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:
