[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Some kids might answer a total of 40 questions, some 53, some 70, depending on how many they answered correctly before they started getting them wrong. It's not timed because some kids can keep going much longer than others, even if they're all answering the questions at the same speed. You actually _want_ them to keep going as long as they can, because it means they're still getting the questions right. [/quote] This is a very important point. Many of the kids who take a long time in the test at our school are the high performers. They are not slow and don't need to improve their ability to answer math quickly. They just get MORE questions and harder questions than everyone else. The staff development person at your school sounds like she needs to be retrained in this.[/quote]
