For students to be prepared for summative assessments, it is important to separate the traditional forms of summative assessment from the everyday practice and feedback that is formative assessment. Mathematics teachers can modify current classroom processes to meet the qualities of true formative assessment and, in the process, improve student learning through engagement.  \nIn the beginning of this author’s career as a high school mathematics teacher, there was little discussion about the differences between formative and summative assessment. The focus of assessment was the accumulation of marks, and there was little mention of assessment as a learning tool (Black & Wiliam, 1998) . The collection of student achievement data seemed obvious: teach a lesson, give some questions, mark all questions, and record a cumulative mark. In this model, assessment and evaluation was focused on ranking and sorting students from the highest to the lowest achiever, which resulted in some students succeeding and others falling into failure (Stiggins, 2006) . Black and Wiliam’s (1998) ground-breaking assessment research has caused many educators worldwide to re-evaluate their assessment methods. Adoption of their assessment practices has not been an overnight process or overnight success. This situation raises two key questions: (1) what are the differences between formative and summative assessment? and (2) what are the strategies of formative assessment that can be implemented in a high school mathematics class?  \nDefining Formative Assessment  \nBefore implementing formative assessment strategies in the classroom, it is important to define clearly the difference between formative and summative assessment. Both formative and summative assessments are required for a course to have balanced assessment (“Summative and Formative Assessment”, 2011) . Formative assessment is the “formal and informal processes teachers and students use to gather evidence for the purpose of improving learning”(Chappuis, 2009, p. 5) . These assessments occur while learning is going on, and the goal is for the teacher to adjust the teaching and the student to adjust the learning, based on the results (Stiggins et al. , 2006) . From a mathematics perspective, formative assessment can be used to identify “what students understand, what they are struggling with, and whether a child might need additional diagnostic testing” (Koellner et al. , 2011, p. 49) . In contrast, summative assessments are “assessments that provide evidence of student achievement for the purpose of making a judgement about student competence or program effectiveness (Chappuis, 2009, p. 5) . These assessments are given occasionally, usually at the end of a unit, term, or course, in order to determine what the student knows at that time (Garrison & Ehringhaus, 2012) . Summative assessment is used to assign grades, to give a student’s standing in the course. It happens after the teaching has been completed, which is often too late for the teacher to make an adjustment to his or her teaching techniques (Stull et al. , 2011) . The major difference between formative and summative assessment is the use of the results in the classroom. Formative assessments are tools to make student learning better, and summative assessments are measuring devices to determine what learning has occurred.  \nStrategies for Formative Assessment  \nOnce a clear understanding of formative assessment is reached, a teacher can begin to implement specific formative strategies into the classroom. The strategies of formative assessment that a teacher uses in his or her classroom encourages better learning and understanding (Chappuis, 2009) . Many of the strategies already used in the classr","cbCaijeXbl8RhSZL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijeXbl8RhSZL","pdf",238325,"English","# Formative Assessment\n## Strategies for a High School Mathematics Class\n## Defining Formative Assessment\n## Strategies for Formative Assessment\n## Asking Good Questions\n## Providing Feedback\n## Setting Examples of Desired Work\n## Self-Assessment","[{\"question\":\"What is the key difference between formative and summative assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Formative assessment uses results during learning to improve teaching and learning, while summative assessment is used to judge achievement after instruction and typically to assign grades.\"},{\"question\":\"How is formative assessment defined in the article?\",\"answer\":\"Formative assessment is described as formal and informal processes teachers and students use to gather evidence with the purpose of improving learning.\"},{\"question\":\"What strategies can be implemented for formative assessment in high school math?\",\"answer\":\"The article highlights four strategies: good questioning, providing feedback, setting examples of desired work, and self-assessment.\"}]","Formative Assessment - Strategies for a High School Mathematics Class | PDF",13]
