This analysis is from the data of the 3rd grade math assessment. There are 22 students assessed using 10 questions specifically from the operations section of the common core standards. In this class 50% of the students fall into the emergent range in this section. That is a very high percentage of students to be in the developing stage. In this analysis it will be determined exactly what areas the students are struggling in and how can they be helped. There are several standards addressed in the Operations section of the test. The standards used in this section falls under the Operations and Algebraic Thinking section of the common core standards. The specific sections tested were sections 3.OA.1-3.OA.9.

The problems were:
Number 44- 90% of the students missed this problem. This was a division word problem that required the students to develop an equation. 50% of the students picked the same wrong answer showing that they had no clear understanding of how to solve this type of problem.
Number 47 - 63% of the students got this problem wrong. This problem ask the students to use division to solve the problem and they were not able to do that.
Number 53- 63% of the students also missed this problem. This problem presented the students with a chart to complete that could of been determined using multiplication or division to solve. There was also a pattern that could have been determined to help solve.
Number 56- 81% of the students missed this problem. This was another word problem that dealt with multiplication. 50% of the student picked the answer that used addition instead of …show more content…
Based on the problems the majority got wrong the students don't have a good understanding of multiplication, division, equations and word problems. All 10 questions that were used in the operation session of this test involved using multiplication and division and some were presented either as an equation or in word problem form. Using the unwrapped standard method and breaking down what specifically the students need to learn in this standard will be very beneficial. This classroom would benefit from differentiated instruction in those areas to teach those things, and show the students different ways they relate and how to solve them. For example; showing the different ways that multiplication and division are inverse operations and relate to one another. It will be advantageous to teach with example problems where the student have to find the missing number in both multiplication and division. Pre-teaching and teaching those vocabulary words used in the test like product and number sentence (equation). Having the students write out their explanation for solving problems using the correct vocabulary so they are clear about the meaning and become use to seeing the words. Then the students should be taught several ways to develop and solve equations. Equations confused majority of the students so it clearly
