The Florida ExploreLearning Professional Development Team has created supplemental resources to help teachers and students prepare for the upcoming Florida Math Assessments. These resources were designed carefully to help prepare students for various computer-based question mechanisms on the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) while targeting content standards. Select sample item stems from various sources, such as the Florida Department of Education (DOE), have been paired with ExploreLearning Gizmos. A response mechanism is targeted for each sample item stem. Gizmo suggestions are offered for whole classroom teacher and student use.
