Assessment
Assessing what students
know and are able to do is an integral part of the CPMP curriculum
and instructional model.
Informal
Assessment
Initially, as students
pursue the investigations that comprise the curriculum, the teacher is
able to informally assess student performance in terms of process, content,
and disposition. (Sample Lesson)
Group
Assessment
At the end of each
investigation, the Checkpoint and class
discussion provide an opportunity for the teacher to assess the levels
of understanding that the various groups of students have reached as
they share and summarize their findings. Student notes, sometimes called
Math Toolkits, are developed following Checkpoint discussions. See Parent
Support: Using the Math Toolkit.
Individual
Assessment
On
Your Own problem situations and tasks in the MORE sets
provide further opportunities to assess the level of understanding of
each individual student.
Assessment

an assessment package that contains:
-
end-of-lesson quizzes
