Purpose of the Assessment<br />
<strong>2013</strong>-14 Middle Years Math Assessment<br />
Grades 4 – 8<br />
<strong>Fall</strong> <strong>2013</strong> Teacher <strong>Information</strong><br />
The purpose of an assessment is to gain further information about students’ abilities. With these<br />
assessments, teachers have the opportunity to identify strengths and needs in students’<br />
mathematical learning. Teachers can use this knowledge to work towards targeted goals.<br />
The assessments are in line with Manitoba Education’s “Appropriate Educational Programming”. With<br />
the information garnered from the assessments, teachers can better plan for their students’<br />
individual needs.<br />
Direction for <strong>2013</strong>-14 <strong>School</strong> Year<br />
The topics used for the <strong>2013</strong>-14 year will be Math Facts, Geometry, Operations and Fractions.<br />

Using the Assessment for Report Cards<br />
The assessment has been created with the goals of Manitoba Education in mind. We encourage<br />
teachers to use the data collected in the assessment as a part of evidence of learning. This can be<br />
done with all three areas of assessment for learning on the Manitoba Report Card:<br />
• Knowledge and Understanding<br />
• Mental Math and Estimation<br />
• Problem Solving

The following outcomes will be assessed in the following grades and all of the grades below:<br />

Changes to Manitoba Math Curriculum<br />
As there are revisions to the Manitoba Framework of Outcomes, we have updated the Operations<br />
assessment to reflect some of the changes.<br />
Please see your Area Math Consultant if you have any questions.<br />
Non-Routine Problem Solving<br />
With the Geometry, Operations and Fractions assessments, students will have the opportunity to<br />
explore Non-Routine Problems. Students should be able to show their work, answer in a sentence<br />
and name the strategy used.<br />
During the <strong>2013</strong>-14 school year, we will be assessing many problem solving strategies. The order of<br />
strategies will be:<br />
Geometry Assessment<br />
• guess & check<br />
• logical reasoning<br />
Operations Assessment<br />
• make a table<br />
• work backwards<br />
Fractions Assessment<br />
• draw a picture<br />
• look for a pattern<br />
To help students choose an appropriate strategy, there are posters created by the Middle Years<br />
Math Assessment Team located at the FSD website:<br />
http://www.frontiersd.mb.ca/programs/SitePages/MathMY.aspx<br />
*A thank you goes to Sharon Funk from Gillam <strong>School</strong> for sharing her idea<br />
PRIME Background and Strategies is also a great resource for the different strategies needed<br />
for problem solving. A portion of this resource is available on the FSD Middle Years Math<br />
Assessment page.
Another resource is the Problem Solving Experiences books by R. Charles. Please contact your Area<br />
Math Consultant if you cannot find a copy of this resource.<br />
Online resources can also be used to support classroom teachers. Search for “Non-Routine<br />
Problems” and “Non-Routine Problem Solving” for more resources.<br />
Resources Recommended<br />
The following is a list of resources that can be used by teachers to prepare for the assessments.<br />
This list is not exhaustive, but a great starting point for teachers. <strong>School</strong>s should have the<br />
following resources available for teachers to use to teach mathematical concepts. Contact your area<br />
math consultant for more information.<br />
