What is the primary purpose of "Assessment for Learning" (AfL)?

• To provide a final grade for a student's report card.

• To diagnose learning needs, monitor progress, and guide instruction.

• To evaluate the overall effectiveness of the school's mathematics curriculum.

• To compare student achievement against national standards.

According to the document, which of the following best defines "Evaluation"?

• The process of gathering information through observation and tests.

• The process of making judgments or decisions based on collected assessment data.

• The act of teaching a new mathematical concept to students.

• The creation of tools like rubrics and marking keys.

A student using a self-assessment rubric to reflect on their understanding of geometry concepts is an example of:

• Assessment of Learning

• Assessment for Learning

• Assessment as Learning

• Summative Assessment

Which assessment type is described as summative and used for grading, promotion, and reporting purposes?

The 21st-century learning skills are often called the 4 C's. Which of the following is NOT one of them?

• Critical Thinking

• Creative Thinking

• Computing

• Collaborating

Which of the following is an example of an "Assessment for Learning" tool?

• A final project

• A unit test

• A pre-test

• A state-level examination

The document states that assessment becomes "Assessment as Learning" when:

• The teacher uses the data to assign a letter grade.

• The assessment is administered at the end of a unit.

• Students become involved in the process to monitor their own learning.

• The results are sent home to parents.

What is the main function of the Victorian Numeracy Learning Progressions?

• To serve as the official mathematics curriculum for schools.

• To provide a sequence of observable indicators of understanding in key numeracy concepts.

• To replace all other forms of classroom assessment.

• To outline mandatory standardized tests for each grade level.

Breaking a complex problem down into its parts to understand it better is a key ability of:

• Creative Thinking

• Collaborating

• Critical Thinking

• Communicating

According to the document, what must happen for assessment to be effective in improving teaching and learning?

• It must always be a formal, pencil-and-paper test.

• The information generated must be used to decide what to do next.

• It should only be done at the end of a teaching unit.

• Its results must be kept confidential from students.
