 Introduction

Assessment is an integral part of instruction, as it determines whether or not the

goals of education are being met. Assessment affects decisions about grades,

placement, advancement, instructional needs, curriculum, and, in some cases, funding. 

It is a critical piece of differentiated instruction as it helps to identify the most

effective strategies and activities that will encourage student learning. While

traditionally thought of as occurring at the end of learning (summative assessment OR

assessment of learning), assessment can take place throughout the course of learning,

embedded in the instruction.

Exams and essays along with speeches and projects are forms of

assessment. Assessment is a critical step in the learning process. It determines whether

or not the course's learning objectives have been met. A learning objective is what

students should know or be able to do by the time a lesson is completed. Assessment

affects many facets of education, including student grades, placement, and

advancement as well as curriculum, instructional needs, and school funding.

Assessment need not take time away from learning; assessments can be

learning experiences in themselves. Active assessment strategies enhance student

content understanding and promote skills that will be beneficial to students throughout

their lives. The ability to see the big picture, develop effective oral and written reports

and the ability to work cooperatively with their peers are skills that are promoted by

active assessment.

As with any learning strategy, task or activity, technology can provide a variety of

opportunities for assessment. What is important to consider is how the information

gathered by these technology supported tasks will be used.

In this compilation, I have introduced 12 assessment tools/ strategies that will be

a great help when we will be on the field of teaching.

1. PERIODIC TEST / QUARTERLY EXAMINATION

- This exam is designed to measure information retention and understanding of skills

learned. Given after the end of every quarter.

c.ax 3 +bx=0
❑
d.ax +bx +c=0

___7. Which of the following is not a process of solving quadratic equation?

2. ORAL RECITATION

- is the practice of having the entire class recite important facts, identifications,

definitions, and procedures within the instruction and later when they need to be

revisited. One method of helping students memorize information.

Example:

Criteria for Grading

 Delivery 20%

 Organization 20%

 Content 30%

 Language 15%

 Audience 15%

3. EXERCISES (SEATWORK)

- A mathematical exercise is a routine application of algebra or other mathematicsto a

stated challenge. Mathematics teachers assign mathematical exercises to develop the

skills of their students. 

Example:

Direction: Simplify each of the following numerical expressions

as much as possible:

I. Let 𝑎 and 𝑏 be positive integers.

1. 23a ×23 b=¿

2. 53 ×25=¿

II. Let and 𝑦 be positive integers and 𝑥 > 𝑦.

3. 11 x × 11 y =¿

213
4. =¿

4. ESSAY WRITING

-An essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument — but

the definition is vague, overlapping with those of an article, a pamphlet, and a short

story.

Example:

5. ROLE-PLAY

What is role-play?

-Role-play is any speaking activity when you either put yourself into somebody else's

shoes, or when you stay in your own shoes but put yourself into an imaginary situation.

Example:

6 . QUIZZES

- A short spoken or written test that is often taken without preparation

- A set of questions about a particular subject that people try to answer as a

game or competition

Example:
