Session Objectives
• Analyze a 5th grade task in relation to the Common Core State
Standards
• Review resources and elements of CRA scoring
• Practice a scoring protocol
• Discuss the opportunity to improve instruction through the CRA
• Expected Concerns
– Time requirements with scoring
– Disagreement between scores
– Process elements
2
Our Approach
• The expansion of the Constructed Response Assessment
is designed to promote:
–Learning about the Standards, both for Content and
Mathematical Practice
–Insight into the expected format of the PARCC
Assessment
–A lens into student understanding against the
expectations of the Standards

Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication
and division
Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering
Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understanding
of operations on whole numbers
Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions
Apply and extend previous understanding of multiplication and division to multiply
and divide fractions
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems
Apply and extend previous understanding of arithmetic to algebraic expressions
Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical
problems
Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions
and equations
Define, evaluate, and compare functions
Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear
equations
4
Focusing on the Standards
The Standards for Mathematical Practice:
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Analyzing a Task
Task 1. 48 Gumdrops Task
Two children are sharing 48 gumdrops.
2
Jessica says, “I want 4 of the set of 48 gumdrops.”
2
Samuel says, “I want 3 of the set of 48 gumdrops.”
a.
Is it possible for Jessica and Samuel to each have the fraction of the gumdrops they want?
Answer:
b.
If you respond yes, use diagrams and equations to explain how you know they can each
receive the share of gumdrops they want. If you respond no, use diagrams and equations
to explain why the children cannot receive the number of gum drops they each want.

Scoring Practice
• Try scoring the first three papers in the training set on your own.
Please do not score the last paper at this time.
• As you are scoring, refer back to the guide sheet and papers 1, 4, and
10 from the scoring guide that we reviewed.
• Keep in mind: what evidence does the student provide to demonstrate
his/her knowledge and abilities in relation to the standards and
practices?
• In a few minutes you will be asked to share your scores with a
neighbor. Check for agreement on the content and practices. If you
don’t agree, discuss the student work, referring back to the guide
sheet and papers in the guide, and try to reach consensus.
