Assessment Plan

Purpose

This assessment plan main purpose is to evaluate the students learning on the mathematical topic of algebra.

Learning Outcomes

At the conclusion of the subject topic, students are expected to identify, understand and distinguish patterns, their relations and functions, as well as analyze the various mathematical equations and structures by utilizing algebraic symbols.

Assessment Context

Students will be required to name and describe the different forms of shapes and patterns drawn for them. They will also be asked to draw the different patterns.

Students will be given colorful objects to assist them carry out practical counting, writing them down, and do the mathematical functions.

Holistic Rubric

Little Evidence of Achievement understanding	Shows no evidence of variables.
Just Getting Started	Shows evidence of discovering a mathematical pattern.
Transitional	Shows evidence of discovering, differentiating and describing different patterns and shapes.
Competent	Shows evidence of discovering, describing and generalizing patterns and represents relationships with tables, graphs and verbal or symbolic rules.
Sophisticated	Shows evidence of using functions to represent patterns and represent relationships with equations.

Testing Constraints

The testing constraints include a time limit to ensure the assessment rubric is followed to the latter on all students.
