The tips provided about erasing completely and having a good breakfast are solid, as are the specific math strategies like looking for patterns and drawing picture to solve problems.\n--Stephanie Farnlacher, Trace Crossing Elementary School, Hoover, LA\n\nThis is a super tool for teachers to use with classes preparing for standardized tests. It covers everything students would need to know and shows good examples. Wonderful explanations of the types of math problems that children may encounter. As a Math Teacher for 12 years, I really appreciated specific aspects to this video.\n--Kids First Adult Juror Comment\n\nThis DVD serves as an excellent introduction to assessment tests. A friendly pencil named Marko gives \"tips\" to taking tests. Multiple choice tests with math word problems may be new or difficult for children who are not continually tested in this format, but Marko takes all the scariness out of the tests. Using example problems, Marko and the virtual student explain and show kids just how to read the entire question, select the information that is required to answer the question, and how to reason out the best answer by reading all the answers and selecting the one that answers the question. Marko demonstrates how to properly mark the test booklet by filling in the bubble completely. He also tells kids to erase any other marks from the paper to ensure they receive the proper credit for their answers. Marko the Pencil moves through a variety of problems that appear on most standardized tests. By the end of the show, children should feel comfortable with the formatting of standardized testing and the types of problems they will be required to solve and mark correctly within a test booklet or on an answer sheet. This DVD is recommended because it is a great way to introduce testing to children who have not previously been in a testing situation. --Kate O'Mara Eclectic Homeschool Online\n\nThis is a super tool for teachers to use with classes preparing for standardized tests.
