Select a PARCC sample question and make a copy for each group to work on. The question will mostly be content from the current SS Module but once in a while there will be a question that isn't. They will have 5 minutes to solve the problem together. Then 10 minutes will spent on analyzing the problem. This will give students support from their peers to move them to analyzing the work independently.

Tenmarks.com has very similar PARCC questions. Students would have accounts and would be used as a math center or during an open lab.

Open Lab to pull up PARCC question to do a close read. Have students dispute wrong answers and provide EVIDENCe for the answer(s) that is correct.

Morning review/problem of the day would be replaced by a sample PARCC question. This would go into their morning journals. Strategies would be modeled by the teacher (process of elimination, for example).

Go through the Practice Tests sequentially and strategically (in sections each week, for example). Example: 15 minutes in lab, 4 problem.

Review with students: look at a PARCC practice test and examine familiar questions to incorporate a 5 day cycle of practice (4 days) and quiz (1 day).

Use the "thumb print" cards for a quick-look assessment of student responses. It's a subtle strategy that gives the teacher immediate feedback.

Use tenmarks.com. The math questions are identical to many of the types of questions students will see on PARCC. Using this as a math station, during Open Lab time, or as homework, students can encounter PARCC style questions all year long and you can easily monitor individual student progress. This is a great data collecting tool, too!

When students are more familiar with the practice test, start using timed practice sessions to approximate the testing experience.

Assign PARCC practice test problems to groups of students.Have them study and figure out solutions, teach the whole class, switch on other days, etc. Maybe work on this once a week during Open Lab time.
