Abstract

In assessing my students in the pretest most students were having difficulties. The pretest showed me that my student’s area of weekend was in subtracting integers. . I had to look at the results from the math computation pretest to determine what I needed to ret each and how. During the lesson, I gave the students a song to sing and also notes for them to use when solving subtracting problems using integers.

Study Island was used to assess my students after taking to pre assessment. The most assessment was in the form of a multiple choice test. The State of Georgia assesses their students by giving them multiple choice questions on the common state assessment. I looked at the technology that I used and found that it helped assist with my students understanding what they did wrong on the retest. Here are the results of the growth on computations using integers.

The students pretest was all computation and the post test was the computation plus an explanation of how they got their answer. Review the data and you will be able to see that the students were able to show growth in computing integers. Once my students were assessed I conference with them over their results from the pre test and post test. Now that I have reviewed results with my students I have to continue giving assistance to those students who are still having problems with subtracting integers. My lessons now need to be revised to re teach or have their peers re teach them.
