NOTES TO TEACHERS
This series of Quizlets is meant to be used for classroom formative assessment. Different from tools to evaluate student learning
summatively, they are meant to be used by teachers as a part of the instructional process.
Some features of these Quizlets are:
 The Quizlets are fully aligned with the Benchmarks.
 Each Quizlet is has a variety of item types: multiple choice (MC), multiple response (MR), short response (SR) and
performance-based (PB).
 The Quizlets were created using Microsoft® Word so that they can be modified.
 Item stems and graphic organizers can be used to create additional assessments that are aligned to the benchmarks.
Quizlets can be used to identify benchmarks where students are struggling or identify individual students who need additional learning
opportunities.

The student exhibits no major errors or omissions at
sixth grade level by:

6.SMC.NS.3.1-1.b Showing that positive and negative
numbers are used together to describe quantities having
opposite directions or values by showing an
understanding of changing position on the number line.

6 SMP.7.c Looking for and making use of structure by
showing the relationship of the changing positions on a
number line.
The student exhibits major errors or omissions regarding
the more complex ideas and processes, but makes no
major errors or omissions regarding the simpler details
and processes at sixth grade level, including:

6.SMC.NS.3.1-1.b Show that positive and negative
numbers are used together by changing position on the
number line.

6 SMP.7.c Being unclear of the relationship of A and B on
a number line.
With help, the student demonstrates partial
understanding of some of the score 2.0 elements and
some of the score 3.0 elements at the sixth grade level.
Even with help, the student demonstrates little
understanding of skills.
