Developing Formative Assessment Tools and Routines for Additive Reasoning

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

This early-stage design and development project combines formative assessment, learning trajectories, and professional development to improve mathematics teaching and learning in grades K-3. Formative assessment items relating to addition, subtraction, and number have been developed based on current research, learning progressions, and the Common Core State Standards. These items are being piloted by teachers and validated to determine the utility of items in eliciting student thinking and informing instruction. Early analyses of piloted items have revealed the effectiveness of items in revealing a range of student strategies and levels of understanding, as well as challenges in capturing the thinking of very young learners.
