Ms. Sheena taught the concept of area of circle. Which of the following is the BEST example of an 'authentic task' to assess students on this?  Correct Answer Buy the right amount of paint for painting a circular table in school. 

The authentic and meaningful tasks should be immediately given after a teacher explains the concepts to the students so that the teacher may get the idea of how far the students have understood the concept and if there is any need to change the teaching strategy used by the teacher currently. Key PointsHere the teacher after explaining the concept of the area of a circle can ask the students to buy the right amount of paint for painting a circular table in a school because

  • To know the exact amount of paint that will be sufficient for the circular table in the school first students need to calculate the area of the circular table.
  • As the top of the table is circular the students first calculate the radius of the circular top.
  • Then according to the radius students use the formula for the area of a circle and calculate the area of the circular table in their school.
  • Finally, they conclude how much paint can be sufficient to paint the table in a certain area.
  • Here application of knowledge in a real situation happens and the children learn through their own experiences.

Hence the teacher asking students to buy the right amount of paint for painting a circular table in the school is an authentic task to assess the students regarding the concept of the area of a circle. Additional Information

  • On the other hand, directly giving the values to the student and asking them about the area or diameter of a circle or asking them to design a bangle for their sister by using a wire does not access the concept of the area of a circle.
