Math Test - Chapter One

On Monday, students will bring home the test for chapter one in math. Before they do, I want to explain some changes I've made to the math curriculum this year, as well as some of my policies and procedures regarding math tests. For more information, see the posts on Problem Solving and Pre-Tests.

The first test is comprised of 20 questions, the first 16 of which are required. The last four questions, 17-20, which you will see marked with a star on the test, are extra credit questions.

Miss Annie gave the test to the students on Friday, September 1, per my instructions. She graded the tests as if they were worth 20 points, when in fact they are only worth 16 points. Miss Annie was unaware of this change, as I did not tell her and it is something I'm doing differently from last year.

In short, all the students did well on the first test. The lowest score was a 14 out of 16, and the highest was 20 out of 16.
