Evidence in Student Work to Inform Instruction
In this activity you wlll be using the OGAP Framework to help describe evidence
in over 20 student solutions to problems that you have encountered in previous
OGAP work.
Questions to keep in mind:

• What is the solution strategy that the student used?
• What is the evidence of that strategy?
• What structure (s) in the problem facilitated the use of a proportional
strategy or may have resulted in a student using either a transitional or
non-proportional strategy?
• What might your next instructional/assessment step be given the student
solution? (e.g., what evidence of understanding can be built on? What
else do you need to know to help make decisions about the next
instructional step? What questions can you ask to build on understanding?
What activities or models can be used?)
There are some underlying assumptions when asking about next

instruction steps:
• A student solution usually provides evidence of understanding that can be
built upon;
• One might need to collect additional information about the student
understanding as a part of the next step;
• While you are identifying next instructional steps in response to one
student response in this activity, these evidences are common across
classrooms. So when you answer questions about individual pieces of
student work in this activity think about this being an example of common
errors across groups of students that can be applied to full classrooms of
students.
• Even when a student correctly solves a problem, there are instructional
next steps to consider.
Important Note: The purpose of reviewing this work is NOT to spend time to
reliably agree about the evidences, but to give us a way to describe the evidence
that will inform instruction.

The OGAP Student Work Sort Process

There are three steps to the OGAP Student Work Sort Process. For a single
question:
STEP 1: Review and then sort the work for the class into three piles consistent
with the OGAP Proportionality Framework.
Proportional Strategies Transitional Proportional Non-Proportional
STEP 2: Record the evidence on an OGAP Item Analysis Sheet by piles.

We suggest starting with the Proportional Strategy pile of student work first and
then repeat the process for each of the other piles.
A) Record the strategy (you may want to sub sort the work first (e.g., All that
use multiplicative relationships, or unit rate) by placing the students’ #s (in
your case name, initials) that corresponds with the strategy.
B) Record any underlying issues, errors, or misconceptions evidenced
in the work by placing the students’ #s (in your case name, initials) that
corresponds with the error et al.

STEP 3: In the “Instructional notes section or on the back make some quick

9.2 Analyzing Pre-assessment Participant Directions
Goals:
• To gather evidence about strategies your students’ use when they solve
proportionality problems to inform instruction and unit planning.
• To gather evidence about any underlying issues, errors, or misconceptions found
in student pre-assessments to inform instruction and unit planning.
Materials Needed:
• 5 OGAP Proportionality Item Analysis Sheets per person stapled together (9.4)
• The Pre-assessment Analysis Directions(9.2)
• Telling the Story (9.3)
• Completed student pre-assessments
Part I: Analyzing student work and collecting evidence on OGAP Item Analysis
Sheets (2.5 hours)
In General: You will analyze each item across all your students, NOT across a student.
As with the practice in the last session you will NOT grade or score the student
responses from the pre-assessment, but will collect descriptive information on the
OGAP Item Analysis Sheet that will be used to inform instruction and unit planning.
Suggested order for analyzing pre-assessments: Please analyze items in the order
suggested below. You can see that we suggest first analyzing the rate/ratio comparison
problems, then the missing value problems, and then other item types.

As you analyze each item we suggest the following:

1) Make notes about the structures of the problem that might influence student
solutions on the fist line of an OGAP Item Analysis Sheet.

Vermont Mathematics Partnership funded by a grant provided by the US Department of Education (Award Number S366A020002)
and the National Science Foundation (Award Number EHR-0227057)
9.2 Analyzing Pre-assessment Participant Directions
2) Complete the OGAP Sort and collect evidence in the OGAP Item Analysis Sheet.
IMPORTANT: We suggest that you actually put the students’ initials on the item
analysis sheets. That way you won’t loose important individual student data as
you analyze items across the classroom of students.
3) Write comments on the “Instructional Notes” section of the OGAP Item Analysis
Sheet before moving onto the analysis of the next item.
Complete analysis of all five items in this way.
Part II: Telling the Story
After you complete the analysis of all the items in the pre-assessment address these three
questions on the Telling the Story template (9.3).
1) What are some strategies evidenced in the student work that you can build upon?
2) What are some underlying issues or concerns evidenced in the student work?
3) What are some implications for instruction?
You will use the information from this activity in the next session as you do unit
planning.
Part III: Telling the story across grades
1) Return to your school level team. In a round robin have each teacher “Tell the
Story” for the group of students that they analyzed their pre-assessments (about 5
minutes each).
2) Be prepared to discuss general observations, findings, and implications for your
school.
