Based on Eqao results our high reading scores seem to support our results in Math Open Response questions (they are higher on avg than M/C)

# data[].attributes.body
Showing up as an area of weakness in comparison to Open response - do we need to focus more energy on teaching how to tackle m/c?
Should we incorporate more multiple choice during assessment starting in grade 4 and 5? In group problem solving across the division?

# data[].attributes.body
We have focused on PPE (Point, Proof, Explanation) for our written response to reading comprehension questions in Grade 6. This strategy seems to be working, as is evidenced by our students' Open Response answers on EQAO. Perhaps using this format as a division would be beneficial.

Having number sense all year no matter what unit the class is working on.

-When students are done work, have students fill in a 100 chart, or other 'game' like activities to help them to get further in their understanding and conceptual knowledge

Revisit a previously learned concept. On the same note, when giving a test, include questions from previously taught learning cycles to reinforce concepts, keep it fresh, and allow students who didn't master the concept earlier, another opportunity to demonstrate their understanding.

Not huge difference between open response and multiple choice questions in terms of scoring- continue to support the use of showing work even on multiple choice questions

# data[].attributes.body
-only 59% of our kids could solve "What is the mean of these seven questions"
-maybe the concept is covered earlier in the year and then not looked at again - kids can't remember the definition of the terms - mean, median and mode

-only 34% of our kids could find the shape with the biggest area given a square, rectangle, parallelogram and triangle - 39% of our kids forgot to divide the area in half when calculating the area of a triangle

-sets of Wipebooks (vertical, non-permeable charts) for each classroom (approx. 5-6 per classroom)
-students thrive in this environment, where they can see what their peers are doing, feel comfortable to make mistakes and erase them, stand and work with peers to solve problems etc.
