They show evidence of comparing the fractions, either by using equivalent fractions, using pictures to compare, etc. SAMPLE: Emily ate more pizza. I drew two pizzas and showed what ¼ of a pizza looks like and what 1/3 of a pizza looks like. 1/3 was a bigger piece since it went around the circle more. 1 point: The student shows evidence of what 1/3 and ¼ means (ie. by drawing the pizzas) but either incorrectly answers Rachel or isn’t convincing in their comparison. SAMPLE: Emily. I drew ¼ of a pizza and 1/3 of a pizza. 3rd Grade Test Map Areas of Emphasis 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 Addition, subtraction, and place value Concepts of multiplication and division Fraction concepts Geometry Additional Key Content Reasoning, problem solving and communication Total Number of Items Total Number of Points Multiple Choice 3‐5 4‐6 3‐5 3‐5 3‐5 0‐1 Completion Items 1‐2 1‐2 0 0‐1 1‐2 0 Short Answer 0‐1 0‐1 0‐1 0‐1 0‐1 1‐2 Total Number of Points 5‐7 6‐8 3‐5 5‐7 4‐6 3‐5 20 20 6 6 4 8 34 Created by Tumwater School District.
