Mathematics Grade Level Considerations for High School
In contrast to the kindergarten through grade 8 Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, high school level standards are not grade-specific. Instead, the standards specify learning expectations upon graduation from high school. This presentation provides an introduction to grade-specific considerations for item and task development for the Smarter Balanced assessments. These include guidelines for the following:
appropriate grade-level and mathematics vocabulary
appropriate representation of numbers in items and tasks
grade appropriate contexts
item difficulty
grade-level specific assessment targets
