Assessment Tasks forModeration and OTJ’s Honor Ronowicz honorr@waikato.ac.nz
The New Zealand Curriculum says: In a range of meaningful contexts, students will be engaged in thinking mathematically and statistically. They will solve problems and model situations.
The Mathematics Standards say: While knowledge is critically important for mathematical understanding, its primary role is to facilitate the student’s solving problems and modelling situations. Just demonstrating knowledge is not sufficient to meet a standard. Rather the student must use knowledge to think mathematically when solving problems or modelling situations. Pg 10 Mathematics Standards
Why Do Problem Solving? • Problem solving: • places the focus on the student making sense of mathematical ideas. • encourages students to believe in their ability to think mathematically. • provides ongoing assessment information that can help teachers make instructional decisions. • activities provide an entry point which allows all students to be working on the same problem. • develops mathematical power. . • better represents the nature of mathematics.
So where to start • Capacity Building Series • www.edu.gov.on.ca So you need to know the learning goals or in our case the NZC progressions
What can we use? • Illustrations • ARBs • Figure it Out • nrich.maths.org • nzmaths.co.nz • Using literacy
