Karen:
There are several resources that will help you look at student work
and observe students as they work built into the Investigations
curriculum. Be sure to pay special attention to the sections called:
Assessment in this Unit (at the very front of the unit)
Observing the Students
Teacher Checkpoints
Teacher Notes
The assessment booklets for each grade level are very helpful.
I also find the section at the beginning of every unit - Assessment in
Investigations very useful. The section describes mathematics
behaviors common to all mathematical experiences when students are
think and communicate as mathematicians.
When you start, read through the sections and choose the mathematical
emphasis that makes sense for your students. What do you want to know
about your students? Which Teacher Checkpoint will help you most at
the time? You can choose different teacher checkpoints as you get to
know the needs of the students.
Other resources that have been developed by different school districts
can be found on the Scott Foresman site. They might not fit your needs
exactly, but they might help you get started with personalizing your
own assessment tools.
