Context

This case study was created for CI 3030, Investigating Mathematics and Learning, Spring 2007. It was created under the advisement of Dr. Tracie Salinas. This case study was conducted at Moravian Falls Elementary School under the advisement of Darcy Alexander, a 2nd grade teacher at the school.

Impact

The case study took place in a 2nd grade classroom. I observed one student during a math lesson, to see how he was learning the math that was being taught.

I had to come up with different activities to do with the child, to see if they grasped the concept just taught. The math the student was working with was probability, so I made several different types of assessments for the student to do.

Alignment
This unit will meet the following North Carolina Standards for Elementary Teachers

Standard 2: Elementary teachers have a broad knowledge and understanding of the major concepts in mathematics.

Indicator 4: Teachers have knowledge of data, probability, and statistics. I met this standard by creating assessments on probability, to see if my student had grasped the concept.
