Note: Embedded Standards

There are instances throughout this program where the underlying math concept in a Common Core content standard is "embedded" within a task, but the standard is not directly aligned to the task. A student may use the underlying math concept in an embedded standard to solve the problem but cannot be required to use that math concept, due to the open-ended nature of problem solving. These tasks should not be given as an assessment but rather used with students to practice a particular math concept or skill. Content Standard Classification In Problem Solving for the Common Core , each Common Core content standard has been classified in one of three ways: Aligned, Embedded or Not Applicable. Descriptions for each are found below. • Aligned This classification refers to problem-solving tasks (instructional/formative and summative) that are directly “aligned” to a specific content standard. These tasks can be used for practice and/or assessment. Summative assessment tasks include anchor papers and scoring rationales. • Embedded This classification refers to instances where the underlying math concept in the content standard is “embedded” within a task, but the standard is not directly aligned to that task. A student may use the underlying math concept in the standard to solve the problem but cannot be required to use that math concept, due to the open-ended nature of problem solving. These tasks should not be given as an assessment but rather used with students to practice a particular math concept or skill. • Not Applicable Content standards that have been classified as “not applicable” cannot be assessed through problem solving. For this reason, tasks have not been included for these particular standards. For example, the Kindergarten Counting and Cardinality Standard, K.CC.B.4a states, “When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.” This standard specifically describes a principle of counting (one-to-one correspondence) that does not elicit DOK3 tasks.
