Constructive Assessment in Mathematics
Improve Your Classroom Assessment Practices Emphasizing that assessment is "something teachers are doing all the time," author David Clarke provides an encouraging and realistic approach to improving classroom assessment practices in a way that does justice to mathematics, while always keeping the primary focus on students learning. Assessment in mathematics has undergone radical change in response to new thinking about both the nature of school mathematics and the nature and purposes of assessment. In Constructive Assessment in Mathematics, Clarke distills current thinking and best practices to show how you can use a wide variety of techniques to make assessment an integral and constructive part of your instruction. This concise and practical look at assessment in mathematics includes:- Guide to selecting and implementing assessment strategies (including observational assessment, traditional time-restricted tests, student-constructed tests, group assessment, student self-assessment, student journals, projects, and portfolios)
- Tips for recording, interpreting, and communicating assessment information
- Annotated bibliography of assessment resources
- Continuum of mathematical tasks suitable for assessment, with examples drawn from sources in several countries
