Degnan_Affective+Assessment_08

Grade: 4

__**Objective**__: Students will share their feelings about math.

__**Assessment Criteria and Instrument**__: Affective Assessment

__**Analysis**__: A small group of students were given the affective assessment about their feelings on math. After reviewing the results I found that most students do enjoy doing math, only one student answered that she did not like it. I also found that most of the students do not like doing math in groups. Only a couple of the students drew an understandable picture of a mathematician and both of those drew men.

__**Recommendations for class**__: Since most of the students like math I would continue teaching math under the same conditions. I would use group work more often because that I think that this can help all students especially those who struggle.

__**Recommendation for high performer**__: This student should be challenged more. This student does not think that math seems to become harder everyday. I feel as if he should be challenged when first being introduced to new material. It may be too easy for him. This student thinks that it is easier to do math in groups I would put this student in a group more often, and maybe even put him in a group with low performers to help them.

__**Recommendation for low performer**__: This student never liked math. She does think that it helps to do math in groups so I would put her in groups more often but make sure that she contributes to the work. I would also use math games with her so that math might become more fun for her.
