Evaluation for 2.1e
Instructional assessments include TEKS-aligned items at varying levels of complexity.
In Modules 1–8, the material includes instructional assessments aligned to TEKS items at varying levels of complexity. For example, in Module 3, for TEKS 2.2D in Lesson 15, students compare numbers by using symbols (<, >, =) and place value disks. In Module 3, Lesson 16, students compare using symbols and written comparative language. Lesson 17, students order numbers in various forms, such as placing digits in various places using place value, then ordering the numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least. In "Boleto de salida," the material provides more than two levels of complexity of the TEKS 2.2D learned in Lessons 15–17. In Module 6, Lesson 3 in "Problema de aplicación," real-world problems vary in levels of complexity. For example, the task builds complexity by allowing students to apply repeated addition or multiplication concepts for the following word problem: "Las flores estan floreciendo en el jardin de Maria. Hay 3 rosas, 3 ranúnculos, 3 girasoles, 3 margaritas, y 3 tulipanes. ¿Cuántas flores hay en total?." The students use chips and strip diagrams to represent repeated addition, complete a sentence stem, and write an equation to represent 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15, demonstrating varying levels of complexity. In the Evaluaciones resource, the materials include assessments with varying levels of complexity, such as "Evaluación de la mitad del módulo" and "Evaluación final del módulo," using various ways for students to demonstrate learning using multiple-choice, text-entry, and open-response items aligned to the TEKS. The materials include diagnostic assessments with multiple-choice, text-entry, and open-response items aligned to the TEKS. For example, Module 5, "Evaluación de mitad del módulo," shows that problems 1, 3, and 4 test TEKS 2.4B in various ways, including the algorithm and mental math using place value. In "Evaluación del final del módulo," TEKS 2.4B is assessed in problems 1, 3, 4, and 5 using different problem-solving strategies (e.g., using strip diagrams, mental math by place value, standard algorithm, and arrows are used in the assessment to solve equations).
