Attached are the slides from an engageny powerpoint that contain ?the pizza question? and the annotated student work slide.
Also, someone had asked about the timeline for testing. That has been updated on engageny and can be found here:
http://engageny.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ccsstimeline.pdf
And there was one more slide that caught my attention this week that stated that scope and sequence guidance would be available this summer.
Best wishes,
Dianne

That sample problem is also available with annotated student work (I'm not sure what website...probably the same one-but I have a copy of it). It's unclear to me whether students actually did the work on the sample response, though.

Apparently for the superintendents Dr. King didn't feel he had to show
them a coherent sample problem. Online I found the following problem,
which I assume is the source for Dr. King's (mangled) example:
Tito and Luis are stuffed with pizza! Tito ate one-fourth of a
cheese pizza. Tito ate
three-eighths of a pepperoni pizza. Tito ate one-half of a
mushroom pizza. Luis ate
five-eighths of a cheese pizza and the other half of the
mushroom pizza. All the pizzas
were the same size. Tito says he ate more pizza than Luis
because Luis did not eat any
pepperoni pizza. Luis says they each ate the same amount of
pizza. Who is correct? Show
all your mathematical thinking.
Not the best problem I've ever seen, but at least it is a math problem.
