Measurement in School Mathematics 1976 Yearbook

The sample assessment items in this volume are sorted according to the strands of number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis and probability. Because one goal of assessment is to determine students abilities to communicate mathematically, the writing team suggests ways to extend or modify multiple-choice and short-answer items to elicit students thinking. The writers also present various rubrics as examples of how teachers might score extended-response questions. When students know in advance how their answers will be evaluated, they will strive to meet expected criteria. The hope is that teachers will find this material useful as they plumb their students thinking and consider how students responses can guide their instructional decisions.

This sampler presents assessment tasks that are appropriate for use with students from age 4 through age 8. The book provides teachers of primary grades mathematics with examples of assessment tasks that reflect the various ways assessments can be used prior to, during, and following mathematics instruction. Teachers can then consider the potential of these tasks to uncover the mathematical understandings of their students for the purpose of planning further instruction. Each task can be altered by changing the context, breaking the task into subparts, limiting the scope or complexity of the task, or extending the task to provide more challenge or enhance the depth of understanding being assessed.

Mathematics Assessment Sampler, Prekindergarten-Grade 2 by Deann Huinker (2006-01-01)

DeAnn Huinker

Focus in Grades 3-5 is the first book in a series that will show teachers how they can incorporate NCTM's Curriculum Focal Points for PreK-8 into their current mathematics curricula. The book provides practical ideas, sample student work, and a sample state math curricula organized around the focal points. By focusing more intensely on fewer topics at each grade level, students gain a deeper understanding of mathematical ideas. This volume will help teachers think about what a focused curriculum means and how they might begin to build focus into their existing curricula.

Part of the NCTM series, Teaching with Curriculum Focal Points, this book shows teachers how they can incorporate the Curriculum Focal Points for PreK-8 into their current mathematics curricula. The book provides practical ideas, sample student work, and sample state math curriculum organized around the Focal Points. This volume will help teachers think about what a focused curriculum means and how they might begin to build focus into their existing curriculum.

After reading Catalyzing Change in Early Childhood and Elementary Mathematics: Initiating Critical Conversations, you're energized and eager to join the "conversations." Where to start? This accompanying resource guide extracts the core content of the book into graphic charts and images, quotes, lists, and reflections so you can be in the conversation, whether it's striking up a chat with a colleague or participating in a formal group discussion. The basis of catalyzing change-the four key recommendations-are prominent elements of the first page of the Catalyzing Change in Early Childhood and Elementary Mathematics Resource Guide along with the "whys" catalyzing change is so crucial to early-childhood- and elementary-school-age children's mathematics education. Each recommendation has its own summary page, including what it entails and how to move it forward. You'll find this handy tool invaluable as you join the conversation and become a part of the future of mathematics education.
