3 MCAS Mathematics Performance Indicators The MCAS Mathematics Performance Indicator practice tests are designed to help students prepare for the Massachusetts state test in Mathematics. There are two forms of the Performance Indicators available. They are parallel forms that can be administered before instruction and after, or at any time during the school year. The MCAS Finish Line Mathematics Workbook, Grade 6 provides a complete sequence of instruction in the assessed standards of the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework. The workbook includes guided practice and independent practice for each mathematics skill in multiple-choice, short-answer, and open-response formats. A list of assessed skills is available at the back of this guide. The MCAS Mathematics Performance Indicators, Grade 6 are divided into two sessions: Session 1 and Session 2. The sessions should be administered simultaneously on a single day. Sessions 1 and 2 contain multiple-choice, short-answer, and open-response questions. Each multiple-choice question has four answer choices, one of which is the correct answer. Students should circle the letter of the best answer. Short-answer questions require students to provide a written response a short statement or a numeric computation, for example. Open-response questions require a more extensive answer, usually as a written response or by completing a table, chart, or graph. This teacher s guide includes suggestions for using these test preparation materials, directions for administering the Performance Indicator, an answer key, correlations to the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework, scoring guidelines and rubrics, a class skill analysis chart for all question types, a reproducible reference sheet, and a reproducible page of cut-out tools. The chart below provides a sample timetable for administering the Grade 6 Performance Indicator. Session 1 12 multiple-choice questions 60 minutes, plus an additional Day 1 2 short-answer questions 10 minutes for preparation 3 open-response questions Session 2 17 multiple-choice questions 60 minutes, plus an additional Day 1 3 short-answer questions 10 minutes for preparation 2 open-response questions MCAS Mathematics Performance Indicator Form 6A 3

4 Session 1 Using Your Performance Indicator Mathematics tests today are usually given in multiple sessions. You will probably want your students to work with the MCAS Mathematics Performance Indicator practice tests in the same way. In addition, schedule review sessions as close as possible to the completion of each part; this will enable you to go over the students answers while the contents are still fresh in their minds. Be sure to consider with the students ways in which their written responses could be improved. Directions for using each booklet begin below. Those that you will read aloud to the class are in boldface type and preceded by the word SAY; those that are not meant to be read aloud are in regular type. The directions that follow instruct the students to write their answers in the test booklets. If you prefer to use a separate answer sheet for the multiple-choice questions, reproduce the answer sheet on page 9 of this guide. Remind students to write their name on the answer sheet. Then instruct them on how to fill in the circles clearly. Like actual tests, the Performance Indicators ask students to use particular mathematical tools, such as rulers, as well as a reference sheet for mathematical formulas. Every student should have his or her own set of these tools and a reference sheet. Blackline masters for making them appear on pages of this guide. Before beginning the practice materials, copy the master for the tools onto heavy cardstock and cut out and distribute a set of tools and an individual storage envelope to each student. These tools are also available in punch-out form from Continental Press. Alternatively, provide students with similar manipulatives and tools to use. At some levels of the MCAS, calculator use is permitted or required. Supply calculators as needed. Allow 60 minutes for this first session. Make sure each student has a Performance Indicator, Form A, two No. 2 pencils, a set of tools, a reference sheet, and an optional answer form, if you are using it. SAY Turn to the inside front cover of the booklet and write your name on the line provided. For Session 1, you will have 60 minutes to answer the 17 questions. Check to be sure students have written their name on the inside front cover of their booklets. Explain to the students that they should read each multiple-choice question and all four answers carefully, before circling the letter of the best answer. Then take the time to answer any questions the students may have. SAY Open your booklets to page 3. Read, or have a volunteer read, the directions. SAY Read the directions and questions on each page carefully. You may use your tools and reference sheet to help you solve any questions on the test. Remember that you have 60 minutes to work on Session 1. Continue working until you reach the word Stop on page 10. If you finish early, review your work and just sit quietly until the time is up. Are there any questions? Pause to answer any questions. 4 MCAS Mathematics Performance Indicator Form 6A

11 MCAS Mathematics Rubric for Open-Response Items Rubrics for the MCAS mathematics items are specific to the individual items. The following rubric provides general guidelines for evaluating the open-response items in the MCAS Mathematics Performance Indicator practice tests. In reviewing student work, tailor the rubric to the learning standard covered in the item. Score Description 4 The student response demonstrates an exemplary understanding of the concepts involved in the specific learning standard. 3 The student response demonstrates a good understanding of the concepts involved in the specific learning standard. Although there is significant evidence that the student is able to recognize and apply the concepts involved, some aspect of the response is flawed. As a result, the response merits 3 points. 2 The student response demonstrates a fair understanding of the concepts involved in the specific learning standard. While some aspects of the task are completed correctly, others are not. The mixed evidence provided by the student merits 2 points. 1 The student response demonstrates only a minimal understanding of the concepts involved in the specific learning standard. 0 The student response contains insufficient evidence of an understanding of the concepts involved in the specific learning standard to merit any points.
