1. This was an assesmment that startd the day off for the children. It was their daily math that they do, but it counted towards points. There were 5 problems that were to be done within the half hour while the class settles in for the morning. This assessment was math that was advanced for them, a challenge, but problems they were completely capable of accomplishing.

2. The assessment was 5 different math problems. Some of them were word problems, while other had pictures and the students had to interpret the pictures and answer questions. Many of the children asked for my help with this assignement because it was a little out of their league. The results were not given.

3. I believe that when the teacher gives the students assessments like this, she is challneging them and it actually makes them work harder and want to do well. She gives them daily math everyday, but when it counts towards your grade the children know that it is advanced math. This is a good way to get the students interested in what they are learning because the only way they can do well on this assignement is to understand what they have learned in the previous days. So this is a good assessment to see who knows what they are doing, and who is paying attention in class. When you have the results, you can assess who needs more help and who understands what they are doing.
