In this performance assessment, students will solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers. Specifically, students will be asked to solve three problems by translating a real-world problem into a mathematical problem and finding the solution for a variable, given a variety of nonnegative rational numbers.
This assessment would best be used after instruction on rational numbers, order of operations, and evaluating expressions.

B. Operations and Algebraic ThinkingStudents can use mathematics to analyze and evaluate historical, political, economic, scientific, and social problems and make conjectures about possible solutions. |
Solve Linear Equations 1Students can solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers. |
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.
