Assessment OpportunitiesAssessment opportunities in Math in Focus offer acomplete picture of student progress. The Student Book, the Workbook, the Assessments Book and the Teacher’s Edition all work in concert to provide both short-term and long-term assessment options.

Prior Knowledge• Recall Prior Knowledge in the Student Book: At the start

of each chapter, students review related prior knowledge, then try Quick Check questions to ensure they are readyfor the new chapter.

• Pre-Test in the Assessments Book: A paper and pencil pretest is also available for a more formal diagnostic assessment.

Ongoing Diagnostic• Guided Practice in the Student Book: After each Learn

element students work out Guided Practice examples with either peer or teacher input. Tips in the Teacher’s Edition help in assessing student understanding.

• Common Errors in the Teacher’s Edition. Common Error alerts help teachers recognize and correct potential misconceptions before students practice on their own.

Formal Assessment• Chapter Review/Test in the Workbook: This can be used

as either review exercises or formal assessment.

• Chapter Assessment (Test Prep) in the Assessments Book: This can be used as an alternate chapter test.

• Cumulative and Mid-Year Assessments in the Workbook: These Assessments provide opportunities for consolidation of concepts and skills from small chunks of chapters.

• Benchmark Tests in the Assessments Book: Midway through each book, these assessments provide further test-prep practice combined with the opportunity to consolidate concepts and skills acquired over a period of time.

• Mid-Year and End-of-Year Tests in the Assessments Book: These end-of book assessments in test-prep format provide cumulative assessment for each book.
