Additional Considerations
An assessment activity can help learning if it provides information that teachers and their students can use as feedback in assessing themselves and one another and in modifying the teaching and learning activities in which they are engaged. (Black, Harrison, Lee, Marshall, & Wiliam, 2004, p. 10)
Mathematics assessment Probes represent an approach to diagnostic assessment. They can be used for formative assessment purposes if the information about students’ understandings and misunderstandings is used in a way that moves students’ learning forward. There is a wide range of considerations in this chapter, including using the Probes to
- establish learning targets,
- allow for individual reflection,
- give student interviews,
- address individual needs,
- promote mathematical discourse,
- support the mathematical practices, and
- build capacity among teachers within and across courses.
