A math lesson entitled "fun with exponents" is a showcase lesson. The lesson includes a pre-assessment, during assessment, and post-assessment. The information I gather after this assessment will help me prioritize what content needs to be touched on first, second, third, and how in depth I need to go.

ASSESSMENT PLAN

#3 Prompt Describe your strategy for assessing student progress (pre, during, post) so that by the end of the lesson you will have evidence of student learning. These measures can be informal and formative (e.g. checklist, student work product, use of questions, graphic organizer, KWL, etc.). You should us a pre-/post-assessment for specialty area (psychomotor, art, music) or cognitive /academic or affective domains that is valid and reliable and will measure students skills, knowledge and/or disposition before, during, and after the showcase lesson implementation.
I selected to teach my math lesson entitled Fun with Exponents as my showcase lesson. The lesson includes a pre-assessment, during assessment, and post-assessment. All of my assessments were created to evaluate the students learning of objective. This particular lesson has two objectives and they are: TSWBAT: understand exponents vocabulary; Exponential Notation, Standard form, and Expanded form. TSWBAT: solve exponents in the desired way; Standard and Expanded. The student will also be able to decipher between squared and cubed. The activities included in this lesson are based on exponents and understanding the vocabulary as well as how to express in an expression. I selected a game that allowed students to practice writing and solving exponents with a partner. The pre-assessments most important purpose is to determine if students have retained any information from the prior lesson that introduced exponents. The students were introduced to the vocabulary in a prior lesson taught by their teacher, so they did have prior knowledge. The information I gather after this assessment will help me prioritize what content needs to be touched on first, second, third, and how in depth I need to go. The during assessment is to make sure students are grasping the concepts and are ready to move on to the next part of the lesson. I will use this information to see if students have an understanding of what we are doing up to that point. If so we will move on; if not then more time will need to be spent on the instruction aspect of the lesson. My post-assessment is to make sure students have a complete understanding of exponents, the vocabulary and how to write exponents in an expression. This information will let me know if another lesson needs to be taught or if the students have an understanding and can move on to the next lesson. My pre and post assessments are in the same format, but I use different numbers. For my pre-assessment I will instruct the students to get out paper and pencil. They will be presented with three problems on the Smartboard and will be asked to solve. The problems are: 1. Write 5x5x5x5 in Exponential Notation 2. Write 6x6x6x6x6 in Expanded Form 3. Write 2x2x2x2x2 in Standard Form Students have had this information in a math lesson taught by their teacher two day prior, so my goal was to see what they had retained from that lesson. This would assist me in gaging what they needed more instruction on. Before they begin I will make sure they understand that it is not for a grade and if they are unsure, then to write down what they feel is the best answer

My during assessment would consist of a few problems from their book that I will assign as practice work. While they are working I will be monitoring and doing and informal observation of their work. The teacher will take note of student who seem to be having a hard time and will provide more examples and instruction before the post-assessment. As stated above, my post assessment will be in the same format as my pre assessment, but the numbers and answers will change. The Post assessment questions will be: Write 5x5x5x5x5 in Exponential Notation, Standard Form, and Expanded Form. Here again, I will stress that this will not be graded, but I want them to do their best work. My pre- and post-assessments will be scored with the numbers 0,1,2,3; 0 being that they got none of the questions correct out of the three, 1 being that they got one out of the three questions correct, and so on. If a student receives a 3 on the pre-test then they already have and understanding of Exponents. The above lesson did not require any accommodations, so the students were able to be taught in the same way. Assessment Plan Table: Lesson Objective(s) Assessments Format of Formative Assessments Pre: Three question quiz that will ask students to Write 5x5x5x5 in Exponential Notation Write 6x6x6x6x6 in Expanded Form Write 2x2x2x2x2 in Standard Form Accommodations

TSWBAT: understand exponents vocabulary; Exponential Notation, Standard form, and Expanded form. TSWBAT: solve exponents in the desired way; Standard and Expanded. The student will also be able to decipher between squared and cubed

Pre- Assessment

During Assessment

Post-Assessment

During: Teacher
Observation. Students will be assigned practice problems from their book and a list of students who are having a hard time will be taken, so extra practice and instruction can be provided

No students in this class require any Accommodations; just more practice time for students who are having a hard time.

Post: Three question


quiz (same format as pre-assessment) that will ask students to Write 5x5x5x5x5 in Exponential Notation, Standard Form, and Expanded Form

A copy of the pre and post assessment answer key is provided.
