Mathematics Grade Expectations
A grade expectation (GE) is a stated objective that relates directly to a Vermont standard and associated evidences. A GE differentiates performance on content knowledge or skills between adjacent grade levels and describe clearly what students will do to show that they understand a designated concept. As a set, GEs should lead to focused, coherent, and developmentally appropriate instruction without narrowing the curriculum and can be used for local curriculum and assessment development. NOTE: Due to the original creation of this document, this download will also include the reading and writing GCEs. Pages specific to mathematics are on pages 9-44. |

Vermont Mathematics Grade Expectations (GE) Support Materials for Grades K-4 (Added 4/28/08)
The following files contain items keyed to each Vermont GE designed to help clarify the content of each GE, and are a suggested resource for gaining a deeper understanding of the meaning of Vermont’s Grade Expectations. The items were drawn from a variety of sources including NECAP released items, and serve the purpose of illustrating the skills and/or concepts within each GE. Furthermore, the items are annotated to indicate which skill and/or concept the item illustrates.
NOTE: These items are not designed to be used for assessment purposes. The examples are provided to support teachers in understanding the essence of each GE, and are a suggested resource that could be used for the teaching and learning of a GE. |

Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Grade Expectation Codes
This chart outlines the implied depth of knowledge or cognitive demand for each GE, and is an important guide in defining the levels of assessment for each GE. The last number in the sequence defines the highest level of assessment (ceiling) while the numbers which precede the ceiling define potential assessment levels (targets) along the achievement continuum. This chart should be used in conjunction with the Depth of Knowledge Mathematics Descriptors. |

Teacher Support Materials for Mathematics Grade Level Expectations
The NECAP Web site provides teachers in Vermont, New Hampshire and Rhode Island with support materials for using grade level expectations (GLEs) in the classroom. The GLEs can guide teachers in order to better understand what material students can expect to see on the NECAP state assessment.
Clicking on the links below will open PDF, Rich Text Format (RTF) or Microsoft Word documents that reside on the NECAP Web site: |
