Creating a STAAR and TEKS Informal Assessment

Name: Hina Gulzar

Note: Each question is worth 20 points.
1. What TEKS did you select:
TEKS (3.13) (A) measure to solve problems involving length, [area,]
temperature, and time.

2. What STAAR objective does the TEK coincide?

STAAR Objective 4: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the
concepts and uses of measurement.
3. After studying the TEK and the STAAR objective, how do they relate to each
other?
Both the TEK and the STAAR objective relate to each other as in both the
student needs to have a working understanding of measurement. The STAAR
is broader as to what measurement is,
whereas the TEK is more specific. Students need to master the TEK to be able
to meet the STAAR
Objective which is demonstrating an understanding of the concepts and uses
of measurement
4. After studying the TEK and the STAAR objective, how are they different?
Like I said in question 4, the STAAR objective is very broad. It leaves it open
to include
anything that can be considered measurement. The TEK is more specific in
what students need to master. Also, the TEK requires student to measure to
solve problems involving [area],
While that is not something that is assessed on the STAAR.
5. What is your formative assessment?
I would have different types of formative assessments. I would have students
keep a math
journal for notes and practice problems. I would also have exit tickets,
where students
need to work out a problem before leaving the class. I would pick up the
journals periodically

and keep exit tickets to check see how far a student has come and show to
me if there is
anything I would need to reteach.
