The state assessment asks students to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and understanding related to these standards using a common measure. The resulting data allows us to see patterns in performance that should guide school and district improvement, helping identify areas of strength and opportunity.\u003Cbr>Role of Performance Level Descriptors in Defining Proficiency: Performance level descriptors bridge the state assessment to classroom instruction and the systems of formative assessments that guide local instruction and choices about individual students. Academic proficiency represents a range of observable student performance characteristics. There are multiple pathways to proficiency, and students rely upon their strengths differently within that range of performance.\u003Cbr>Proficiency and Difficulty: A student’s ability to demonstrate proficiency is influenced by the complexity of the texts or stimuli presented, tasks they’re asked to complete, and the contextsin which they are engaged. As student performance improves, students are typically able to handle more challenging texts/stimuli, tasks, and contexts, and are able to demonstrate their skills and knowledge more accurately and consistently. |\n| --- | --- |\n\nClaim 1: Operations and Algebraic Thinking i Student performance indicates the ability to ...  \n\n| Above Proficient | Analyze multiplication and division in real-world contexts, solve multi-step problems within 100, identify unknown values in equations, and explain arithmetic patterns to solve two-step word problems. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Proficient | Interpret multiplication and division through groups and equal distribution, solve real-world problems within 100, represent equations with symbols and drawings, use properties of operations, solve two-step word problems, and explain arithmetic patterns in addition and multiplication. |\n| Approaching Proficient | Use multiplication and division in real-world contexts, solve problems within 100, represent equations, apply single properties of operations, and identify arithmetic patterns in addition and multiplication. |\n| Below Proficient | Recognize multiplication and division of whole numbers, solve basic one-step problems within 100, represent problems with drawings, apply single properties of operations, use memorized facts, and recognize arithmetic patterns. |\n\nClaim 2: Numbers and Operations in Base Tenii Student performance indicates the ability to ...  \n\n| Above Proficient | Explain and interpret place value and properties of operations (commutative, associative, identity) to justify strategies and algorithms for fluently performing multi-digit arithmetic, including addition, subtraction, and multiplying one-digit numbers by multiples of 10. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Proficient | Use place value and properties of operations to fluently perform multi-digit arithmetic, including addition, subtraction, and multiplying one-digit numbers by multiples of 10, using various strategies and algorithms. |\n| Approaching Proficient | Use place value and properties of operations to add, subtract, and multiply within 1,000, including multiplying one-digit numbers by multiples of 10. |\n| Below Proficient | Perform multi-digit addition and subtraction within 100, and multiply one-digit numbers by multiples of 10 without fully recognizing the role of place value. |\n\nClaim 3: Fractionsiii Student performance indicates the ability to ...  \n\n| Above Proficient | Apply unit fractions to real-world problems, represent, and compare fractions on number lines, identify equivalent fractions, and generate fractions greater than 1. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Proficient | Identify fractions as parts of a whole; represent them on a number line with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8; describe equivalent fractions; express whole numbers as fractions; and compare fractions w","cbCaivCoAZiyKGgl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivCoAZiyKGgl","pdf",208214,"English","# Theory of Action\n## Role of Performance Level Descriptors in Defining Proficiency\n## Proficiency and Difficulty\n# Operations and Algebraic Thinking\n# Numbers and Operations in Base Ten\n# Fractions\n# Measurement and Data\n# Geometry","[{\"question\":\"How do performance level descriptors support classroom instruction for Grade 3 Mathematics?\",\"answer\":\"They bridge state assessment results to classroom teaching by describing observable student performance characteristics.
