Choosing an OGAP item
to use with a particular lesson is a skill you will hone as you understand and internalize the OGAP Frameworks and as you gain experience choosing and using OGAP items. Keep in mind there is not "one right" item, rather there are numerous choices based on the lesson and the learning goals you want to address. Almost any question you choose will provide you with some evidence of your students' developing understandings and needs that can help you reflect on your instruction and make informed instructional decisions. One way to begin exploring the item bank is by selecting a particular problem context, like Counting Quantities, Equal Groups or Ratios. Remember that your framework lists the problem contexts in the purple box and also provides examples on the front or back. Once you've chosen a context, scroll through the items to pick one that seems like it reflects the right level of difficulty and complexity for your students.
See the chart below for suggested sections of the
Item Banks to begin the school year for each grade level:

If you aren't already doing so, try using an OGAP item as an exit question for one of your math lessons this week. Choose an item from the item bank, and administer the item to your class at the end of a lesson. How do your students' responses compare to what you expected? Did anything surprise you? Was the item a good choice for an exit slip for this lesson? Why or why not?
