 * TASKS**
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**TASK 6** - Read [|Multidimensional Assessment: Guiding Response to Intervention in Mathematics], by K. Koellnr, M. Colsman, & R. Resley (All 3 Essential Questions for this session are related to this article). This article will be very helpful in preparing you for our next session on Math Assessment.
 * **Task 7**** - Create a Metaphor to Teach a Measurement Term **
 * Use the glossary of Measurement Terms included in your class handouts to select a term that can be taught using a metaphor (like the bathroom scale metaphor for Reliability & Validity). Use pictures and/or a description to teach the term using this metaphor.

>>
 * **Task 8**** - Individual Assessment & Documentation Practice **
 * Select two test subjects and two informal reading assessments.(There are at least 9 assessments provided on the Class Assessment Library wiki that you can use)
 * Administer both tests to each subject (for a total of four test administrations)
 * Use the modified state IEP evaluation page (downloadable form below) to document your results for each student (Use one page for each student).
