A Vignette of Assessment in Action

Read the selection and give 5 recommendations that you will do in the given case.

In matters of computation, I know in myself I am weak in this task. There is a chance that
I am having a hard time and don't understand some issues regarding Mathematics but this is my
recommendation to improve problem-solving skills in Math.

1. Learn how to identify the problem

On tests, time is wasted when a student is unsure what the problem is about. Mostly the
source of an incorrect answer is rooted not in misinformation, but rather in misunderstanding.
When preparing to solve a problem, ensure you are certain of two things: its scope what is the
question truly asking? and what is the question not asking? One way to define a problem is to
rephrase the question. If you are dealing with a word problem whose sentences are long it may
be helpful to break it into shorter. It may also be useful to rearrange the word order so it makes
sense to you. If you choose to do so, take care to avoid losing the original meaning.

2. Draw connections
Once you have determined the correct question, you can find the right answer. This can
be a multi-step process. For instance, on a math test, you may encounter a complex problem that
you have never encountered before. Instead of skipping it, assess whether there is any part of the
question that resembles a math problem you have solved in the past. Break it into simpler steps,
or divide it to some portion then think each through. Math is more than just memorizing
formulas and functions and making calculations—much of math depends upon numerical
reasoning and logic. As a result, to improve your problem-solving skills, sharpen your reasoning
skills.

3. Develop good habits

To master any skill, you must first practice. Practice independently or with a mentor, like
a tutor either it’s a friend, cousin or someone who have learnings in math. Challenge yourself to
practice problems in an area that is difficult for you. Solving such problems over and over again
will help you strengthen pathways in your brain.

4. Fuel your brain power

Our brain is like an engine. It is powerful, quick, and it can go far. However, without
proper fuel, it will not function well. Do not underestimate the value of a good night’s sleep and
eating well. Your brain and your body go hand-in-hand. To perform at your best mentally, you
also need to take care of yourself physically. Sometimes I ask myself, I sleep correctly in time
and also I eat nutritious food then why am I still weak in math, but I believed giving proper rest
and care to our self may improve our thinking skills, and performance in school.

5. Explain goals.
Prepare students for what they need to do to achieve the goal and what they will learn in the
process.
