About the MMLA Mathematics Assessments |
|
|
The Michigan Mathematics Leadership Academy is a partnership
between Michigan's regional Mathematics and Science Centers, Michigan Council
of Teachers of Mathematics, and Michigan Department of Education. Our mission
is to promote student understanding and skill in mathematics through
professional development, curriculum rejuvenation, and professional networking.
MMLA works through the Mathematics and Science Centers to
develop teams of knowledgable teachers and consultants who provide services
across the state. We set annual goals for instructional improvement based on
state and national priorities.
Given the importance of the new 3rd-8th
grade MEAP assessments, MMLA compiled MEAP-like assessment items aligned to the
Grade Level Content Expectations from several sources (Jackson County ISD,
Mid-Michigan Consortium, Manistee ISD, MCTM, NAEP, TIMSS, and others). Math/Science Center teams then gathered from across
the state to jury the items. Those items that were judged to be
aligned and appropriate are included in this data base. Items will be updated
as needed. MEAP released items will be added to this item bank each year. MMLA continues to invite submissions of new items from
individuals and item writing groups.

Making Custom Assessments |
|
|
To make a customized assessment, choose a grade level from the left hand navigation bar, or search for a GLCE, a domain, or a keyword.
If you choose a grade level, you can then pick the strands, topics, and GLCEs you need to compose your test. You can choose to add items
that correspond to the core and extended core GLCEs only (those that are tested in 2005-2008) or you can choose all items, including the
future core GLCEs (those that will be tested starting in 2009).
To view an item for a chosen GLCE, click on the first line of the item information. You can then delete the item if you choose.
When you finish selecting items, click on Generate Test Documents. PDF files will be created for the assessment, an answer key, and a
list of GLCEs assessed.
