Mathematics Formative Assessment System Tasks Other Resources

The system includes tasks or problems that teachers can implement with their Mathematics Assessment Project
students, and rubrics that help the teacher interpret students' responses.
Teachers using MFAS ask students to perform mathematical tasks, explain their Equivalent Fractions approach to non-repeating decimals
reasoning, and justify their solutions. Rubrics for interpreting and evaluating
student responses are included so that teachers can differentiate instruction Repeating Decimals as Approximation
based on students' strategies instead of relying solely on correct or incorrect
answers. The objective is to understand student thinking so that teaching can Sharing Prize Money

Unit Scale (Multidimensional) (MDS)
The multidimensional, unit scale is a curricular organizer for PLCs to use to begin unpacking the unit. The MDS should not be used directly with students and is not for
measurement purposes. This is not a scoring rubric. Since the MDS provides a preliminary unpacking of each focus standard, it should prompt PLCs to further explore question #1,
“What do we expect all students to learn?” Notice that all standards are placed at a 3.0 on the scale, regardless of their complexity. A 4.0 extends beyond 3.0 content and helps
students to acquire deeper understanding/thinking at a higher taxonomy level than represented in the standard (3.0). It is important to note that a level 4.0 is not a goal for the
academically advanced, but rather a goal for ALL students to work toward. A 2.0 on the scale represents a “lightly” unpacked explanation of what is needed, procedural and
declarative knowledge i.e. key vocabulary, to move students towards proficiency of the standards.

4.0 In addition to displaying a 3.0 performance, the student must demonstrate in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught within these
standards. Examples:

 Generate and test an idea that would allow me to find all of the statements that could possible be true to an algebraic expression that applies properties
of operations as strategies to add and subtract unknown rational numbers.
3.0 The Student will:
*Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal
or vertical number line diagram. (MACC.7.NS.1.1)

 Describe situations in which opposite quantities combine to make 0. For example, a hydrogen atom has 0 charge because its two constituents are
oppositely charged. (MACC.7.NS.1.1a)
 Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show
that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
(MACC.7.NS.1.1b)
 Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, p – q = p + (–q). Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the
number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts. (MACC.7.NS.1.1c)
 Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract rational numbers. (MACC.7.NS.1.1d)

*Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

 Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy the properties of
operations, particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (–1)(–1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers. Interpret products
of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
 Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational number.
If p and q are integers, then –(p/q) = (–p)/q = p/(–q). Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.
 Convert a rational number to a decimal using long division; know that the decimal form of a rational number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats.
(MACC.7.NS.1.2)

* Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (MACC.7.NS.1.3)

2.0 The student will recognize or recall specific vocabulary, such as:
 Additive Inverse, Multiplicative Inverse, Associative Property of Multiplication, Commutative Property of Multiplication, Distributive Property, Identify
Property of One, absolute value, integer, natural numbers, negative numbers, opposite numbers, positive numbers, rational numbers, repeating decimals,
terminating decimals, non-terminating decimals, zero pair, operations, properties, real numbers

The student will perform basic processes, such as:


* Select two numbers that are an equal distance from zero on a number line and show that they have a sum of zero. Find the distance a number is from zero on a
number line, and show moving right on a number line represents adding a positive number and that moving left represents add a negative number

* Demonstrate understanding of the properties of operations for multiplying and dividing rational numbers. Know how to convert between fractions and decimals

* Recall and apply the rules and properties of operations of rational numbers.

Unpacking the Standard: What do we want students to Know, Understand and Do (KUD):
The purpose of creating a Know, Understand, and Do Map (KUD) is to further the unwrapping of a standard beyond what the MDS provides and assist PLCs in answering question
#1, “What do we expect all students to learn?” It is important for PLCs to study the focus standards in the unit to ensure that all members have a mutual understanding of what
student learning will look and sound like when the standards are achieved. Additionally, collectively unwrapping the standard will help with the creation of the uni-dimensional
scale (for use with students). When creating a KUD, it is important to consider the standard under study within a K-12 progression and identify the prerequisite skills that are
essential for mastery.

Cluster: Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers (Major)
Standard: MAFS.7.NS.1.3: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
a. Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy the properties of operations,
particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (–1)(–1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers. Interpret products of rational numbers
by describing real-world contexts.
b. Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational number. If p and q
are integers, then –(p/q) = (–p)/q = p/(–q). Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
c. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.
d. Convert a rational number to a decimal using long division; know that the decimal form of a rational number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats.

Prerequisite skills: What prior knowledge (foundational skills) do students need to have mastered to be successful with this standard?

Learning Goals:

 Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy the properties of operations,
particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (–1)(–1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers. Interpret products of rational numbers
by describing real-world contexts.
 Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational number. If p and q
are integers, then –(p/q) = (–p)/q = p/(–q). Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
 Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Convert a rational number to a decimal using long division; know that the decimal form of a rational number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats.

Moving Beyond:

Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much

one is than the other. For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3 x and the population of the world as 7 x , and determine that the
world population is more than 20 times larger.
 Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and
choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation
that has been generated by technology.

Uni-Dimensional, Lesson Scale:
The uni-dimensional, lesson scale unwraps the cognitive complexity of a focus standard for the unit, using student friendly language. The purpose is to articulate distinct levels of
knowledge and skills relative to a specific topic and provide a roadmap for designing instruction that reflects a progression of learning. The sample performance scale shown
below is just one example for PLCs to use as a springboard when creating their own scales for student-owned progress monitoring . The lesson scale should prompt teams to
further explore question #2, “How will we know if and when they’ve learned it?” for each of the focus standards in the unit and make connections to Design Question 1,
“Communicating Learning Goals and Feedback” (Domain 1: Classroom Strategies and Behaviors). Keep in mind that a 3.0 on the scale indicates proficiency and includes the
actual standard. A level 4.0 extends the learning to a higher cognitive level. Like the multidimensional scale, the goal is for all students to strive for that higher cognitive level,
not just the academically advanced. A level 2.0 outlines the basic declarative and procedural knowledge that is necessary to build towards the standard.
Standard: MAFS.7.NS.1.3 Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Sample High Cognitive Demand Tasks:
These task/guiding questions are intended to serve as a starting point, not an exhaustive list, for the PLC and are not intended to be prescriptive. Tasks/guiding questions simply
demonstrate one way to help students learn the skills described in the standards. Teachers can select from among them, modify them to meet their students’ needs, or use them
as an inspiration for making their own. They are designed to generate evidence of student understanding and give teachers ideas for developing their own activities/tasks and
common formative assessments. These guiding questions should prompt the PLC to begin to explore question #3, “How will we design learning experiences for our students?”
and make connections to Marzano’s Design Question 2, “Helping Students Interact with New Knowledge”, Design Question 3, “Helping Students Practice and Deepen New
