- Summary:
-
Beginning in 1999, all of the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) had to be aligned with the Pennsylvania Academic Standards. This handbook describes the PSSA mathematics assessment. Following an overview of the PSSA, the second chapter focuses on the development and scoring of the mathematics assessment. Administering the assessment is described, with explanations of the permitted uses of calculators, rulers, and other tools in the assessment. A fourth chapter discusses the focus of the mathematics assessment and describes the reporting of school and student scores, setting performance standards for the assessment, and the use of scoring rubrics versus performance standards. The next three chapters discuss preparing for the assessment of grades 5, 8, and 11 respectively. Sample items, scoring guides, and sample student responses are presented for each grade. An appendix lists members of the Mathematics Assessment Advisory Committee. (SLD)
