Central Question by Aris Winger https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1 Can a person that gets bad grades have good mathematical identity? How? en-us 2022-09-22 13:49:19 UTC 2022-09-22 15:34:16 UTC hello@padlet.com I don't know if I have a yes or no answer here but I think this is more of a call to change the grading structure to more value the development of math identity https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309002168 2022-09-22 15:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309002168 More qualitative formative feedback, less summative grading. Multiple formats and re-takes for summative grading. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309003631 2022-09-22 15:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309003631 Recognize that grades do NOT motivate students to "do homework" https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309004104 2022-09-22 15:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309004104 Build students self esteem by slowly increasing rigor so they can find success. sawalhay https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309004479 2022-09-22 15:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309004479 They need to see success elsewhere in their math life if they are not seeing it on tests. So maybe in classroom math discussions, projects, real life, or home situations, helping younger kids... https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309004839 2022-09-22 15:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309004839 Also ... can a person with good grades have a poor mathematical identity. I got good grades in math because I memorized formulas, but I always felt like a fake because I didn't understand what I was doing. I think the entire focus needs to shift to the process of math thinking. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309004853 2022-09-22 15:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309004853 Building self-efficacy in lower mathematics to ease into current concepts by way of project-based culturally relevant projects. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309004942 2022-09-22 15:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309004942 Change grading practices so that no one gets a score lower than 50%---from "Grading for Equity"--from a book study this summer https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309005591 2022-09-22 15:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309005591 Having relevant relatable mathematics conversations. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309008184 2022-09-22 15:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309008184 If grades are the only or the main thing that is valued in class no you can't have a positive identity. Is risk taking celebrated is not giving up and struggling also celebrated? Is failing and trying again celebrated? Everyone hits a math wall and a mathematician hits the wall and keeps going. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309008912 2022-09-22 15:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309008912 We have removed traditional grading and only use points https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309009574 2022-09-22 15:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309009574 More opportunities for students to share their thinking on the test, argue for points, etc. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309009607 2022-09-22 15:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309009607 Deconstruct the standards into verbs and kids language. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309009861 2022-09-22 15:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/egwxrp0a3pxvxqm1/wish/2309009861
