BSED MATHEMATICS II
4.4 Demonstrate competence in designing, constructing and utilizing different
forms of assessment in mathematics.
OBJECTIVE TESTS:
PROBLEM-SOLVING TASKS:
PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS:
Design tasks or projects that involve mathematical reasoning, analysis, and application.
For example, students could be asked to create a mathematical model, conduct a
statistical analysis, or design an experiment to test a hypothesis. Performance
assessments allow students to demonstrate their understanding of mathematical
concepts in authentic contexts.
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:
TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED ASSESSMENT:
DIFFERENTIATED ASSESSMENTS:
Consider students' diverse learning needs and abilities when designing assessments.
Provide accommodations or modifications as needed to ensure that all students have
equitable opportunities to demonstrate their mathematical understanding.
Portfolio Assessment:
Implement portfolio assessments where students compile samples of their work over
time, showcasing their problem-solving strategies, mathematical reasoning, and
conceptual understanding. Portfolios allow for a comprehensive view of students'
mathematical abilities and growth.
Performance Tasks:
Peer Assessment:
Integrate peer assessment activities where students provide feedback to their peers on
mathematical tasks or projects. Peer assessment encourages collaboration,
communication, and critical thinking while allowing students to take an active role in
evaluating each other's work.
Self-Assessment:
Encourage students to reflect on their own learning and assess their strengths,
weaknesses, and areas for improvement in mathematics. Self-assessment helps
students take ownership of their learning process and develop metacognitive skills.
Performance-Based Interviews:
Conduct one-on-one or small group interviews where students verbally explain their
problem-solving strategies and mathematical reasoning. Performance-based interviews
provide insights into students' thought processes and allow for more personalized
assessment.
Authentic Assessments:
Explore interactive simulations, digital games, and online platforms that offer engaging
and interactive ways to assess students' mathematical skills and understanding.
Interactive assessments can enhance student motivation and engagement while
providing valuable insights into their learning process.
Monitor students' progress over time by comparing assessment results from different
points in the school year. Track individual student growth and identify trends in overall
class performance to inform instructional decision-making.
Reflect on Teaching Practices:
We can also use individualized feedback which provides personalized feedback that is
tailored to each student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning needs. Address specific
misconceptions or errors in students' work and offer suggestions for improvement.
By providing timely and constructive feedback, educators can empower students to take
ownership of their learning, address areas of weakness, and achieve greater success in
mathematics.
