Presentation Transcript

Slide 1: 

1 Assessing Mathematical Achievement

Slide 2: 

2 RESEARCH QUESTION 1 List 2 main factors that you feel are helping you achieve good practice in the marking and assessment of your pupils’ mathematics work.

Slide 3: 

3 Strengths Tests Homework Class Discussion Marking of Pupils’ Work Students’ Monitoring

Slide 4: 

4 Strengths Marking schemes Special homework on topic Assessment Collaboration with others Record of work

Slide 5: 

5 Strengths Coursework/assignment Units covered at University and in Inset. Use of spreadsheets Being open-minded Setting

Slide 6: 

6 Implications Teachers make use of formative assessment to improve their teaching and learning of Mathematics. The regular assigning of work to pupils helps the teaching and learning of Mathematics. Collaboration with others lead to the sharing of teaching experiences.

Slide 7: 

7 Research Question 2 List 2 main factors that you feel are hindering you achieve good practice in the marking and assessment of your pupils’ mathematics work.

Slide 8: 

8 Weaknesses Carelessness Not enough time Large amount of HW to correct. Syllabus is too vast Absenteeism

Slide 9: 

9 Weaknesses Not sure that the pupils did the work themselves Students with diverse learning abilities Large number of students in class Marking Language problem

Slide 10: 

10 Weaknesses No guide to mark and assess students Trained as a primary teacher Class correction Lack of information about previous mathematical achievement. Mathematics too challenging-pupils give up easily.

Slide 11: 

11 Implications The syllabus is too vast for some of the students. Mathematics lessons that are lost as other activities are held during the time that is officially assigned to mathematics teaching. Marking the students’ work is difficult when teachers have a full load.
