Discover useful ways to use multiple-choice testing to better understand students' true mathematical knowledge and comprehension. These practical books show teachers how to move beyond the student's answer -- right or wrong -- to uncover understanding and/or misconceptions. By asking a few simple follow-up questions, teachers can learn a great deal, and make better, more informed instructional decisions.

The Beyond the Bubble books are each divided into five strands -- number, measurement, algebra, geometry, and probability -- with six problems per strand. Each problem includes an overview of the objective of the test question, conversation starters, student work, student-teacher conversations, and instructional strategies to advance student learning. Teachers will also find suggestions for differentiation, reproducible sample questions, and a comprehensive list of additional resources.
