How to Use this Product:
• This assessment is based on 3rd grade end of year Common Core Benchmarks.
It is to determine what skills and concepts the students mastered the previous
year and see how they view themselves as mathematicians. In addition, it
combines pure and applied problems to gather information on their problemsolving skills.
• This does not include every standard, but instead the pivotal benchmarks that
were covered. It also includes some extension questions to help determine
which students extended their understanding to higher-level standards.
• The assessment can be done individually, in a small group, or in a whole class
(though it greatly helps to have another adult in the room at the time to
observe the student’s habits.)
• The math reflection/survey is taken from: The Mathematics Survey: Attitudes
and Dispositions A Tool for Assessing by Phyllis E. Whitin published in Teaching
Children Mathematics, April 2007.
Do:
• Show the students the assessment as a whole class explaining what is expected
of them during the assessment time.
• Break up the assessment over a few days – perhaps just one – two pages per
day. This can be done over a week so you don’t lose too much classroom
time.
• Encourage them to answer every question even if they are stuck in order to see
how they are thinking about the problem and at what point they made an
error or couldn’t move forward.
• Compile the results as a whole class to determine overall goals and strengths.
Don’t:
• Send it home as a graded assignment.
• Help the student on the assessment unless you note it somewhere.
