Mr. Hatch is constructing a table of specifications for his assessment instrument, which is a document that outlines what content and skills will be assessed and how they will be weighted. By specifying that he wants students to recognize examples, calculate the perimeter, and calculate the area for each of the four figures, Mr. Hatch is providing clear guidelines for the assessment and ensuring that each aspect of the unit is being evaluated. This helps increase the validity and reliability of the assessment by making it more objective and transparent.
