Overview
Reflect:
Unit 3 focused on the Mathematics Dynamic Assessment (MDA) approach for pre-assessment of math concepts and skills.
There are four components of an effective MDA:
- Surveying student /class interests
- Assessing levels of conceptual understanding (C-R-A)
- Analyzing student error patterns and/or misconceptions
- Conducting "math conversations" with students
Connect:
- What specific connections did you discover between your students' interests and the math content you teach?
- How does the MDA pre-assessment process (Interest inventory, C-R-A assessment, Error analysis & Math conversations) differ from your current pre-assessment practices?
