Result
Glass Artist
Geometry
Origami
This E.L.O. leveraged a relationship with a stained-glass artist who helped the students create “mathematically correct artwork.” The final project was in glass, with design work done in origami, exploring trigonometric functions, polygons and polyhedra .
Can Math BE Art?
ELO Example: Geogami
Individual + Group ELO
1 Credit Geometry
Semester (4 months)
ELO Example: Geogami
Standards targeted included: • Solve problems involving perimeter, circumference and area of two-
dimensional figures circumference. • Solves problems on and off the coordinate plane involving distance,
midpoint, perpendicular and parallel lines, or slope. • Makes and defends conjectures, constructs geometric arguments, uses
geometric properties, or uses theorems to solve problems involving angles, lines, polygons, circles, or right triangle ratios.

Validity and Reliability
• Validity: The assessment measures what it intends to measure
• Reliability: The assessment yields consistent results. High reliability is a function of specificity, careful development, and good administration of the assessment, not a function of the form of the assessment.
• Reliability is a requisite for validity.
Moderation Process
• Development – Specificity – Quantitative and Qualitative
• Testing – Consensus Moderation
• Implementation – Guidelines for consistency
Valid and reliable assessment of uncommon learning
Three Stages for Use of the Process Rubrics
1. Planning Stage “What’s Expected?”
2. Along the way (Formative Stage) “Where am I?”
3. Finally (Summative Stage) “Met? Not Yet?”
