Assessments (Formative and Summative)

These will be the guiding questions (essential questions) that accompany the students’ final assessment:

How would you choose to re-name prime, composite, and square numbers? How would you explain your newly named numbers to a classmate? What types of examples would you use in your explanation?

The final presentation will be graded on a points rubric as follows:

Word (Term) Choice  ________/ 20

Examples                     ________/ 20

Presentation                ________/ 20

Explanation                 ________/ 40

Total                            ________/ 100

Throughout the first four days, students will have formative assessments.

2.      Students will be given a grade for completing their think, pair, and share definitions.

3.      Students will receive grades for completing their poster definitions.

5.      Students will complete a short quiz demonstrating what they have learned.

6.      Students will compare and contrast their initial explanations with their final explanations to recognize any inconsistencies or confusion they may have had.

7.      Students will complete a PowerPoint presentation as their summative assessment.
