Mathematics
True-False

1 .       Most of the math that we use on a daily basis involves precise calculations rather than problem solving or estimation of solutions. 

 
 


2 .       New mathematics standards emphasize a shift away from teaching through rote learning and accumulation of facts. 

 
 


3 .       Norm-referenced tests are an example of standardized assessment. 

 
 


4 .       Portfolio assessment is useful only for presenting information and not for providing insight into student progress. 

 
 


5 .       Arithmetic should be the only focus of elementary mathematics instruction. 

 
 


6 .       One strategy for skill generalization of mathematics is integrating it into other subject areas. 

 
 


7 .       One explanation for students disliking math is failure of the teacher to differentiate work based on student needs. 

 
 


8 .       'Think-Pair-Share' is an example of the Cognitively Demanding Instructional Model. 

 
 


9 .       Research has found that commercial programs for teaching mathematics have a higher success rate than teacher-created ones. 

 
 


10 .       Time and money are not considered categories of 'measurement' in applied math skills.
