Make Your Own SCAT Math Test: Learning from making math questions: Book One: basic skills for grades 3-6($8.99Value)

Description

This math workbook contains 101 imitation questions using SCAT format. The special part of this workbook is that it encourages students to learn math from making up questions. It features "Make Your Own" practices along with example questions. Many public elementary schools in the United States and Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) use the SCAT (School College Ability Test) to evaluate students’ math performance. Those who pass the SCAT in public elementary schools have the chance to enter a challenge math program particularly designed for math oriented young thinkers. Although not all public elementary schools offer such math programs, Johns Hopkins CTY offers innovative summer classes for students who are seeking challenging scientific, mathematic, and humanistic curriculums. The CTY SCAT includes a verbal part. But even if you only pass the math part of the SCAT, CTY still welcomes you to come and take classes.We found out that one of the best ways to prepare for the SCAT math is learning to make up questions. Many students give us the feedback that they make mistakes in math because they did not read questions correctly or carefully. Learning math from making questions, however, demands students to understand math with examples in mind. In order to make up reasonable examples, students learn to use operation skills and math concepts to create questions! In a word problem, they learn to write out the mathematic situation by using daily life experience and set up from within a question to ask. When students learn math through making questions, they also learn to read questions better in an exam. When writing a question, one thinks of how to turn the math concept into examples and how to design the numbers involved, making them challenging and doable. These decision making skills in writing questions are important steps for advanced reading comprehension in math exams. Those who practice writing questions have in their minds the building stones (techniques, experiences) of how to write a question, which will then help them read from the question writer’s perspective, seeking out the details of how a math concept is arranged and what numbers are involved to complicate the calculation! Students who learn math through making questions will not be afraid of reading lengthy questions. They will learn to think like a question giver! Because they were there once, the question designers! Best wishes on your SCAT exam! And have fun making math questions!Published by Math is Fun Studio LLC~ for the love of all children
