Receptive Mode

Mathematical communication among students should receive increased emphasis in the classroom according to NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standarda for School Mathematics (1989). Two modes of student communication are evident in the mathematics classroom, the expressive mode and the receptive mode, as identified by Del Campo and Clements (1987).

Computer Based

This case follows a high school mathematics teacher who is new to the classroom and is looking to adopt computer-based formative assessment as a part of his curriculum. Working within the confines of the school environment, this requires navigating a shrinking budget, colleagues that do not share his value of technology, restricted time, student issues, and limited resources. He must examine all aspects of the available computer-based formative assessment systems and weigh the pros and cons to insure the best academic outcomes for his students.
