[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a sample test of what will be expected of 4th grade students in math, in a few months,

http://parcc.pearson.com/resources/Practice_Tests/Grade_4/Math/PC194818-001_4MTHTB_PT.pdf

Some samples:

"A team runs a race.  There are 4 people on the team.  Each person runs the same distance.   The team runs a total of 5280 feet."

Students need to solve the question (not multiple choice) and aren't allowed to use a calculator.

This seems like a pretty sensible question for fourth grade.

Can someone who thinks Common Core is developmentally inappropriate look through this test, and tell me which questions seem problematic to you?

Personally I like that so many students in 4th grade will be taking the same, sensible test -- kids in MD and MA and NY etc.   We will be able to compare results across different states -- that's really what the point of having COMMON standards was.[/quote]

OP here again.   So , just to be clear, NO ONE has any objections to the questions that are on the above linked actual practice test for the PARCC that will be administered to 4th graders in March or April of this year, 2015??
