A Progression Toward Mastery Assessment Task Item STEP 1 Missing or incorrect answer and little evidence of reasoning or application of mathematics to solve the problem. STEP 2 Missing or incorrect answer but evidence of some reasoning or application of mathematics to solve the problem. STEP 3 A correct answer with some evidence of reasoning or application of mathematics to solve the problem, OR an incorrect answer with substantial evidence of solid reasoning or application of mathematics to solve the problem. STEP 4 A correct answer supported by substantial evidence of solid reasoning or application of mathematics to solve the problem. 1 a 6.NS.B.2 Student response is missing or depicts inaccurate operation choice. Student response is inaccurate and does not represent the correct place value. Student response is inaccurate through minor calculation errors; however, place value is represented accurately. Student response is correct. The price of each item is determined as , where place value is represented accurately. b 6.NS.B.2 Student response is incorrect or missing. Place value is not depicted in the response. Student response depicts place value only in monetary denominations, such as dollars and cents. Student response depicts place value accurately, but makes little to no correlation to monetary denominations. Student response is accurate. Each place value is labeled accurately and shows correlation to the monetary denominations each place value represents. For example, dollars is labeled with ones and dollars, cents is labeled with tenths and dimes, and the zero in the hundredths place is labeled with zero hundredths and “no pennies.” 2 a 6.NS.B.3 Student response is incorrect or missing. Students merely included one length and one side in the calculation. Student response is incorrect based on place value. Student response depicts understanding of the addition algorithm, but minor calculation errors hinder the correct sum of meters. Student calculations include all sides of the sand pit. Student applied the standard algorithm of addition of decimals to determine the correct sum of meters. b 6.NS.B.3 Student response is incorrect or missing. Calculations disregard Student response is incorrect and depicts inaccurate place value. Student response is incorrect. Student rounded the decimal Student response is correct. Reasoning is evident through the use of
