Scope and Sequence
Grade 6 Extended Response
Each Extended Response Library includes 100 static open-ended problems and assignments that integrate the
use of multiple math skills. These multiple-part extended response assignments provide extra challenge and
help build critical-thinking and real-world problem-solving skills. They include authentic and performancebased assessments and research projects. Teachers score the assignments using a simple scoring rubric
provided. The program then reports student progress in terms of correct answers, problem-solving strategies,
and communication of understanding. This extended response library provides the following scope and
