• Sommario/riassunto: The focus of the Uncovering Student Thinking in Mathematics ; resources is on asking the right question. Writing a good formative assessment probe is very different from writing appropriate questions for summative tests or state and national exams. Formative assessment questions need to be designed to elicit prior understandings and commonly held misconceptions. This elicitation allows the educator to make sound instructional choices based on the specific needs of a particular group of students. Use of these formative assessment probes allows educators to maximize the potential of their math program materials by illuminating student understanding through a finer lens. The first three Uncovering resources provide a sample across the K-12 spans for each of the content areas of the NCTM standards. Although the NCTM standards continue ...
