Performance Tasks
New Tools from NCTM - http://www.nctm.org/rsmtasks/ - NCTM has created a "Reasoning and Sense Making Task Library". These include the Task Design, Teaching Design, and Student Engagement to help teachers integrate the Common Core Standards in their classroom.
The Mathematics Common Core Toolbox - http://www.ccsstoolbox.com/ - This site has been created through a collaboration of the Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas at Austin and Agile Mind with partial funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Some of the included materials have been adapted from the efforts of researchers and practitioners. Other materials on the site have been contributed by the Dana Center or Agile Mind—or the organizations jointly—and were developed with the collaboration of educators throughout the United States as part of a system of programs intended to enable every student to have the opportunity to succeed in learning a challenging mathematics curriculum, supported by a teacher who has access to the most promising practices in instruction and formative assessment.
Inside Mathematics – http://insidemathematics.org – Welcome to Inside Mathematics, a professional resource for educators passionate about improving students' mathematics learning and performance. This site features classroom examples of innovative teaching methods and insights into student learning, tools for mathematics instruction that teachers can use immediately, and video tours of the ideas and materials on the site.
K-12 Illustrative Mathematics – Guidance for CCSS in Math - http://illustrativemathematics.org/ - The Illustrative Mathematics Project will provide guidance to states, assessment consortia, testing companies, and curriculum developers by illustrating the range and types of mathematical work that students will experience in a faithful implementation of the Common Core State Standards, and by publishing other tools that support implementation of the standards. New materials have just been posted to show the types of teaching and tasks that represent the standards. Keep checking back as this site will continue to build.
MARS Assessment Resource Services - http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~ttzedweb/MARS/ The Mathematics Assessment Resource Service, works with districts and states on performance assessment design and implementation, and on professional development for designers and teachers. The site includes their services, research, work, and sample MARS tasks. Balanced Assessment - http://balancedassessment.concord.org/ - The library of over 300 mathematics assessment tasks developed during the project remains freely available through this web site. Teachers may use these materials in their own classrooms at no cost.
Balanced Assessmeent - http://balancedassessments.concord.org/ provides over 300 performance based tasks at different grade levels along with rubrics. These tasks were developed at the Harvard Graduate School of education.
