Group assessment enables collaboration and learning about how we can learn and solve mathematical problems. https://padlet.com/matthewalanoldr/a7t4r6racuja/wish/140373391 2016-11-29 00:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewalanoldr/a7t4r6racuja/wish/140373391 Allow for collaboration and group work.

The skills students learn today will impact their future. The ideas behind math and the thinking that comes from developing solutions to real problems is critical. Observations and conversations are extremely important in the reasoning and proving of math, one a teacher can't necessarily get from a test or product. Tests and grades imply that learning is over...that is one of the biggest failures of math classrooms]]> 2016-11-29 01:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewalanoldr/a7t4r6racuja/wish/140373426 conversations https://padlet.com/matthewalanoldr/a7t4r6racuja/wish/140373541 I find that 1-to-1 conversations with students about their learning provides me with great insight into their thinking and understanding

Assessment needs to be about us figuring out how our students are thinking!]]> 2016-11-29 01:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewalanoldr/a7t4r6racuja/wish/140373779 triangulation https://padlet.com/matthewalanoldr/a7t4r6racuja/wish/140373782 I am trying out the student learning notebook to keep track of my observations and conversations as well as products.

Trajectories and landscapes keep me reflecting creative and curious about learning in my class. They help add a voice to my reflections on Learning as well as leading me to ask more questions!

Something tells me our curriculum tells us more about HOW to assess than we might think!  Notice the verbs within each expectation!  Notice the tools/strategies we are to assess!
