"This book is a wonderful resource for integrating formative assessment into student-centered instruction. The authors describe numerous ways teachers can access the many levels of student understanding. It belongs on every mathematics teacher’s shelf."

(Edward C. Nolan, PreK-12 Mathematics Specialist 2011-04-06)

"This book contains an incredible set of Math FACTs – Formative Assessment Classroom Techniques. If you have been curious about Formative Assessment or how to implement it in your math classroom, this book provides the tools to get you started."

(Lyneille Meza, Coordinator of Data & Assessment 2011-04-06)

"This book features formative assessment strategies specifically written for math and can be used in any math class. A book that we have been waiting for."

(Zsuzsanna Laughland, Mathematics Teacher 2011-04-06)

"This book is a game-changer! By putting theory into practical digestible units, Mathematics Formative Assessment gives teachers of all levels a bank of techniques to design standards-aligned classes. I wish I had something like this 20 years ago when I was first teaching."

(Daniel Kikuji Rubenstein, Executive Director 2011-04-06)

"Coaches and other teacher leaders will find this compendium of assessment strategies invaluable." (NCSM Newsletter, Spring 2012 2012-03-15)

"Most important, Keeley and Tobey discuss extensively the use of teh data generated to inform teaching. Coaches and other teacher leaders will find this compendium of assessment strategies invaluable." (Kay Gilliland, Editor 2012-05-03)

There is a substantive body of research that indicates formative assessment can significantly improve student learning. Yet, this same research shows that the features of formative assessment that impact student achievement are sadly missing from many classrooms (Black, et al., 2003). This book provides teachers with guidance and suggestions for using formative assessment to improve teaching and learning in the mathematics classroom, and identifies and describes practical techniques teachers can use to build a rich repertoire of formative assessment strategies. The acronym, FACT, is used to label the techniques included in this book. FACT stands for Formative Assessment Classroom Technique. Through the varied use of FACTs, explicitly tied to a purpose for gathering information about or promoting studentsÆ thinking and learning, teachers can focus on what works best for learning and design or modify lessons to fit the needs of the students.
