Hello Folks:
I am asking for some help. My children took the California Achievement
Test (CAT). On the test results for math they had scores in a variety of
areas: Measurement, Estimation, Algebra, Statistics and the like. One
area was listed as Problem-Solving Strategies. I do not understand this
area. I do not know what a problem would look like that a student would
answer that would reflect the strategy he/she chose on a standardized =
test.
Could someone please give me an example of problem that assesses
problem-solving strategies within a math context. Both my children did
well overall and both did poorly in this area. This concerns me when I do
not even understans the vocabulary to able to help.
Thank you very much.
