Publisher's Synopsis
This book helps teachers to understand and use one essential form of assessment aimed at uncovering children's thinking about mathematics (and other subjects, too) - the flexible interview. Based on Piaget's "constructivist" approach, the methods described in the text were developed and tested by classroom teachers. Aimed at grades K-5, the techniques offered range from conducting interviews with individual children, in groups with the teacher, and in groups of children alone.
