Student Work! [|High Performer- Affective Math.doc] [|Low Performer- Affective Math.doc]

//*Note: This assessment was done in the classroom.//
 * 1) //Grade Level:// Second Grade/ //Content of Lesson//: Attitude towards Math
 * 2) //Objectives:// To understand the way students feel about all aspects of math.
 * 3) //Assessment Criteria//: Students read each question and checked the appropriate column represented by smiley faces about their feelings in math. //Instrument:// Affective Assessment
 * 4) //An analysis of the data:// The students did an excellent job answering the questions according to their emotions about math. However, I noticed a trend that a lot of students feel “sad” according to the chart when the statement read “This is what I feel when my family helps me with math”. I can now assume that the students wish their families would help them more when it comes to math.
 * 5) // See sample of student work above! //
 * 6) //Recommendations for future instruction (entire class):// I would recommend that all students who feel that they want their parents to be involved with their math, to take initiative and talk to them about it. They should ask their parents for help with their math. Even if they do not need the help, the extra practice will enhance their knowledge and create them to be even better math students. With parent involvement, the students will not just go over what they learned in class, their parents might also aid to their knowledge too!
 * 7) //Recommendations for future instruction (students sampled):// For those students who feel not that comfortable in math, I would recommend getting as much extra practice as they can. I strongly feel that the more practice you get, the more comfortable you feel in this subject area. For those students who are very confident with their math skills, I would recommend to further their learning by continuing to practice higher leveled math problems and possibly taking on extra work to further their learning.
