Teen Observation Paper
Teen- Observation
Test subject: teen ( Sister ) 15
My observation of my sister has to with her development of her thinking process. I had given her a math evaluation and I wanted to tester her in four areas of math. Addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, algebra and geometry were subjects used. The object of this evaluation is to observe the test subject on how one method is used and is it transitions to the next level of math.
I handed her a pencil and pen for utensils. The first paper had five addition and five subtraction problems. I asked her to do all ten problems and to take her time. As she scanned the paper she quickly wrote down her answers. I noticed that she was going quickly through out all ten problems. When done I congratulated her told her it was easy. With satisfaction her appearance was lazy and unmotivated to continue her evaluation.
The following paper I gave her were twenty questions of division and multiplication. I again told her to take as much time needed. This time I timed her with out her knowing and the problems were longer than usual. Beginning her problems I saw she was going fast through the first ten multiplication …show more content…
I consisted of five problems and were easier than normal. I again told her to take as much time as possible but I timed her. She picked up her pencil and wrote on. She was using methods of her first (addition and subtraction) and second tests ( Division and Multiplication ). Watching her do theses problems aggravated her very much. She was tapping her pencil on the table and was fiddling with her hair. She was biting her fingers and seemed like there was more to it than there really was. Her progress was picking up and worked within the boundaries of which he knew. The combination of those methods helped her break down each problem to its value. This round lasted for 16.02 minutes, longer but I noticed that she used her experience to resolve the problem she was
