This was the question that I found the most difficult as I was unsure about the spatial aspects of the question. I was not sure how many tiles would fill each of segregated sections in the square. In order to work this out, I wrote on the diagram how many triangular tiles it would take to fill each of the different sections. I felt confident with the sections that could be filled with one of the triangular tiles or two triangular tiles; however, I was not confident about how many would fill the other sections. I then worked out that the large square section in the middle of the table comprised of two lots of two triangular tiles; thus, this part required four tiles in total. Then the remaining sections were larger then two tiles, but smaller …show more content…

Firstly, the questions in the numeracy test rely heavily on the student’s prior experiences in mathematics. So, instead of testing the mathematical understanding of the student, it tests how well the student has been taught mathematics. This became apparent to me when I was completing the test, because I found the questions that I had previously been exposed to at school a lot easier to answer. In comparison, I found the questions that I had never come across a lot more difficult, even if the actual mathematics involved was at a similar complexity level. This notion reduces the validity of NAPLAN due to the fact that it assesses how well the students have been directly taught for the test, rather than the mathematical ability of the students. Another issue with NAPLAN, is that it does not solely test student’s mathematics ability because language comprehension is needed to understand the worded questions. So, students with language difficulties will be disadvantaged even if they have a sophisticated knowledge and understanding of mathematics. Therefore, the NAPLAN testing scheme does have many educational benefits for students, teachers, parents, schools and the government; however, it is not without its faults and there are areas in which improvement could be

Jason, I will address each of your points below: 1-4: I am positive the system and scenes are 100% functional. I have tested several times, most recently with the Lutron programmer about 2 weeks ago, and everything worked. Last night, I tested the scenes again and confirmed the lighting worked by looking at the front door camera. Regardless, I am headed over shortly to confirm, again. My guess is Ms. Mathews is not fully aware of the functionality of the system.

After examining the square table with grids to fit the triangle tiles, my calculation is 20 triangular tiles are used. Here is how I came up with the answer. Inside the table, it consists of four different shapes in triangle, rectangle, square, and a right-angle trapezoid. A square requires four tiles to fill. A rectangle requires two triangle tiles, as it is half of the square.

1. Are you happy with what you produced on this assessment? Explain why you are or are not. I am not happy with my current test grade because it doesn't reflect the amount of work I put into reviewing for this test. I’ve put more reviewing time for this math assessment than any other math test I’ve ever taken.

Figure 1 is a summary of the students’ learning throughout the learning segment. I administrated this test as a pre-assessment prior to the lesson one and administered it again after the completion of lesson 3. This test is a compilation of students’ learning and it demonstration how they met the standards and objectives that were set out for them to achieve. The evaluation criteria in which this assessment and all other assessment in the individual lessons did was not altered. Even though the students have different learning needs, the assessment met all of the needs for all learners.

As previously mentioned, while watching the student complete the assessment, I observed the student guessing. If the student truly understood the place value of each number then she would have answered all of the other number sentences correctly, however she only chose to complete each number sentence using the “less than,” inequality symbol, which coincidently awarded her with items b and e being correct. This student is yet to understand how three-digit numbers compare to one another based on place value, as well as, the meaning of each inequality symbol. Due to not understanding how three-digit numbers compare to one another based on place value, the student was not able to properly discuss her

In today’s educational setting, teachers must teach according to a strict curriculum, following a timeline of when to teach the lesson, how long to teach it for, and how to teach it. At the end of each lesson, a test is given to the students, and then a new lesson begins, pushing the previous lesson out of the brain probably never to be used again. Better yet, these lessons that are being taught by teachers are not showing up as frequently in standardized testing. Instead, these focus more on logic, strategy, and time-management, or how fast one can finish a test. Unfortunately, while some kids can prosper under timed conditions, many are not good at multiple-choice only tests, and they are frowned upon for low scores.

“Oh, another?” You groan as you sit down, and you probably won’t get up for several more hours. Thus begins the fourth day of standardized testing. Students should not have to take standardized testing because it takes up too much class time, it puts stress on teachers and students, and students already take too many tests in each subject.

Math in general is hard, but to make things worse our tests are really long. I think having shorter math tests would be better for students. They should be shorter so you don’t have to study as much,you don’t have to stress, and you don’t have to rush through the tests. One reason math tests should be shorter is so you don’t have to study as much. One time I came home very late and I didn’t have that much time to study.
