Math Exemplars

Using the Preliminary Planning Sheets The Preliminary Planning Sheet (PPS) serves as the teacher’s “blueprint” for each performance task and is a useful tool in lesson preparation. This resource enables teachers to foresee what instruction should be done before the task is used for assessment. It may also be used to anticipate which math concepts and skills students might be required to use. Each PPS includes the following information: • the Underlying Mathematical Concepts related to the task • some Possible Problem-Solving Strategies that students might use • some Possible Mathematical Vocabulary/Symbolic Representation that students might use • the Possible Solutions that students might find • some Possible Connections that students could make PPSs are provided with every task. In the summative assessment setting, PPSs are meant to support teachers in assessing student work with the Exemplars rubric. A student may use mathematical vocabulary/strategies/connections/representations that are not evident in any of the anchor papers but are noted on the PPS for the teacher to reference. (Students may also use additional mathematical vocabulary/strategies/connections/representations that are not noted on the PPS or anchor papers, but are mathematically relevant.) Accessing Preliminary Planning Sheets The PPS for any problem may be accessed and printed from the “Plan” section of a task. The information contained in the PPS is also visible in the task overview. Blank PPSs may be found under the “Classroom Resources” section and accessed through your dashboard.
