Math Test Correction Sheet Instructions
If you are absent on test mastery day, you have one week to complete test corrections. The week begins on the day that test mastery was scheduled.
You may get help from your notes, textbook, textbook app, homework, or teacher. However, make sure you understand your errors enough to explain them clearly.
You must do the following on the Math Test Correction Sheet for each incorrect question or problem on the test:
- Write at least two complete sentences explaining what your error was and what you need to do to correct it. Write enough to prove that you understand it now.
- Show all work to correct the problem or question and include the right answer.
- Write at least one complete sentence explaining what you learned from your mistake.
Example Sentences
"I made a mistake with exponent rules in the original expression. I should have added the exponents, but instead I multiplied them. To fix this I will have to use the product rule instead of the power rule."
"My error was just a simple multiplication mistake. The volume for the cylinder that I found was twice as big as it should be because I accidentally multiplied the height and area of the base incorrectly. I wrote that 6x4 was 48. It was just a silly mistake."
Self-Assessment Instructions
- Using the checklist, identify your current performance level
- Identify your desired performance level
- Describe how your test score compares to your current performance level and your desired performance level
- Identify three goals to achieve your desired performance level
- After your self-assessment has been returned, place it in the front of your binder/folder to serve as a visual reminder of your goals
