Maths Test Bank Year 4

Details

Maths Test Bank is a total maths assessment solution that provides both assessment of learning and assessment for learning. Linked explicitly to the Australian Curriculum and NSW Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum, Maths Test Bank blends seamlessly with any maths teaching resource or approach.

Maths Test Bank:

is easy for students and parents to follow
provides teachers with assessment content that shows basic understanding and fluency of a topic, and also provides students with content that enables them to:

think about their understanding of a topic
extend themselves by applying the concepts further or by comparing different ways of working
show and explain the way they have solved a problem or why a method does or doesn't work

provides evidence of a student's level of achievement in every content strand of mathematics (assessment of learning), but also provides teachers with verification of a student's proficiency level in the key areas of understanding, fluency, problem solving and reasoning (assessment for learning)
includes a grading guide and suggestions for students who are achieving beyond or below the expected level of achievement.

Part 1: Assessment of Learning

The assessment of learning is designed to help the teacher (and the student) measure progress towards achievement standards. The aim of this assessment is to find out what a student has learned and to help answer questions such as:

Where was the student?
Where is the student now?
Where does the student need to go to next?

Part 2: Assessment for Learning

Assessment for learning differs from assessment of learning because its main focus is inquiry into the learning process. Teachers are able to look at the way students learn, rather than at their level of achievement. This analysis can then inform future teaching and learning requirements.

This assessment focuses on students' level of development in the proficiency strands of the mathematics curriculum (understanding, fluency, problem solving and reasoning) and their ability to reflect on, reason, explain, explore and adapt key mathematical concepts.
