Number Sense is…

4. Number Sense
“a well organized conceptual framework of number information that enables a person to understand numbers and number relationships and to solve mathematical problems that are not bound by traditional algorithms" (Bobis, 1996).

5. Number Sense
An intuitive understanding of numbers, their magnitude, relationships, and how they are affected by operations.

16. Successful Formative Assessment
Know what we’re looking for
Consider “levels” of what we’re looking for
Record/communicate what we find
Use the results to make instructional decisions

17. Formative Assessment is like GPS.
Where are we going?
Where are we?
How are we getting there?

18. Formative Assessment is like GPS.
• Understand the Standard – What does proficiency look like? • What skills are “prerequisites” for   success? • What do they understand in this progression? • How will we move forward?

19. Formative Assessment is like GPS.
• Understand the Standard – What does proficiency look like? • What skills are “prerequisites” for   success? • What do they understand in this progression? • How will we move forward?

20. Formative Assessment is like GPS.
• Understand the Standard – What does proficiency look like? • What skills are “prerequisites” for   success? • What do they understand in this progression? • How will we move forward?

21. Formative Assessment is like GPS.

23. The Standard
Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral. (1.NBT.1)
Where are we going?

24. What would you look for as students complete this task?
Where are we?
Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral. (1.NBT.1)

25. How would we assess these students?

26. What Do We Do When They Don’t Get It
