I expressed how this worksheet will let me know if we need more practice with any strategy that we have learned so far. I continued to go over the various components of the assessment. I began by declaring that there are only five problems they need to solve and each problem has directions above it. I emphasized the importance of reading the instructions because the problems ask you to solve the equation is different ways. I also communicated that I will be circulating the room to ensure that there are no wandering eyes. Also, that I will be there to help students understand the directions. In my class this school year there are 8 English Language Learners who may be able to read the directions but could have trouble understanding them. I explained that I will not tell them how to use the strategy or tell them the answer but I will provide help in terms of understanding what is being asked. Many strategies and tools are being utilized throughout the assessment. I have provided clear instructions for each problem. The directions are given before the problem and are specific to that one problem. The directions vary from each problem due to the strategy being used as well as the operation being used.
