Levels

Descriptions

4

SS Range:

678-810

Students order decimals; identify decimal place value; use percent; use estimation; apply graphical data; predict effect of a biased sample; identify equivalence within a measurement system; find linear, square, and cubic measure; model solid figures; predict probability; identify arrangements and combinations; create and describe patterns; explain reasoning; draw conclusions; analyze situations.

3

SS Range:

637-677

Students consistently solve multistep problems; identify odds/evens; order fractions; use manipulatives to model decimal relationships; identify percent; collect, organize, display, and interpret real-world data; use appropriate units of measure; identify points, lines, rays, planes, polygons; identify faces of solid figures; express probability; extend a numerical pattern; justify a reasonable solution.

2

SS Range:

602-636

Students for the most part use basic facts for all operations; add/subtract with regrouping/use ordinals; order whole numbers; use whole-number place value; model operations and simple fractional relationships with manipulatives; read/interpret data; identify lines of symmetry; extend and describe simple patterns; solve for an unknown with manipulatives.

1

SS Range:

448-601

Students may use basic addition and subtraction, identify first and last numbers; count groups of objects; use manipulatives to model whole-number relationships; recognize simple data; use counting to determine perimeter and area of simple figures; understand that some events are more likely than others; use manipulatives to explore patterns.

The performance level indicates that the student can perform the majority of what is described for that level as well as what is described for the levels below. The student may also be capable of performing some of the things described in the next higher level, but not enough to have reached that level of performance.

The skills and knowledge described in the next higher level are the competencies a student needs to demonstrate to show academic growth.
