28. 28 What is a Formative Assessment Lesson?  The common core standards make clear that students must be able to use mathematics with precision—to get the numbers right, and also to solve problems that are not routine, to gain a conceptual understanding of the math and apply it. Formative assessment lessons are designed to help teachers uncover student misconceptions and find a path to help students progress.
