Snapshot: Assessment

Here are just a few methods of assessment I have used in the classroom.

Checking In

What stuck with you today?

• I frequently ask students to use sticky notes to answer a question.

• Student initials on the top right corner.

• I use this as an exit card and as an assessment of learning.

• In the photo below I "checked in" on my students ability to solve a long division question. This assessment helped me to cater future lessons. ex. New division strategies (see final snapshot)

Boards Up!

Introduced a new activity today, where students answered questions on a white boards.

This is a simple form of assessment of learning to see the depth of student understanding.

Here I taught a new long division strategy as a follow up to the long division checkin seen at the top of the page.
