Math – Changes In Math Assessments
When I was in school, Math was done entirely
with pencil and paper. Most of you who are parents
now probably used manipulatives, such as unifix
cubes, to assist with learning. Today's students
are even more involved with project-based learning.
The teachers who evaluated my progress had an
easy time. Check the answers right or wrong. Teachers
of today are required to perform many different
types of assessments.
Ask you children how they have earned grades
in their Math classes. Read about changing math
assessments:
