What’s your FCAT IQ?: 

What’s your FCAT IQ? How many mathematics strands are in the Sunshine State Standards? At which grade levels students are required to do performance tasks? How many different benchmarks are assessed by performance task questions? ‘ 5 Number Sense and Concepts; Measurement; Geometry and Spatial Sense; Algebraic Thinking; Data Analysis and Probability Grades 5, 8, 10 4 Short Response 2 Extended Response

Know the Target…: 

Know the Target… Close the achievement gap among subgroups All students increase performance and learning gains on the FCAT More students take higher level mathematics courses Curriculum: Sunshine State Standards Increased Student Achievement in Mathematics

Increase Student Opportunities to Learn by Encouraging Teachers to:: 

Increase Student Opportunities to Learn by Encouraging Teachers to: Use data Have students apply learning in a real-world context Use technology Use both assessments “of” and “for” learning Use gridded response questions and performance task questions on a regular basis in their classroom. Increase capacity by participating in staff development opportunities

Grade 10 Short Response Practice A city is planning to replace one of its water storage tanks with a larger one. The city’s old tank is a right circular cylinder with a radius of 12 feet and a volume of 10,000 cubic feet. The new tank is a right circular cylinder with a radius of 15 feet and the same height as the old tank. How many cubic feet of water will the new storage tank hold? Show your work or explain in words how to determine the answer. Explanation or work equivalent to the following: OR an answer in the range of Volume of new tank 15,625 cubic feet 15,543-15,630.5
