Assessment Reflection

I think that one of the most influential impacts that I got out of this class is that math does not always need to include a math test to test your skills and understanding. Out of all the different assessment ways we have learned about in this class I think that my favorite might be the portfolio. I really like that the student gets to decide how they which to showcase their skills. I think this also allows the student to take pride in their learning and truthfully see how they have evolved with their skills and knowledge.

In addition I also really liked how we did some recording to voice our knowledge of different math skills. I think that this is a great way to really hear and understand a student’s process skills and understand on a topic. If you ask the student to prove you with visuals as well this can make the voice recording assessment even stronger.

Lastly I like that the class is very reflective. At sometimes I feel that it is almost too reflective; however I believe that when students are given time to reflect is it also time for them to really digest what they learned or experienced. This will allow them to process their skills and hopefully understand them to a level that they will be able to use the next them they are presented with a different challenge or math problem.
