Chapter 5 Review Creating Assessments for Learning by Alyssa Grover https://padlet.com/zombieunicornlover/dhg8n9c3w0t9 By: Kaitlyn Ramirez, MuHua Wu, Cecilia Goldtooth, Alyssa Grover, & Blanca Sebastian en-us 2016-10-20 18:00:16 UTC 2026-01-24 20:31:27 UTC hello@padlet.com Using Assessment & Evaluation Strategies To Support Students zombieunicornlover https://padlet.com/zombieunicornlover/dhg8n9c3w0t9/wish/132176564 2016-10-20 18:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/zombieunicornlover/dhg8n9c3w0t9/wish/132176564 What is an Assessment? zombieunicornlover https://padlet.com/zombieunicornlover/dhg8n9c3w0t9/wish/132177214 Assessment is defined as applying the knowledge and the full understanding for the student to grasp on. 
Assessment can “make learning visible” if not restricted to quizzes and tests.

In order for Assessments to be useful, teachers must know how to act on the evidence revealed in an assessment or set of assessments to address the learning needs of the students.

  • Assessments should enhance student learning and align with the distinction between assessment of learning, where students are only evaluated on what they know at a given point. 
  • Assessment is not separate from instruction instead it should be included with math practices
  • Two major categories: Summative or Formative
    • Summative assessments are cumulative evaluations that might generate a single score, such as an end-of-unit test or standardized test
    •  Formative assessment used to check the status of students development during instructional activities or to attempt to identify students naive understandings or misconceptions  it also helps increase the speed of the students learning by providing targeted feedback to the student. 1) Identify Where the student is 2) Identify the goal 3) Identify a path to reach the goal
    4. Conceptual Understanding and  Procedural Fluency
    • Understanding that the student know how to solve a problem with mastery

    -One way to communicate to students that the processes/practices are important is to craft a list of rubric statements about doing mathematics so  they can recognize what you expect
    -Strategic Reasoning
    Problem solving, reasoning, communication, connections, and representation

    6.  Observations : Over long periods of growth teachers can note in mathematical processes or practices such as a problem-solving modeling, or reasoning. 

    7. Interviews: Allows teachers to get in depth information about an individual student’s knowledge and mental strategies about concepts

Tasks: refers to a variety of written products, including problem-based tasks, journal entries, student self-assessments, and tests

    • Example: Problem based tasks are tasks that are connected to actual problem solving activities used in instruction

    • 9. Rubrics and Their Uses

    • A rubric consist of of a scale based on predetermined criteria
    • It permits the student to see what is central to excellent performance
    • It provides the teacher with scoring guidelines that support analysis of student work
    • Scoring compares student work  by established criteria set in advance
    • Grading is summarizing a student's performance through the accumulation of a variety of scores and data about their understanding of important concepts and skills

    10. Generic Rubrics

    • Identify broad categories of performance instead of specific criteria for a particular task
    • Task Specific Rubrics
    • Include specific statements, also know as performance indicators that describe what students work should look like on each level of the rubric

  • I found it interesting on how the chapter described the two categories of assessments, for example “summative” and “formative”. I found reading about the rubric part in assessment was very important to understand and how it is really useful to use when scoring and grading. 

  • Reading through the chapter it was clear on how important assessments are in math in order to see how a student is doing.  At the end of the chapter it broke down on how you should give an assessment through a rubric.

  • Write a word problem that matches the equations
  • Illustrate the equation with materials, models or drawings
  • Explain their process of arriving at answer of the meaning of the operation
