Mastery of the Function Unit

One of the assessments that I gave students in this Unit was a quick online test through a state website www.triand.com for Arkansas that allows educators in Arkansas to use.  I am providing a few Sample multiple choice questions .  As you can see from the questions, they are quick assessments to check for student understanding of identifying functions, evaluating functions, and finding domain and range.

I also assessed students with an online test at www.triand.com using short answers.  Here are some short answer Sample Questions.  By providing a variety of different types of questions, students are more prepared for different formats. I like using short answer questions because students usually have to provide reasoning, but it is less time consuming than an open response question.  

I also used Open Response questions from the Arkansas state website at www.triand.com.  Here is a Sample of an Open Response Question on Functions.  The Open Response is more time-consuming, but again it is important to provide students with questions that require them to provide reasoning in a written format.  The more variety of representations that students, as well as repetition of problems, the better they will be prepared for the PARCC exam.
