Reviewing for the NAP Baseline Assessment (Year-end Assessment)

 Reminder: the baseline assessment is a celebration of all their learning and should be presented as a great opportunity to showcase everything they know. Remind them that all outcomes will be assessed, not just the 10 questions from the foundational quizzes. One way I had students buy in was by saying, "This is hard, and therefore it will be the end of regular math classes for the year, and we will be celebrating once everyone has written it." (ideas - no more math, math games, outside time, pizza party, ice cream) 

To prepare students for the year-end assessment, you should plan for a two-week consolidation of learning. You want to plan for activities, games, or projects that review all of the covered outcomes.

Resource Gathering Request NAP Foundational Outcomes - Teaching Ideas

 As part of the NAP program, I want to start gathering resources for the foundational outcomes for each grade level. If you have an activity, work and just general ideas for one or more of the concepts, can you send me a message with it explained.
