  1. Mathematics Dynamic Assessment:Finding Out What You Need To Know In Order To Make Effective Mathematical Instructional Decisions • David H. Allsopp, Ph.D. • University of South Florida • dallsopp@tempest.coedu.usf.edu

  2. Advance Organizer • MDA at a glance • Important concepts • MDA description • MDA video model • Review • Questions/Discussion • MathVIDS information

  3. MDA at a Glance • instructional specific information • focus onconceptual understanding, procedural accuracy, & mathematical thinking • incorporates 4 effective assessment practices • Student interest assessment • C-R-A assessment • Error pattern analysis • Flexible mathematics interview • can be completed in an ordinary classroom period

  4. Important Concepts • Level of Cognitive Understanding • Level of Expressive Understanding • Mathematical Thinking • Procedural Accuracy • Instructional Hypothesis

  5. Level of Cognitive Understanding • At what level(s) do students understand the target mathematics? • Three levels: • concrete (objects/manipulatives) • representational (drawing) • abstract (numbers/symbols only)

  6. Level of Expressive Understanding • In what manner can students show their understanding? • Recognition (receptive level) • Doing (expressive level)

  7. Mathematical Thinking • Are students able to think about mathematics in ways... • 1) that are reasonable? • 2) that show understandings of how relevant mathematics concepts/skills across the curriculum “fit” together in order to problem solve? • Reasoning • Approach to Problem Solving

  8. Procedural Accuracy • Are students able to use effective algorithms/procedures in order to successfully compute? • Algorithms • Procedures

  9. Instructional Hypothesis • Provides you with a focused approach to teaching that specifically addresses the needs of your students based on the results of a mathematics dynamic assessment.

  10. Instructional Hypothesis • Components: • Context • What students can do • What students cannot do • Reason “Given ________, students can _______ students cannot ______, because __________.”

  11. Mathematics Dynamic Assessment: Description • Student Interest Inventory • C-R-A Assessment • Error Pattern Analysis • Flexible Interview

  12. Student Interest Inventory • Ask students to describe interests they have in a variety of areas in a format you can pick up and review. For example: • things they like to do with friends • things they like to do alone • things they do with their family • hobbies • interests or special talents they have

  13. Student Interest Inventory

  14. C-R-A Assessment • Identify target concept (e.g., comparing fractions) • Develop 3-5 assessment items: • concrete, representational, abstract levels • recognition and expressive response formats • Create concrete, representational, & abstract centers • Develop process for students responding to and showing you their responses • Evaluate student performance at each level of understanding and response format

  15. Error Pattern Analysis • Review student responses • Determine whether students consistently use faulty procedures for responses that are incorrect • Evaluate the meaning of the error pattern... • does it represent lack of conceptual understanding? • does it represent lack of pre-requisite knowledge? • does it represent sensory-motor problems? • does it represent impulsivity or distractibility?

  16. What Does the Error Pattern Mean? ? ? ?

  17. Flexible Interview • “Listen” for student’s mathematical thinking based on problems to which they have responded... • ask them to describe to you how the solved the problem • ask them to “teach” you how to solve the problem • ask them to watch & listen as you solve the problem and to “catch” you doing something incorrect • use concrete materials or drawings to further explore student understandings

  18. Mathematics Dynamic Assessment: Model • MDA video • Four clips: • Introduction/Overview • Organization of classroom • Implementation • Results
