Mathematics Problem Solving Tasks - High School

Work samples will more effectively support student learning when they are integrated systematically into the district curriculum and are also part of classroom instruction (that is, the normal, ongoing evaluation and grading process). For example, when they are used to help summarize a unit of study or extending the concepts presented, work samples can be a natural part of classroom practices and be offered many times during the school year.

These examples of work sample tasks are aligned to the 2011-12 Mathematics Problem Solving Scoring Guide (http://www.ode.state.or.us/wma/teachlearn/testing/scoring/guides/2011-12/mathpsscoringguide_eng_1112.pdf PDF

) and to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), and some tasks are aligned to the 2007/2009 Oregon Mathematics Content Standards, http://ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/real/standards/sbd.aspx.

Check back to this page as more Student Work and Scores will be added. Professional development resources are available to assist with the proposed new mathematics scoring guide (http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/subjects/mathematics/resources/math-pd.pdf PDF

).
