English Language Arts and Math
Smarter Balanced sample items illustrate the rigor and complexity of the English language arts/literacy and mathematics items and performance tasks students will encounter on the Consortium’s next-generation assessments.
To be prepared for the academic rigor of high school and beyond, all students must continually practice the essential higher-order reading and writing skills identified within the CCSS. Strategies and instructional methods will only be successful if educators begin to implement fully aligned questions that consistently provide accurate student data to guide future instruction. Common Core Questions exists to provide educators with these types of questions.
(some of this is free) Test Prep Review has provided Common Core practice questions and answers. By taking advantage of these resources, teachers can determine student strengths and weaknesses, and pinpoint those areas where students may be falling short of the standards.

In an effort to provide educators with as much support as possible regarding the instructional and assessment shifts necessitated by the Common Core, NYSED has prepared 2013 Test Guides for each subject and grade. The Test Guides integrate important instructional and assessment information into a single document and detail how the CCLS in English Language Arts and Mathematics will be measured on the 2013 tests and supplement the other Common Core implementation resources found on EngageNY.
The following online tools have been developed by the Los Angeles County Office of Education and are selected to address the types of skills necessary to complete questions on the SBAC computer adaptive tests. An effort has been made to select resources that are free, however some may require registration. Please note that these resources are provided not as examples of the actual questions on the SBAC computer adaptive test, but selected based on review of the SBAC Item Specification Materials documents.

MAP Classroom Challenges are of two kinds. Both are anchored in the content described in the standards, focusing on the mathematical practices that are the major new challenge in the CCSSM. The two complementary types are:
Concept Development Lessons which help students and teachers realize the CCSSM requirement that “Proficient students expect mathematics to make sense.” These lessons are designed to reveal and develop students’ conceptions, and misconceptions, of significant mathematical ideas and how these connect to their other knowledge.
Problem Solving Lessons which help students and teachers also realize the CCSSM requirement that “They take an active stance in solving mathematical problems.” These lessons are designed to assess and develop students’ capacity to apply their mathematics flexibly to non-routine unstructured problems, both from the real world and within pure mathematics.
