Time Midway Assessment

I do not give students any help on this elapsed time and analog clock assessment.  I do not even read them the questions.  At this point of the year trust has been developed and they know that if they cannot complete a question on the test, I will go over it with them/a group/ the class.  They will get a chance to take the test again.  

This assessment measures their ability to tell time to the minute on an analog clock.

I look for confusion with the hour hand, and for students who don't seem to be counting by fives correctly. This assessment also measures their ability to calculate elapsed time using a number line and to answer one and two step problems involving elapsed time.

I review the tests as soon as possible, either during a planning period or after school.  If a student is struggling I might take notes on the Time Assessment Individual Student Record or Note Page .  These anecdotal notes are a helpful reference for me when I walking around the room to consult with students.  It makes my questioning more effective and my reteaching more prompt.  To get a sense of how the class is doing as a whole, I fill out the Time Assessment Class Snapshot Record.  I calculate their mastery in percentages for myself because it's a good snapshot.  The notes are where I keep track of more specific, qualitative details, including their ability or inability to explain their thinking.
