Let’s talk about math and assessment. How do you assess your students in math?
Some of the traditional methods of assessing math don’t give us the most accurate idea of a student’s abilities. Answers are often seen as black and white and right or wrong, but that doesn’t tell the whole story of how a student has interpreted and worked through a question.
In this episode, I’m talking about how to assess your students in math, use the four levels of the achievement chart with different math problems, do a summative assessment in math, and mark math in a way that accurately reflects your students’ abilities.
I’m also sharing different examples as I go along to demonstrate each suggestion so that you can see how they would work in your classroom.
In Today’s Episode We Discuss: 
- How to assess students in math
- Different assessment options available to you
- Why there’s more to marking math than just right or wrong answers
- How to mark more accurately

If you’re looking for a better way to assess your students in math, I hope this episode is helpful. There’s more to math assessment than just assigning tests and marking them right or wrong. You can use the methods from this episode to get a clearer picture of your student’s abilities.
