Scaffolding numeracy in the middle years: an investigation of a new assessment-guided approach to teaching mathematics using authentic assessment tasks

该项目将调查一种新的评估指导方法对提高四年级至八年级学生计算能力的效果。该项目通过开发乘法思维和有理数的学习和评估框架，以教师可以使用的形式和语言，增加了现有知识。该项目的创新之处在于，它将开发和使用真实的评估任务，而不是书面测试或个别面试，以确定学习者在框架方面的需求，并为后续教学提供信息。这是对英联邦提高所有人计算能力目标的重大贡献。

The project will investigate the efficacy of a new assessment-guided approach to improving student numeracy outcomes in Years 4 to 8. The project adds to existing knowledge through the development of a learning and assessment framework for multiplicative thinking and rational number in a form and language accessible to teachers. The project is innovative in that it will develop and use authentic assessment tasks, as opposed to written tests or individual interviews, to identify learner's needs in terms of the framework and inform subsequent teaching. This represents a significant contribution to the Commonwealth's goal of improving numeracy outcomes for all.
