Assessment+Draft


 * Assessment Draft: ** In addition to the 4-page proposal please provide a draft of the summative assessment of your mini-unit. Identify a set of math tasks/problems (**5 questions or less – think quiz**) that you believe your students should be able to solve upon completion of your instruction. __Alignment with the learning goals and your understanding of the mathematical ideas and learning issues is key here.__

The assessment should help you think about the lessons you will need to design to prepare students for the assessment (i.e. proposal step 4 above). Key questions to think about:

• What do I want my students to know and be able to do? • Does this assessment match what I want my students to learn?

Please provide a scoring rubric for your draft assessment (e.g. Below; Approaching; Meeting; Exceeding). Be as specific as you can. See VDW p. 80-84 for ideas.

1. Please group the following items into one of the these catagories: Impossible, Possible or Certain The sun will rise tomorrow. The next baby born in Puyallup will be a girl. It will rain snails tomorrow. The next US president will be over 21 years old. It will rain tomorrow. Trees will talk to us this afternoon. Five students will be absent tomorrow. You will get an A in math this year.

Bonus credit if you add an original item of your own to each catagory.

2. We want to use the matching plot line with spinners from VDW page 458. We will make our version for the final draft. 3. I think we should have them find the sample space for a two event experiment such as flipping a coin and rolling a fair die.
