Tasks:

For a month, you will be responsible for managing your family’s checkbook. During this time, you will make deposits, make withdrawals, and write checks to pay various bills.

You will begin with a balance of $100.00. Your task is the following:

  1. 1)  Record the transactions in date order in your checkbook register.
  2. 2)  Choose the necessary operation in order in your checkbook register.
  3. 3)  Solve correctly to have an accurate balance at the end of the month.

The following deposits were made this month:


1/5 It rained all week, and there was a leak on the roof. The rate for the leak to be repaired was $100.00, so you hired a repairman to come in and fix it.

1/9 The rain made the grass grow in your entire neighborhood. Mom and dad own a lawn mowing business, and you are in charge of mowing your neighbors’ lawns. The rate you charge is $50 per lawn, and you mowed 6 lawns.

1/15 The next day, you received the electricity bill. The bill is $125.00. You wrote a check to Edison.

1/18 That night, you went to see a movie. The tickets cost $22.50 each, and you paid for you and your friend to get them. You also went to the concession stand, purchased some food, and charged $17 to your ATM debit card.

1/24 When you got home, you received a notice that the check your mom and dad wrote last week for your tutoring cleared. The amount withdrawn from your account was $123.

1/25 An overdraft fee of $25 was withdrawn to your account for insufficient funds.

1/27 You count up all the spare change in your family’s piggy bank because of the overdraft fee. You found $43.87, which you deposited into your family’s account.

1/29 You also deposited the money you received from babysitting your little cousin. You babysat for 4 hours and received $9 an hour.

1/31 What is your account balance? Do you have enough money to buy your friend a birthday present? The gift you want to buy costs $35. How much more do you need if you do not have enough? How much extra money do you have, if you have any?

The student’s learning gains will be evaluated by criterion-referenced grading, meaning that when assessing a student’s performance, it will be “against a fixed set of predetermined criteria” (Criterion-Referenced Test, 2014, p. 1). On criterion-referenced grading of assessments, all of the students have the ability to pass with a perfect score. Opposite to norm-referenced grading, where students are graded on a bell curve, with the average scores being the largest percentage. I have also chosen the total points method to determine the grade letter that will correspond to the number of points. In advance, I will determine the total point grade boundaries. The total amount of points that the students could receive on the assessments I created is one hundred points. An example of how I will grade performance is included below:

Total Point Grade BoundariesGrade
89-100A
79-88B
69-78C
59-68D
0-58F

Furthermore, modifications can be made to accommodate my diverse learners. Lengths of assignments could be reduced to meet their needs, as well as time allotted could be increased. For those who are visually impaired, the font size will be enlarged to the preferred size. For my English Language Learners, the assessments could be modified by giving those students a list of translation words. Some words included in the assessments have a higher vocabulary, so giving them a translation list beforehand will benefit them. Individualized Education Plans will be followed to meet the needs that pertain to that individual student. These can include anything from the setting of where they are taking the assessments to how they are giving their responses

to the assessments. Learning standards and objectives for students with significant cognitive disabilities will be lessened to fit their specific levels. All assessments are distributed in a way where no questions or answers are separated across different pages. All instructions are presented on the first page, which is easy to understand and read to maximize clarity of what is expected from each student.

Student and colleague feedback will influence my future instruction, tools, and assessments. If the student is not responding well to the assessments, there is a problem with the instruction. Thus, actions will be taken to improve instruction. If a particular question or instruction is hard to understand for multiple students, it will be changed to one that is universally understood. Students will also be open to leaving their suggestions to me in an anonymous box, or they could tell me. I have an open mind and want to make the class a positive environment where they are not afraid to voice their thoughts. If colleagues suggest other ideas of assessments or tools to grade assessments, I will consider implementing them into my classroom. Other teachers might suggest a different way of grading, for instance, norm-referenced grading. I will give it a try, and if I like it, I will keep using it. If the students are not gaining anything, I will switch back to criterion-based grading. I am open to all suggestions, whether from teachers or students.

Assessment data will be shared with the stakeholder by the school-provided grade book. The grade book that is used by most schools is Canvas. Canvas is an online tool that offers multiple resources, one of them being grades. Parents and students can access uploaded grades from their computers or smartphones. Interim reports and report cards, when sent home, will need to be signed by a parent and returned. This is ensuring that the parents are receiving those reports and have an idea of where their child is doing academically. Students will have all their graded assessments handed back to them with feedback that they could use for improvement.
