Our Standards-Based Assessment Rubric supports the Mathematical Practices, defines expectations for high-level mathematics, and gives teachers clear guidelines for evaluating student work and providing meaningful feedback.
Our student rubric presents learners with important information about what is expected and what kind of work meets the standard. It may also be used to develop self- and peer-assessment abilities.
Summative assessments include student anchor papers and assessment rationales at the 4 performance levels of the Exemplars rubric. These tools demonstrate for students and teachers what work meets or does not meet the standard and explains why.
Each instructional task is open-ended and written uniquely for the Common Core Content Standards. Differentiated versions are included at three points of entry. Spanish translations are also available.
Teacher Planning Sheets accompany every task. This resource outlines the math concepts and skills that students will need to know as well as alternative strategies for solving a problem.
Delivered online, this K–5 supplemental resource offers educators authentic problem-solving tasks to engage students and develop their abilities to reason and communicate mathematically as well as to formulate mathematical connections.
Our extensive Library of performance materials is built from the ground up for the Common Core. 500+ problem-solving tasks are provided. An interactive scoring tutorial is also included to help teachers hone their assessment skills.
Exemplars is the perfect supplement to any math curriculum!
Rich, problem-solving supplements are organized by Common Core domain and standard.
Each standard offers 5 (or more) open-ended math tasks that connect both the Standards for Mathematical Content and Mathematical Practice. These may be used for classroom instruction, exploration, formative assessment, and summative assessment.
Our DOK 3 problems naturally elicit the Mathematical Practices and are designed to engage students and develop their abilities to reason and communicate mathematically.
Spanish task translations are available.
Exemplars instructional tasks are differentiated at 3 entry points, allowing easy integration in mixed-ability classrooms. These problems may also be used for formative assessment. There are 4 or more instructional tasks provided for each content standard.
Preliminary Planning Sheets serve as a teacher's guide for every task.
They outline the math concepts and skills students will need to know as well as alternative strategies for solving each problem.
This resource assists with lesson preparation and assessing student work.
The Exemplars Standards-Based Math Rubric allows teachers to examine student work against a set of analytic criteria to determine student performance. Our rubric criteria strongly support the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice. There are 4 performance levels – Novice, Apprentice, Practitioner (meets the standard), and Expert.
This assessment tool is designed to identify what is important, define what meets the standard, and distinguish between different levels of performance. It also provides teachers with guidelines for giving meaningful feedback to their students.
Student rubrics, written in kid-friendly language, are also included. These may be used to develop a child's ability to self- and peer-assess.
Student anchor papers and scoring rationales are provided at the 4 performance levels of the Exemplars assessment rubric and accompany each Summative Assessment.
These tools demonstrate for teachers and students what work meets (and does not meet) the standard in accordance with the assessment rubric and explain why.
They are also a valuable staff development resource and may be used with students as a basis for self- and peer-assessment.
One (or more) summative assessment task is provided for each content standard.
