In this performance assessment, students will choose a project to display their understanding of distance and how absolute value is used to find the distance between two numbers.Specifically, students will be asked to create three absolute value questions in the context of creating a book, picture, game, act, play, interview, song, or a quiz.
Students will choose a project type, create three questions that fit into the type of project they picked, and create an original project incorporating their three absolute value questions. Students will turn in a brainstorming sheet, a project, three questions with work showing how solutions were calculated, and a short reflection.
Students can create the final project in any appropriate way, including but not limited to, PowerPoint or Google Slides (or another slideshow tool), Microsoft Word or Google Docs, or paper and colored pens/pencils/markers. Final student work should be saved as an Acrobat PDF for uploading to the virtual scoring software.

Big Ideas | Competencies |
---|---|
A. Understanding and Applying Number SystemsStudents understand that numbers hold value and can choose the appropriate representations and algorithms to reason quantitatively, abstractly, and efficiently. |
Rational Numbers 1Students can show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference and apply this principle in real-world contexts. |
Below are analytic teacher rubrics. The column on the left shows the dimension that is being measured in the student’s performance. The levels across the top row indicate the performance level in the dimensions. Occasionally all dimensions and performance levels are exemplified by multiple students in a single recording.
