Step 5: Follow-up on Assessment

Guiding Questions

• What conclusions can be made from assessment information?
• How effective have instructional approaches been?
• What are the next steps in instruction?

A. Addressing Gaps in Learning

• Review the concepts of multiplication and division of fractions by having the students work with models such as fraction strips or fractions blocks.
• Provide time for the students to reflect on their learning by the use of the graphic organizers such as the Frayer models or concept definition map.
• Make sure that the students are solving problems by drawing pictures and providing explanations to justify their thinking.
• If students are experiencing difficulty with identifying the whole, they may need more time to explore part and whole tasks, such as:
