Exemplars

Math Exemplars are a bank of mathematical problems and assessments based on core math standards. Exemplars are based on research that shows that students who engage in challenging and interesting work will perform at higher levels than those who do not. The performance tasks in this program were written according to Universal Design guidelines and developed to support teachers in implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content and Standards for Mathematical Practice. This resource is intended to help teachers embed mathematical problem solving into classroom instruction and assessment. Both instructional tasks/formative assessments and summative assessment tasks are provided for every applicable Common Core content standard. Alignments to the Standards for Mathematical Practice are also included.

Exemplars materials include standard-based rubrics that define what work meets the standard, allowing teachers and students to distinguish between different levels of performance.
