To the Teacher

This How to Get Better Test Scores book is designed to prepare your students for the mathematics portion of the assessments of academic readiness. Use the following steps to incorporate How to Get Better Test Scores into your classroom.

1. H ave students take the Diagnostic Test and check their answers. You may wish to have students enter their answers on the Student Information and Answer Sheet on pages 10 and 11 of this teacher guide. The Diagnostic Test includes a question for every assessed standard, as shown below. Then have them use the reproducible Skills Chart on page 8 of this guide to assess their strengths and weaknesses in the areas covered. Answer keys for all tests are included in this guide.

Boldface standards are Readiness standards. All other standards are supporting standards.

Depth of Knowledge Explanation

Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is a 4-level system that orders tasks according to the complexity of thinking needed to successfully solve them.

?DOK 1: Recall and Reproduction: Tasks in this category require students to recall facts or simple procedures. In mathematics, this includes recalling facts, definitions, terms, performing a simple algorithm, or applying a given or commonly known formula.

?DOK 2: Skills and Concepts: At this level, students must transform or process knowledge before responding and make some decisions as to how to approach the task. Some mathematical examples of DOK level 2 tasks include classifying items, organizing information, and estimating.

?DOK 3: Strategic Thinking: Tasks in this category demand that students use their higher order thinking skills to analyze and evaluate, to solve real-world problems, or to explore questions that have more than a single possible outcome. Asking students to state their reasoning or provide relevant justifications for their numerical answers are benchmarks of mathematical DOK 3 tasks.

?DOK 4: Extended Thinking: This level requires tasks that ask students to integrate their higher order thinking processes, such as combining critical and creative thinking, engaging in reflection, and adjusting plans over time. DOK level 4 items are not found on standardized assessments, and as such, are not included in this text.

The solutions on the following pages contain the DoK levels for all the problems in the student workbook.

Use this chart to find your strengths and weaknesses in the skills covered on the test.

1.Place a 1 in each white box to the right of the questions you answered correctly. For each incorrect answer, place a 0 in the white box.

2.Add each column and write the total correct in the box at the bottom of the column.

3.For example, if you answer questions 8 and 9 correctly, you have 2 out of 16 questions correct on the Computations and Algebraic Relationships part of the test. You may want to focus on this skill as you work through the lessons.

Note: Bold items indicate TEKS Readiness Standards.
