Third Grade Performance Based Assessment The Flat Stanley Elementary School day starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 3:15 p.m. Students have 30 minutes for lunch and 20 minutes for recess. How long (in hours and minutes) are they in class each day? At Jerome Horwitz Elementary, the day starts at 8:30 and ends at 3:30. Students have 40 minutes for lunch and 20 minutes for recess. How long are they in class each day? (Extra challenge) If the school year is 180 days long, how much longer are students at Jerome Horwitz in school?

Eighth Grade Performance Based Assessment: Draw conclusions from this graph and explain your reasoning.
Eighth Grade Performance Based Assessment: Draw a correlation line and explain the concept of correlation and how it is alike and different from the concept of causation.
1. x = y 2. 2x = 2y 3. 2x + y = x + 2y 4. 2x + y - 2y = x + 2y - 2y 5. 2x + y - 2y = x 6. 2x + y - 2y - y = x - y 7. 2x - 2y = x - y Huh? Here is an algebraic equation that proves 2=1. Each step contains a new operation. Which step, if any, is incorrect? 8. 2(x - y) = x - y 2(x - y) (x - y) (x - y) (x - y) = 10. 2(x - y) (x - y) (x - y) (x - y) = 11. 2 = 1
High School Performance Based Assessment I In the American League playoffs, Joe Girardi, the Yankees manager made a practice of intentionally walking a man when the first Texas hitter doubled. Was this smart to do? Would it be smart with one out? With two outs? Prepare a presentation explaining your conclusion. In this same situation, Ron Washington, the Texas manager has to decide whether or not to have the next player make a sacrifice bunt. Describe how you would acquire the information necessary to provide Washington the best advice.
II. What model can you develop to assure that all schools spend an equitable amount on instruction per pupil?
Teaching for Deep Understanding At 8:00 a.m. Professor Cal Clueless parks his car in front of his office building. He walks into the building and for exercise walks up the stairs to his office on the tenth floor. As soon as he gets to the tenth floor, he remembers he left his laptop in his car. He runs a little way down the hall to the elevator, takes the elevator down, runs to his car, gets his laptop, and runs back to the elevator. He takes the elevator up to the tenth floor and walks a little way down the hall to his office and sits down at his desk. Graph the distance Cal traveled from 8:00 a.m. to when he sat at his desk as a function of elapsed time.

PAPER AIRPLANE COMPETITION The objective of this competition is to produce a paper airplane from given materials at the contest location which will fly the longest time and greatest straight-line distance from the launch point before hitting the ground. The score, S, for the event will be the time of flight, T, in seconds times the distance of flight, D, in meters, i.e. S=T*D.
