It explains SBA evidence-centered design, the role of Claims, and how targets align with Common Core clusters using major/additional/supporting emphasis. The document then presents example item stems, stimuli, interactions, and rubric notes for Targets B, C, and D, emphasizing exponents, radicals, and proportional or linear relationships.","Grade 8-SBA Claim 1 Example Stems  \nThis document takes publicly available information about the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) in Mathematics, namely the Claim 1 Item Specifications, and combines and edits them down to hopefully be more useful for teachers and others. The SBA Consortium is not involved in producing this document, so editing choices do not reflect any guidance from the SBA Consortium .  \nThe SBA uses evidence based design, viewing the assessment as eliciting evidence of student proficiency. That evidence is meant to support Claims, which in math are (to paraphrase):  \n1. A student understands concepts and can perform procedures.  \n2. A student can solve problems.  \n3. A student can reason (and critique the reasoning of others) .  \n4. A student can analyze and model real-world contexts using mathematics.  \nThese claims will be assessed in a roughly 40%-20%-20%-20% split. Given that previous assessments would heavily focus on procedures, while in this framework they constitute 20% as a focus (though of course are needed for items across all claims), this represents a significant shift in assessment.  \nThis document only looks at Claim 1 about concepts and procedures. Items written for Claim can look much like the Example Stems below . At other Claims items can vary more widely, as one would expect for multistep problems and authentic reasoning or modeling contexts.  \nClaim 1 is divided into various Targets which correspond roughly to the Clusters within the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics. The items from different targets will be taken based on emphasis with [m] being major, [a] additional and [s] supporting.  \nFinally, in an era of anxiety about end-of-year assessment (which constitutes only part of the Smarter Balanced system), it should be said that these are offered primarily to promote teacher professional understanding. Practices such as using the Example Stems exclusively as learning targets are discouraged. SBA is designed as much as possible to assess authentic learning of mathematics as outlined in the Standards, so that authentic learning should guide instruction .  \nExpressions and Equations  \nTarget B [m] : Work with radicals and integer exponents .(DOK Level 1)  \nStimulus: The student is presented with a numerical expression involving integer exponents .  \nExample Stem: Select all expressions equivalent to (45 ∙ 4–3)–2.  \nA. ~~ ~~!\"!\\#  \nB. 256  \nC. 4−10 · 46  \nD. 43 ∙ 4−5  \nExample Stem: Enter the value of n for the equation 45 ∙ 4n = 415.  \nRubric: (1 point) Student applies properties of exponents correctly and enters the correct response (e.g., 10) .  \nExample Stem 2: Select all possible values for x in the equation x2 = 200.  \nA. 102 B. − 1020 C. 1020 D. 2010 E. −102 F. −2010  \nExample Stem 2 : A water drop has a mass of approximately 3 x 10–6 grams .  \nAn elephant has a mass of approximately 1 x 106 grams .  \nHow many times smaller is the mass of the water drop than the mass of the elephant?  \nA. 3 ×10!!\"  \nB. 3 ×10!!\"  \nC. 3 ×10!  \nD. 3 ×10!\"  \nExample Stem 1 : Approximately 7.5 × 105 gallons of water flow over a waterfall each second.
