A team of fifth-grade teachers are reviewing the following math
standard and are creating a proficiency scale for the measurement
topic of fractions:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NF.A.2: "Solve word problems involving
addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole,
including cases of unlike denominators (e.g., by using visual fraction
models or equations to represent the problem)" (Common Core
,State Standards Initiative, 2021).
Which proficiency scale statement corresponds to target level 3.0
proficiency for the given measurement topic?
Give this one a try later!
The student will solve addition One individual standard is assessed
and subtraction word at a time, rather than multiple
problems involving fractions standards.
They can help students determine
their own progress toward different They remove some measurement
standards. error from observed scores.
