Administering quizzes is essential for teachers to find out what their students are learning or are not learning. When you organize a math quiz for your students, it's also important to include a variety of sample questions to ensure that they've learned all that you've taught them.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate
Step1
Brainstorm with the students all of the mathematical information that you taught them prior to the quiz.
Step2
Review samples of each type of mathematical problem so that your students are fully aware of what you plan to present on the math quiz.
Step3
Create the quiz using the same type of sample problems that you reviewed with the students.
Step4
Include some challenging questions on the math quiz. These questions can be sample problems from chapters that you taught weeks or months ago. Organize these questions in no particular order; otherwise, the students can sense that the easiest questions are first.
Step5
Administer the math quiz during class. If the students are allowed to use sample problems to look at, provide them with the samples.
Step6
Take down any relevant information in the classroom that you don't want the children to see. For example, if you are giving a multiplication quiz, take down the multiplication table posters that you posted on the walls.
Step7
Correct the math quizzes. Watch for problems the children had the most difficulty with. Reteach the material that the students did not do well in.

Tips & Warnings

  • Don't include information on the math quiz that you didn't review or teach. Organize the math quiz so that it makes sense to the students.
