Practice Test


This activity contains 10 questions.

	Mathematics knowledge and ability   Is related to the Piagetian concept of conservation Is studied by looking at mathematical development specifically Both A and B

	Which statement is FALSE about number sense   Number sense is developed in elementary school through instruction and drill and practice Number sense leads to greater facility with math information and the ability to solve arithmetic computations Number sense is developed before kindergarten through informal interactions with family members

	Dyscalculia refers to   The ability to understand algebra problems The inability to perform mathematical calculations The ability to perform mathematical calculations

	According to the literature, should math tests be timed?   No, because students with only mathematical problems make fewer mistakes and get the same number correct as students without disabilities Yes, because only when students have automaticity, can a teacher be sure that the material has been mastered Yes, because teachers have always had timed tests in math

	Formal diagnostic tests are   tests that may be commercially developed that include examples of different kinds of problems Standardized tests that allow the teacher to determine in which areas of mathematics is having difficulties An analysis of student's mistaken answers

	Informal inventories are   An analysis of student's mistaken answers Standardized tests that allow the teacher to determine in which areas of mathematics is having difficulties Tests that may be commercially developed that include examples of different kinds of problems

	Error analysis is accomplished using   Standardized tests that allow the teacher to determine in which areas of mathematics is having difficulties tests that may be commercially developed that include examples of different kinds of problems An analysis of student's mistaken answers

	Which is NOT an effective form of math instruction   It relies on computers and technology It is individualized It is teacher directed

	A developmental program   Is designed to foster growth and improvement of math skills Is limited to elementary grades Is used for teaching beginners fundamental math concepts

	A basal program   Is used for teaching beginners fundamental math concepts Is designed to foster growth and improvement of math skills Is limited to elementary grades
