Standards Assessed: 1, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f, 3, 6
Table of Test Specifications
Students will make connections among mathematical ideas and to other disciplines
This is a very broad standard to cover, so I think it will need to be done over time and included in more specific subjects. For example, when you begin to teach money, you can relate it back to skip counting. I think you would need to ask knowledge questions on skip counting to be sure they know how to do that, as well as some questions on money to be sure the students know the value of the coins. The same goes for the other two content areas. It will take a couple of questions to determine if they understand what the mathematical concept and the other discipline concept is before we can continue. As far as the reasoning skills, I think it would only take one question to see if they can use what they know to make the connection (inductive/deductive) and then to compare the two concepts in each content area.
