Teacher Instructions
MATH: Instructions
Students will complete the performance task independently. If a student is not working at grade level, appropriate for independent
completion, then the teacher may allow the student to work with a partner for additional support. Teachers can also work with students
in small group if necessary.

INTEGRATED PERFORMANCE TASK - GRADE 5
Performance Task for MATH
Lion Hunt
An adult lion can eat a lot of meat in one sitting. If a pride of lions eats a water buffalo that has 1,182 pounds of meat, and each adult
lion eats 66 pounds of meat, how many adult lions will the water buffalo feed? How many pounds of meat will be eaten by these lions?
Solve using two different strategies. Write a sentence to explain why your strategy works for each and explain your reasoning. The
water buffalo will feed 17 adult lions (17 r60). These 17 lions will eat a total of 1,122 pounds of meat. Explanations and students’
strategies may vary.
Will there be enough food left over to feed 4 cubs, if each cub needs 13 pounds of meat? Explain why or why not. Yes, because there are
60 pounds of meat remaining. 4 X 13 = 52 pounds of meat needed to feed the 4 cubs. Explanations may vary.
If 3 of the 17 adult lions are killed in the fight for the water buffalo, how many cubs can feed on the remaining water buffalo meat?
Explain how you got your answer. The remaining adult lions will eat 924 pounds of meat (14 x 66 = 924) leaving 258 pounds of meat for
the cubs to share. (1,182 – 924 = 258) If each cub eats 13 pounds of meat, the remaining meat will feed 19 lion cubs. (258 ÷ 13 = 19 r
11) Explanations may vary.

Evaluation Rubrics
MATH: Performance Task Rubric
4 - Mastery in Performance
Student does all of the following:
 Student correctly calculates that there will be enough meat to feed 17 adult lions; 1,122 pounds of meat will be eaten by the 17 lions.
 Student correctly calculates that there will be 60 pounds left over, which is enough to feed the 4 cubs.
 Student uses a different strategy (Base-ten blocks, place value, etc.) to show how they solved the problem.
 Student correctly calculates that there will be 258 pounds of meat left after 14 adult lions eat, which is enough to feed 19 lion cubs.
All solutions are explained using pictures, numbers, or words.
3 - Proficient in Performance

Some solutions are explained.
2 - Not Yet Proficient
Student does 1-2 of the following:
 Student correctly calculates that there will be enough meat to feed 17 adult lions; 1,122 pounds of meat will be eaten by the 17 lions.
 Student correctly calculates that there will be 60 pounds left over, which is enough to feed the 4 cubs.
 Student uses a different strategy (Base-ten blocks, place value, etc.) to show how they solved the problem.
 Student correctly calculates that there will be 258 pounds of meat left after 14 adult lions eat, which is enough to feed 19 lion cubs.
Some solutions are explained.
1 - Limited Performance
 The student is unable to use strategies to find correct answers to any aspect of the task
** NOTE: After grading the performance task using the 4-point rubric, the teacher will utilize data to determine the need for
remediation or enrichment. The teacher will provide the information to the student through specific developmental feedback,
in order to extend the student’s learning.
