Publisher Synopsis
"A fresh and unique resource for mathematics teachers who recognize the importance of carefully establishing the starting points of instruction in terms of what students already know. The collection of assessment probes is inventive, engaging for students, and invaluable for teachers." -- Richard H. Audet, Associate Professor 20060523 "Shows us ways to listen and observe children and their mathematical understandings so we can find better ways to help them take their next learning steps. This book is a gift to educators who 'seek to understand before being understood.'" -- From the Foreword by Anne Davies 20060803 "This resource for K-12 mathematics educators is exactly what the title suggests: It contains 25 formative assessment probes that can be used to drive instruction. This book is easy to read and implement." -- Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, February 2008, Vol. 13(6) 20080306 "The probes in this book give teachers a basis for beginning assessments as well as a guide for assessing manipulatives and activities, not just paper-and-pencil tasks. The guide helps teachers understand student thinking and welcomes deeper understanding and mastery of topics. It is also easy to use with parents to show students' thinking and to justify grades." -- Teaching Children Mathematics, February 2008, Vol. 14(6) 20080528 Read more...
