1. What is a Data Analysis System? The Data Analysis (DAS) provides the necessary data to determine the mathematics content and teaching approaches for Tier II students. The DAS examines all the conditions within and surrounding the child, such as the curriculum content, context of the classroom, academic and social behavior, and ways in which student process information and respond to feedback.
2. List and explain three environmental factors that affect student success. Three environmental factors that affect student success are instruction, curricular materials, and gaps between learner and subject matter.
Instruction affect student success because students must be provided with many opportunities for concept building, relevant challenging questions, problem solving reasoning, and connections within the curriculum and real-world situations.
Curricular materials affect student success because curriculum must be spiraled in order to provide learners to deal with content developmentally over time.
Gap between learner and subject matter affect student success because when the mathematics content being taught is unconnected to students’ ability level and/or experiences, serious achievement gaps result.
3. List and explain four personal or individualized factors that affect student success. Four personal or individualized factors that affect student success are locus of control in learning mathematics, memory ability, attention span, understanding the language of mathematics.
Locus of control refers to those students who lacks determination in successful math student. They believe that doing well in math might be because luck or content was easy. They limit themselves by not generating hard work in order to be successful in math.
Memory ability refers to that student who lack well-developed mental strategies in math. Repetition games are successful with helping students with memory.
