Download or read book Mathematics Assessment Sampler Grades 9 12 written by Betty Travis and published by National Council of Teachers of English. This book was released on 2005 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is intended to supply teachers with sample assessment items that produce an accurate picture of their students’ thinking, to guide teachers’ instructional decisions and to serve as models for creating original assessment items. The items are selected or modified from state, national and international assessments; textbooks; private collections of mathematics educators and originally written problems. The types of items include multiple choice, short response and extended response. All items either require students to explain their answers or ask comparative questions among answer choices. Some items are scaffolded so that all students have access to them; only a few items require the use of a calculator. Selected samples of student work either exemplify a correct response or typify certain categories of student errors.

Download or read book Mathematics Assessment Sampler Grades 6 8 written by Beth Cole and published by National Council of Teachers of English. This book was released on 2005 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of sample assessment items contains items compiled from many sources, including state and provincial assessments, sorted into the strands of number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement and data analysis and probability. Because students are assessed on standardised tests with multiple-choice items, the writing team chose samples of such items as well as explanations for those problems designed to give students opportunities to demonstrate their skills and understanding. “Teacher notes” to suggest ideas for making multiple-choice items more meaningful and a variety of rubrics, are also included. In addition, the professional development chapter is designed to help in-service and preservice teachers understand and use levels of complexity for particular problems, use and adapt multiple-choice items, use assessment tasks as an in-service topic, employ scoring rubrics, use technology in assessment and design their own assessment items.

Download or read book Teaching Secondary and Middle School Mathematics written by Daniel J. Brahier and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Secondary and Middle School Mathematics combines the latest developments in research, technology, and standards with a vibrant writing style to help teachers prepare for the excitement and challenges of teaching secondary and middle school mathematics. The book explores the mathematics teaching profession by examining the processes of planning, teaching, and assessing student progress through practical examples and recommendations. Beginning with an examination of what it means to teach and learn mathematics, the reader is led through the essential components of teaching, concluding with an examination of how teachers continue with professional development throughout their careers. Hundreds of citations are used to support the ideas presented in the text, and specific websites and other resources are presented for future study by the reader. Classroom scenarios are presented to engage the reader in thinking through specific challenges that are common in mathematics classrooms. The seventh edition has been updated and expanded with particular emphasis on the latest technology, standards, and other resources. The reader is introduced to the ways that students think and how to best meet their needs through planning that involves attention to differentiation, as well as how to manage a classroom for success. Features include: • Following on from the sixth edition, assessment takes a central role in planning and teaching. Unit 3 (of 5) addresses the use of summative and formative assessments to inform classroom teaching practices. • A new appendix is included that lists websites that can be used in a methods class to view other teachers interacting with students for discussion of effective teaching practices. • The feature entitled “Links and Resources” has been updated in each of the 13 chapters. Five strongly recommended and practical resources are spotlighted at the end of each chapter as an easy reference to some of the most important materials on the topic. • Approximately 150 new citations have either replaced or been added to the text to reflect the latest in research, materials, and resources that support the teaching of mathematics. • Significant revisions have been made to Chapter 12, which now includes updated research and practices as well as a discussion on culturally responsive pedagogy. Likewise, Chapter 8 now includes a description of best and high-leverage teaching practices, and a discussion in Chapter 11 on alternative high school mathematics electives for students has been added. • Chapter 9, on the practical use of classroom technology, has again been revised to reflect the latest tools available to classroom teachers, including apps that can be run on handheld personal devices, in light of changes in education resulting from the global pandemic. An updated Instructor’s Manual features a test bank, sample classroom activities, PowerPoint slide content, chapter summaries, and learning outcomes for each chapter, and can be accessed by instructors online at www.routledge.com/9781032472867.

Download or read book Teaching Mathematics in Grades 6 12 written by Randall E. Groth and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2012-08-10 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey into the vibrant and intriguing world of mathematics education Teaching Mathematics in Grades 6 - 12 explores how research in mathematics education can inform teaching practice in grades 6-12. The author shows secondary mathematics teachers the value of being a researcher in the classroom by constantly experimenting with methods for developing students′ mathematical thinking and then connecting this research to practices that enhance students′ understanding of the material. The chapters in Part I introduce secondary teachers to the field of mathematics education with cross-cutting issues that apply to teaching and learning in all mathematics content areas. The chapters in Part II are devoted to specific mathematics content strands and describe how students think about mathematical concepts. The goal of the text is to have secondary math teachers gain a deeper understanding of the types of mathematical knowledge their students bring to grade 6 – 12 classrooms, and how students′ thinking may develop in response to different teaching strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines identity theory’s centrality within social psychology and its foundations within structural symbolic interaction, highlighting its links not only to other prominent sociological subfields, but also to other theoretical perspectives within and beyond sociology. The book provides a synthetic overview outlining the intellectual lineage of identity theory within structural symbolic interactionism, and how the “Indiana School” of identity theory and research, associated especially with Sheldon Stryker, relates to other symbolic interactionist traditions within sociology. It also analyses the latest developments in response to the push to integrate identity theory, which initially focused on role identities, with the study of personal, group and social identities. Further, it discusses the relationship between identity theory and affect control theory, providing a sense of the many substantive topics within sociology beyond social psychology for which the study of identity has important, sometimes underappreciated implications. The book concludes with a chapter summarizing the interrelated lessons learned while also reflecting on remaining key questions and challenges for the future development of identity theory.
