The table shows that there are four (4) authentic assesssment methodologies which are classified under Assessment As Learning. There are two assessment methodologies under Mathematical Investigation and Modeling and one for each of the subjects Seminar in Problem Solving and Instrumentation in Mathematics.
My Math Binder, My Math Journey. The basis of conceptualizing the “My Math Binder: My Math Journey” are the portfolio making and journal and reflection writing. The similarity with portfolio is the collection of assessment result, the materials utilized and the reflection writing.
This assessment methodology is utilized in the topic “Demonstration Teaching and Portfolio Making” in the Mathematics subject Seminar in Problem Solving. The students

Creating reflections requires critical thinking and designing the Math binder requires creativity and innovativeness. Information, media and technology skills are also enhanced since the students need to access information, utilize them as a basis in making their reflection. Passing their binder on time with desired quality requires skills such as initiative, self direction, leadership and responsibility, productivity and accountability.
The outcomes of the “My Math Binder, My Math Journey” are learners who can effectively and creatively express themselves in writing, are reflective and learn from their experiences, hence, self-renewing. They can create a binder and effectively identify their strengths and weaknesses.
The NCBTS domains integrated are curriculum and planning, assessing and reporting. The making of the Math binder is an exposure to innovative assessment methodologies which may vary from the usual authentic assessment methodologies

Lastly, it is localized since it is anchored on their experiences in the previous assessment methodologies and made use of localized and indigenized material to design their Math Binder.
Room Interior Completion/Renovation. The “Room Interior Completion/Renovation” as an authentic assessment methodology is patterned from several existing authentic assessment methodologies used by Mathematics teachers. These are the use of tools and measuring instruments in Mathematics, gather data and compute, floor planning and drawing techniques. This assessment methodology captured several assessment practices like letting the students measure areas, compute for the number of tiles needed for the floor as well as paint for the wall. The said assessment methodology is used in the subject “Instrumentation in Mathematics” in the topic “ Utilizing Measuring Devices and Converting one unit to the other”. The students will assume the role of a new class adviser who will measure the floor area of the room and the area of the walls. This will be the basis of preparing a scale model to be submitted to the principal for funding
Guided Practice PERFORMANCE TASK(S): The students are expected to learn the Commutative and Associative properties of addition and subtraction during this unit. This unit would be the beginning of the students being able to use both properties up to the number fact of 20. The teacher would model the expectations and the way the work is to be completed through various examples on the interactive whiteboard. Students would be introduced to the properties, be provided of their definitions, and then be walked through a step by step process of how equations are done using the properties.
This is done now through the process of having a two assessment category- formative and summative. Both of these categories are used to determine the student’s quarter and semester grade. The summative category would be based on four common assessments, and one of these must be a performance task. As for formative assessments, this would show students the progress that they have made in mastering the material that would appear during the summative exam. He continues by saying that the school has realized that they can no longer control student’s grades based on behavioral infractions.
On September 20, 2016, John W. Burton talked about, Using Math in the Real World: what your professors won’t tell you about life after graduation. John Burton talks about his experiences after he graduated from Longwood University on how he used his degree in mathematics. First, he talks about bucket of marbles and goes thru what an athlete, art, and math majors would do with the marbles. Each major would do something different with the marbles athlete would play a game, art major would make a sculpture, and as math major we would count and organize them then find the probability for the different marbles. As math majors, we use problem solving to solve are problems in school and in life.
The first article acknowledge One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish is in a mathematics way by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Many people assume that, when you read this book it will grab the kid’s attention, then after that engagement the students in math class will use the related math problems in the book that has a diverse range of key mathematical concepts. According to the teachers for children mathematics, their teaching passion revolves around engaging games and activities that can extend a student thinking. In other words fun activities help students engage with more desire to learn, believes children do need different kinds of educational performances especially grades 3rd through 6th. Of course, mathematics are
For example, this form of assessment can be used on a larger scale for the purpose of identifying where a school stands in comparison to other schools. Finally, in the film study option I witnessed how Assessment for Learning, or summative assessment was applied to student presentations. In this scenario summative assessment was use in performance task. The form of assessment I observed was task specific, meaning students were asked to complete a task that will test a specific skills. Often this form of assessment is accompanied by a rubric, which teachers can use as a guide for grading, and students can use a check list they can refer to while completing the
I’m in the halls of Century Middle School, where there are not enough classrooms for everybody. In this tiny school in a little city up in Colorado I’m stuck teaching math, wondering what boring surprises I will find. Of all the subjects. I just had to pick this one. The one that I have always despised, and tolerated, throughout my whole life.
Figure 1 is a summary of the students’ learning throughout the learning segment. I administrated this test as a pre-assessment prior to the lesson one and administered it again after the completion of lesson 3. This test is a compilation of students’ learning and it demonstration how they met the standards and objectives that were set out for them to achieve. The evaluation criteria in which this assessment and all other assessment in the individual lessons did was not altered. Even though the students have different learning needs, the assessment met all of the needs for all learners.
In Mathematical Mindsets by Jo Boaler, current and future educators learn all about the different outlooks children have on math and ways their adult piers put unknowingly force that upon them. The author, Joe Boaler, is a mathematical teacher who has had the opportunity of teaching elementary students. She has a doctorate degree from Stanford and has done studies of her own classroom taking a deeper look into how math is most effective in the classroom. Americans tend to have a skewed perspective that math consists solely of equations and rules that must be followed (Boaler 34). Kids are praised for being smart and gifted in math when in fact “…there is no such thing as a ‘math brain’ or a math gift’ as many believe.
I accumulated scores from state tests, my placement tests, and student records, therefore I know the skill levels of my students range from grade 2-6. Because of this skill deficit, I incorporate basic skill practice such as measuring with a ruler, orally defining basic terms, and discussion before writing. To reach students learning styles and to promote social skills I use modeling, working with a peer and physical activity. Knowing most of my students have unstable homes I do not assign homework. Since there are diverse learning gaps, and all students are either kinesthetic or auditory learners. I plan for discussion and hands-on learning.
By using the assessment, I can recognize what I need to do in order to develop several skills such as communication or attitude. After the assessment, I got the result of “ISJT”, which means introversion, sensing, thinking,
2:1 Compare the strengths and limitations of assessments of a range of assessment methods with reference to the needs of individual learners. Workplace Observations, question and answer/professional discussions, projects/assignments, portfolios, witness statements. A good assessor will always take into account their learners needs and what particular subject they are studying for prior to confirming with learner type of assessment method to be used. Workplace observations
Reflective Practice in the Early Years Tools for Practitioners 1. Introduction “We do not learn from experience... we learn from reflecting on experience.” -John Dewey- You have probably heard the term “reflective practice”, but do you really know what this means?
Introduction: Reflection is a part of daily process of learning and thinking. As stated by Jasper, (2003), the reflection is “…the way that we learn from an experience in order to understand and develop practice”. It is useful in dealing with challenges and can be used as a tool for personal and professional development. Moreover, a convoluted process of writing experiences and learning from any event and understanding of its usefulness in future is, defined as Reflective writing. The theoretical model which is often used as a framework for reflective writing was created by Professor Graham Gibbs (1988) and is known as Gibb’s reflective cycle.
Authentic assessments should be tied to real-world contexts and require the student to “do” the subject. For example after a Math lesson on telling time to have the students complete a “time” worksheet. Tell each child to write their beginning time and once they
For a while, imagine you stay in an environment which is constant in all terms whether its seasons, routine, the way you do your dress or edibles you intake; everything is just same as it was the previous day. Wouldn 't it become intolerable to survive in such circumstances, snatching vividness and our zeal & goal to live life? This interminable assumption gives us the thoughtful sketch of an importance of diversity in our lives. Diversity is a wizard which keeps the human race going, which we face in the form of globalization and better understanding towards it is something we want to attain through global education.
