Assessment: Practical Tests

Rationale • To make use of concrete materials as

part of problem-solving processes• To apply mathematical

concepts/skills through hands-on activities independently

• To make learning of mathematics fun, meaningful & relevant

• To check for mastery of learning outcomes using different modes of assessments

Page 15: P1 Parents’ Briefing Mathematics 4 February 2012 Activity- based Learning Experiential Learning Mrs Choy Cheng Cheng.

Topics: Practical Tests

• Shapes and Patterns

• Length

• Mass

Sample of Year-end Report on each Primary 1 pupil’s performance

Able to understand & apply concepts

Better set aside more time for regular revision

Close supervision is needed

A: Able to understand & apply concepts (minimal errors)

B: Able to understand & apply concepts (some errors)

C: Able to understand & apply concepts (a lot of errors)

D: Unable to understand & apply concepts
