Book excerpt: ′Unlike many books based on research work this book doesn′t just let teachers know what is going wrong with children′s learning it actually gives some practical advice about what to do next. The whole book is based upon extensive observation and recording of individual children and their difficulties with mathematics. These children are the most difficult to plan for in a busy classroom and the authors appreciate the small steps and the different learning styles approaches needed for these children. This approach fits well with the NNS wave and springboard materials but takes the analysis of the individual′s difficulties to a more detailed level. The book brings together research carried out across a range of countries and therefore shows the versatility of the approaches taken. This will be a very useful book for trainee teachers as it exemplifies how to use assessment to feed into teaching. It will be helpful for class teachers and mathematics co-ordinators as well as SENCOs to assist in improving the teaching and learning for specific children in our schools′ - Mary Briggs, Primary and Early Years PGCE Co-ordinator, Institute of Education, University of Warwick ′This is a highly practical resource that will be appreciated by classroom and specialist teachers alike. It will provide teachers new to the Math Recovery program with practical help and support to diagnose errors and misconceptions in early numeracy. Practicing Math Recovery Specialists will be thrilled with the addition of four new highly focused assessments and an elaboration of the Learning Framework in Number. Early Numeracy is admirably grounded in international research and well-established theory, characteristics that are much sought after in the current data driven educational environment. Like many others, I was drawn to Math Recovery after reading the first edition of Early Numeracy. This second edition is a treasure - it is exciting to consider the impact it will have on children and teachers, and to the growth of the Math Recovery program′ - Audrey Murray, Lead Teacher, Midwest Math Recovery Training Center, Minneapolis This text has been fully updated to include developments and refinements brought about by widespread international application of the assessment tools in the Mathematics Recovery Programme. The book will help practitioners to identify and provide detailed analyses of all children but especially those who are able and those who underachieve in early numeracy. It will enable teachers, learning support personnel, numeracy consultants and educational psychologists to advise colleagues and parents on children′s number knowledge and strategies for early numeracy. The Mathematics Recovery Programme has been successfully applied in Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland, the United States and Canada, both in specialist interventions and classroom settings. The revised version shows how familiarisation with, and understanding of, the diagnostic assessment tools has allowed teachers to become more knowledgeable in understanding children′s difficulties and misconceptions, and more skilled and confident in planning programmes of intervention and monitoring the children′s progress. This new edition includes: - Integrated frameworks of useful tasks for assessing children′s number knowledge and strategies; - Four separate and revised diagnostic assessment interviews; - Assessments for addition and subtraction strategies, Base Ten Arithmetical strategies, Early Grouping strategies, and Advanced Grouping strategies in the four operations; - How the assessment process has impacted significantly on teachers′ professional development and contributed to the raising of standards in early numeracy.

Download or read book Pearson Mathematics written by Charlotte Wilkinson and published by . This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first of two books for students working at Level 4 of the MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS CURRICULUM. Students at this level already have good additive strategies. They should know their multiplication facts in order to develop efficient multiplicative strategies and begin to develop proportional reasoning. Number is extended into algebraic formulae and also used across the other strands of Geometry & Measurement, and Statistics. Students also develop their statistical thinking. Mathematics is all about solving problems and not about doing pages of sums, so this book provides plenty of opportunity for students to put their mathematical knowledge to work in real contexts across all the strands.

Abstract: Abstract Basic Competency Assessments (BCA) is one of the education reform measures recommended in Education Commission's Report on reform Proposals for the Education System in Hong Kong published in September 2000. It has two components, namely, the Student Assessment and the Territory-Wide System Assessment. The Student Assessment is a web-based assessment tool while the Territory-Wide System Assessment is a traditional assessment tool. The full launch of the Student Assessment was in June 2003. This is a collaborative action research conducted by 4 Primary 3 Mathematics teachers and one Curriculum Development Officer in the academic year 2003 - 2004. The main concern of the study is how assessment for learning could be applied with the web-based assessment tool of the Student Assessment so that student can benefit from it in their learning. This is basically a qualitative research. Classroom observations were primary source of data. To gather more in-depth information on students' learning, six students from a class were chosen as the focus group. Interviews were used to examine the impact on learning and teaching through the use of the web-based assessment tool. We set out the action research to find out how to use the web-based assessment tool to enhance student learning Mathematics. Then we put the tool in the context of assessment for learning as a start. Through the process, we have developed better understanding and strategies in using the web-based assessment tool to enhance learning and teaching of P.3 Mathematics. We have learnt that the Student Assessment is just one of the assessment tools. It has advantages as well as limitations. We cannot depend solely on it. We must bear in mind the specific learning needs of students and the teaching progress, apply multiple modes of school internal assessments so as to effectively and fully understand the needs and progress of students.

Download or read book Concept Mapping as an Assessment Tool for Conceptual Understanding in Mathematics written by Haiyue JIN and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the practicability and effectiveness of the concept map as a tool for assessing students’ conceptual understanding in mathematics. The author first introduces concept mapping and then employs it to investigate students’ conceptual understanding of four different mathematical topics. Alongside traditional scoring methods, she adopts Social Network Analysis, a new technique, to interpret student-constructed concept maps, which reveals fresh insights into the graphic features of the concept map and into how students connect mathematical concepts. By comparing two traditional school tests with the concept map, she examines its concurrent validity and discusses its strengths and drawbacks from the viewpoint of assessing conceptual understanding. With self-designed questionnaires, interviews, and open-ended writing tasks, she also investigates students and teachers’ attitudes toward concept mapping and describes the implications these findings may have for concept mapping’s use in school and for further research on the topic. Scholars and postgraduate students of mathematics education and teachers interested in concept mapping or assessing conceptual understanding in classroom settings will find this book an informative, inspiring, and overall valuable addition to their libraries.
