (6); > **Standard**: Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition. > **Performance Expectation**: Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it, and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. > > 2. **Domain**: Operations & Algebraic Thinking (5); > **Standard**: Solve problems involving the four operations, and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic. > **Performance Expectation**: Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding. > > 3. **Domain:** Numbers and Operations - Fractions (3) > h.) According to three teacher analysts, the most frequently tested math **domains**, //**standards**// and //__**performance expectations**__// on the 2013 4th grade New York State Math Exam were: > 1. **Domain**: Number & Operations—Fractions (5); > **Standard**: Build fractions from unit fractions; > **Performance Expectation**: Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. > > 2. **Domain**: Number & Operations in Base Ten (4); > **Standard**: Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic; > **Performance Expectation**: Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models. > > 3. **Domain**: Operations & Algebraic Thinking (3); > **Standard**: Generate and analyze patterns; > **Performance Expectation**: Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison. > > 4. **Domain**: Operations & Algebraic Thinking; > **Standard**: Generate and analyze patterns; > **Performance Expectation**: Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
