Direct linkKohler, Brynja; Alibegovic, Emina – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
Continual assessment of student understanding is a crucial aspect of teaching. The adoption of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) represents raised expectations for the level and depth of mathematical understanding that is expected of our students. But new standards also mean new tests. What those tests will be like is of…

McGatha, Maggie B.; Darcy, Peg – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2010
For assessment to be useful for students, it must give them feedback that will help them move to the next level of proficiency; in other words, it must be "formative." Many teachers are finding that rubrics are useful as a formative assessment tool. Teachers can use rubrics to analyze student work so that they can plan their instruction and…

Alexander, Cathleen M.; Ambrose, Rebecca C. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2010
When students are asked to write original story problems about fractional amounts, it can illustrate their misunderstandings about fractions. Think about the situations students would describe to model 1/2 + 2/3. Three elements, in particular, challenge students: (1) Which of three models (region, or area; measure; or set) is best suited for a…

Maxwell, Vicki L.; Lassak, Marshall B. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2008
Standard classroom tests tend to showcase what students know at that point in time and do not usually reflect real-life mathematics. They are not always accurate indicators of what students understand and how they understand it. Portfolios are tools that allow students a better opportunity to exhibit mathematical growth in understanding and…

Peer reviewedReys, Barbara J.; Kim, Ok-Kyeong; Bay, Jennifer M. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 1999
Recommends conducting interviews with students in order to grasp their understanding of fractions and provides interview questions. Presents results of a study using those interview questions and concludes student responses fell into three main categories: (1) described a mental image of an object; (2) drew a model of the fraction using a circle…
