2. What is GRASP performance
assessment?
GRASPS is a model for demonstrating
performance of understanding using
authentic assessments. It is one of many
performance of understanding models, but
is ideally suited to the kind of project-based
inquiries we do in design.
3. How GRASP is done?
This is often done through tests, essays,
or projects. Performance assessments
evaluate a student based on their ability to
demonstrate their mastery of knowledge or
skills through tasks, rather than choosing an
answer from a ready-made list.
4. Topic in Math - Integers
Goal:
Students will demonstrate a deep understanding of integers by
applying mathematical operations and solving real-world problems
involving positive and negative numbers.
Role:
You are a mathematician working on a project that involves financial
transactions. Your task is to accurately calculate and analyze the
integer values associated with these transactions.
5. Audience:
Your project manager and team members who rely on your
mathematical expertise for precise calculations in financial
data.
Situation:
You have been provided with a set of financial transactions
involving both income and expenses. Each transaction is
represented by an integer value, where positive values
denote income, and negative values represent expenses.
6. Product:
Create a comprehensive report that includes the following:
Summarize the total income and total expenses.
Calculate the net income (income - expenses).
Identify the transaction with the highest income and the one with the
highest expense.
Provide explanations for the mathematical operations used in your
calculations.
Performance and Criteria:
You will be assessed based on the accuracy of your calculations, clarity in
presenting results, and the depth of your explanations. Additionally,
demonstrate an understanding of how positive and negative integers relate to
financial scenarios.
7. Scoring Rubric:
Accuracy (50 points): Correct calculation of total
income, total expenses, net income, and
identification of highest income and expense
transactions.
Clarity (30 points): Clearly organized and
presented report.
Explanation (20 points): Thorough explanations of
the mathematical operations used.
