For example, you might ask students to create a polynomial function that would require the  quadratic formula to find solutions. 

Also, you could ask students to justify each step of their solving process. 

You could ask students to create an oblique triangle with measurements that would yield an ambiguous case when solving using the Law of Sines. ]]> 2021-10-26 23:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/carter_catherine/SMCAssessment2021/wish/1846506098 versoi_kendra https://padlet.com/carter_catherine/SMCAssessment2021/wish/1846506196 I think all problems show some form of understanding.  Obviously more open ended questions, real world examples show a higher level of understanding

If a student truly understands something then they should be able to make connections between related concepts and use those connections to solve a problem or create something. ]]> 2021-10-26 23:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/carter_catherine/SMCAssessment2021/wish/1846507940 versoi_kendra https://padlet.com/carter_catherine/SMCAssessment2021/wish/1846508799 I think it depends on what I am assessing and what is appropriate for that standard.  For example explaining what you remember about the pythagorean theorem or quadratic formula is perfect for both of these topics. You can have someone explain the process of factoring, where it is you, what it finds on the graph but I still like to see a student factor a problem and then explain what type of problem factoring is used in and why. ]]> 2021-10-26 23:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/carter_catherine/SMCAssessment2021/wish/1846508799 https://padlet.com/carter_catherine/SMCAssessment2021/wish/1846510667 In order to be convinced of student understanding, I need them to show me in a variety of different ways. Make connections, relationships between ideas]]> 2021-10-26 23:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/carter_catherine/SMCAssessment2021/wish/1846510667
