Exemplars Launches New Online Materials for the Common Core
Underhill, VT (PRWEB) December 12, 2013 -- Exemplars, the leader in educational standards-based assessment and instruction, announced today that it has launched a new set of online math materials to support teachers in implementing the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in their classrooms.
Called Problem Solving for the Common Core, the online materials are designed to assist elementary school math teachers in planning, teaching and assessing lessons that are aligned to the Common Core State Standards.
“We are thrilled to be able to provide teachers and administrators with materials built specifically for the Common Core.” said Exemplars CEO Ross Brewer. “We’ve created real-world math tasks to engage students and to ensure their success in school and beyond,” he added. “I'm also excited about the new Scoring Rationales that accompany our anchor papers. These two assessment tools demonstrate student work and identify strengths as well as areas for growth in accordance with the Exemplars rubric.”
Problem Solving for the Common Core provides over 500 open-ended math problems for grades K-5. The online Library also has rubrics, anchor papers and scoring rationales aligned to each Common Core State Standard. Additional CCSS-aligned materials for grades 6, 7, 8 in mathematics will be released as they are created.
