There were 20 questions in all so each question was worth five points. There was a total of 100 possible points. Grades were assigned based on the number of question answered incorrectly. After grading the tests and analyzing the results, I returned the tests to the students. Since the overall performance on the test was not satisfactory, I decided to have the students correct their mistakes and return the test for ten extra points.
Place value is a very difficult and abstract concept for students to understand.
Additional reinforcement of the concept will be necessary throughout the year. As a teacher I will use an assessment plan very similar to the current system being used at my student teaching placement. Particular assignments and tests are graded and recorded in the grade book according to subjects. These scores are averaged and grades are assigned for each subject according to the school's grading scale. I will keep record of homework assignments by using a check mark to represent completed satisfactory homework and a check minus to represent unsatisfactory or incomplete work.
