Description:

Setting Math Students Up For Success In Grades 5-8; What Did We Learn From Spring ILEARN?

With all the efforts teachers have made to prepare students for the ILEARN Assessment, scores, especially math scores declined.  By correlating the ILEARN Assessment Blueprint with the Indiana Mathematics Standards and identifying the Power Standards to focus on in your classroom, we will begin to address this issue. Teachers will start to formulate a plan to use these resources to direct their classroom instruction to maximize student’s achievement on the math portion of the ILEARN Assessment. The types of questions used on the ILEARN Assessment will be discussed and shown. Best mathematical practices to increase student performance for those questions will be demonstrated.  Resources, activities, and ideas for increasing student performance will be discussed.

Tasks To Be Completed:

  • Unpacking the participant’s Grade Level ILEARN Mathematics Assessment’s, blueprint, and test specifications
  • Looking at the participant’s Grade Level ILEARN Mathematics Assessment’s released items, samples, and scoring
  • Discussing and modeling best mathematical practices to ensure students achieving the best possible score on the ILEARN Math Assessment
  • Sharing resources and modeling teaching methods, student activities, and a variety of the most important problems students need to master to be successful

Target Audience:

Grades 5 – 8 math teachers, Curriculum Directors, Principals
