Measures The Measures task allows students to demonstrate their ability to estimate measurements. Students will estimate the length of objects and them will actually measure them. Students will complete this task working one on one with a teacher-administrator. The resources required for this task are a ruler, a measuring tape, and objects (a bolt, a pencil, a stick, and a ribbon). This task is a part of the Measurement task series from 2001. This task is classified as a trend task by NEMP. Trend tasks are used to examine trends in student performance: whether they have improved, stayed constant or declined over the four-year period since the previous assessments. |
