Uncovering Student Thinking About Mathematics in the Common Core, High School Summary

Uncovering Student Thinking About Mathematics in the Common Core, High School: 25 Formative Assessment Probes by Cheryl Rose Tobey

Helping students master secondary school mathematics just got a whole lot easier! Bestselling authors Cheryl Rose Tobey and Carolyn B. Arline provide 25 detailed and grade-level specific assessment probes that promote deep learning and expert maths instruction. Learn to ask the right questions to uncover where and how students commonly get confused. You'll learn how to:

Quickly diagnose students' common misconceptions and procedural mistakes
Help students pinpoint areas of struggle
Plan targeted instruction that builds on students' current understandings while addressing difficulties with algebra, functions, logarithms, geometry, trigonometric ratios, statistics and probability, and more
Elicit the skills and processes related to the Standards for Mathematical Practices

You'll find sample student responses, extensive Teacher Notes, and research-based tips and resources, as well as the QUEST Cycle for effective, hands-on implementation, to help instil new mathematical ideas. This is a great teaching resource with easy-to-implement tools and ideas to build solid mathematics proficiency.

Uncovering Student Thinking About Mathematics in the Common Core, High School Reviews

"High school mathematics can be one of the most difficult subjects for students to learn. This book provides the teacher with tools to help the student get to the root of their thinking in order to correct the underlying misconceptions that students amass during their school years." -- Lyneille Meza, Coordinator of Data & Assessment
"Not only does this book make strong connections to the CCSS, it provides a framework for teachers to improve their craft. Identifying student misconceptions is an extremely important aspect of assessment and this book provides a solid format to aide teachers." -- Randy Wormald, Math Teacher

About Cheryl Rose Tobey

Cheryl Rose Tobey is a senior mathematics associate at Education Development Center (EDC) in Massachusetts. She is the project director for Formative Assessment in the Mathematics Classroom: Engaging Teachers and Students (FACETS) and a mathematics specialist for Differentiated Professional Development: Building Mathematics Knowledge for Teaching Struggling Students (DPD); both projects are funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). She also serves as a director of development for an Institute for Educational Science (IES) project, Eliciting Mathematics Misconceptions (EM2). Her work is primarily in the areas of formative assessment and professional development. Prior to joining EDC, Tobey was the senior program director for mathematics at the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance (MMSA), where she served as the co-principal investigator of the mathematics section of the NSF-funded Curriculum Topic Study, and principal investigator and project director of two Title IIa state Mathematics and Science Partnership projects. Prior to working on these projects, Tobey was the co-principal investigator and project director for MMSA's NSF-funded Local Systemic Change Initiative, Broadening Educational Access to Mathematics in Maine (BEAMM), and she was a fellow in Cohort 4 of the National Academy for Science and Mathematics Education Leadership. She is the coauthor of six published Corwin books, including seven books in the Uncovering Student Thinking series (2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014), two Mathematics Curriculum Topic Study resources (2006, 2012), and Mathematics Formative Assessment: 75 Practical Strategies for Linking Assessment, Instruction and Learning (2011). Before joining MMSA in 2001 to begin working with teachers, Tobey was a high school and middle school mathematics educator for ten years. She received her BS in secondary mathematics education from the University of Maine at Farmington and her MEd from City University in Seattle. She currently lives in Maine with her husband and blended family of five children. Carolyn B. Arline is a secondary mathematics educator, currently teaching high school students in Maine. Carolyn also works as a teacher leader in the areas of mathematics professional development, learning communities, assessment, systematic school reform, standards-based teaching, learning and grading, student-centered classrooms, and technology. She has previously worked as a mathematics specialist at the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance (MMSA) and continues her work with them as a consultant. Carolyn is a fellow of the second cohort group of the Governor's Academy for Science and Mathematics Educators and serves as a mentor teacher with the current cohort. She participated as a mathematics mentor in the NSF-funded Northern New England Co-Mentoring Network (NNECN) and continues her role as a mentor teacher. She serves as a board member of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics in Maine (ATOMIM) and on local curriculum committees. Carolyn received her B.S. in secondary mathematics education from the University of Maine.
