Fundamental Mathematical Knowledge
Conceptual and Computational !
Benjamin Bloom’s Taxonomy defines Fundamental Knowledge
Application Level: Using Basic Knowledge to Solve Problems
Comprehension Level: Restated Definition & Concrete Example
Memorization
Level: Minimal Fundamental
Knowledge (If any!)
The following
pages attempt to provide simple examples
for teachers to use
as checklists to assess student’s Fundamental Knowledge of Mathematics.
A. Students
should be able to provide restated textbook
definitions
with visual/concrete examples which is conceptual
assessment.
B. Students
should also be able to provide evidence of proficiency
in
computation
skills which is a operational
assessment.
