Los estudiantes leen un articulo, miran un video y exploran una guía de campo de bolsillo y luego responden tres preguntas de investigación. Después, conducen un inventario biológico (bioblitz) y escriben un ensayo explicando lo que es un inventario biolgico o bioblitz.

Diseñado para proveer informacion básica sobre energía renovable incluyendo qué es, cómo funciona y las ventajas y desventajas para el ambiente. Cada tarea de desempeño enfoca en un tipo de energía renovable, incluyendo información básica y con suficiente información para escribir ensayos de persuasión. La tarea de energía renovable y no renovable culmina con un discurso. Los maestros cuentan con una rúbrica para calificar el discurso como pracita del SBAC. Se proporciona una plantilla para preparar los discursos.

The purpose of this task is to give students the opportunity to use mathematics in real-world applications. In this task, students are introduced to the ongoing problem of affordable housing faced by state and national community builders and city planners. Students are presented with two data tables illustrating cost of housing and wage increases over 20 years. Students discuss questions they can ask and answer using this data. They will calculate the cost increase of housing over time and compare it to wage increase, concluding with a discussion about the comparison. Includes slides to support the implementation of "Housing Our Community (Grades 3-5)" Math Performance Task with charts, images, etc.

The purpose of this Performance task is to provide students with an opportunity to problem solve based on a real-world situation (Claims 2 & 4). Due to the nature of the task, there are a variety of mathematical approaches students can take to successfully complete the task, however the mathematical approach presented in Act Three of the task addresses CCSS Domain of Operation and Algebraic Thinking. With this approach, students are shown different strategies for using multiplication to find the solution. Includes slides to support the implementation of “The Winner Is…Native Plants (3-5)” Math Performance Task with charts, images, etc.

The purpose of this 3 ACT task is to provide students with an opportunity to problem solve based on a real-world situation. In the task, students are presented with 2 facts related to European Green Crabs and asked to generate their own questions that could be answered using one or both facts. Students then decide on necessary resources for finding the solution and are given time as a group to complete their work. The task concludes by having students examine the information provided in Act III to see if it answers their question. Includes slides to support the implementation of "What's the Problem (3-5)" Math Performance Task with charts, images, etc.
