4th Grade Number Sense Quiz


Making an online quiz is a tremendous way for students to learn nearly any subject from its insides. I think this would be a great application for math especially. It's one thing for students to know how to simply do the mathematical process to figure out answers to problems, but if a student had to make a test they would have to think about other reasons on how to approach a problem. The students would not only have to think like a teacher by creating questions, but they would also have to know the common mistakes that students might make on their way and offer them as possible answer choices. This would push students to go beyond simple memorization and get them into a higher level of thinking by analyzing and interpreting information.

  1. I thought your math test was excellent. It provided immediate feedback to your students. The two problems that I missed on multiples and factors, the student must read the problem carefully.
