An assessment for math 70
Here on the main campus we have been having a lot of conversations about what does it mean for students to understand fractions and negative numbers, prompted in part by some student work. I cooked up an assessment that we could consider as a tool for discussion. it’s attached.
Namely, as you look through it, consider these questions:
*Does each questions ask the students to…
-Evaluate potential solutions for appropriateness, accuracy, and suitability to the context of the original problem.
-Provide oral, written, and/or symbolic explanations of the reasoning used to obtain a solution.
-Make and justify a multi-step mathematical argument providing appropriate evidence at each step.
And could you point exactly to what part of the question asks the student to do those things (or not).
