Math Wall - Reactions to how your students did on the Interim Assessment by JAY GEHRINGER https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo Made with a quick smile en-us 2019-11-17 21:12:38 UTC 2019-11-21 03:28:05 UTC hello@padlet.com Teen driving https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414357841 I need to emphasize to them that it's not asking for their opinion. They must make a rational choice and give their rationale supported by math evidence]]> 2019-11-20 22:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414357841 Teen driving mmonarch https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414358129 My under achieving students in class performed much better than I had expected. Took the test seriously? More so than class? ]]> 2019-11-20 22:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414358129 Overall pjk2254 https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414361243 I'm really doing a great job preparing students for the SBAC, as evidenced by the increase in last year's scores!]]> 2019-11-20 22:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414361243 Put math on there! robert_yousefian https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414361472 2019-11-20 22:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414361472 I was surprised that so many strong students did not make the calculation for rate of change on one of the teen driving question. It suggests they were not aware of the language in relation to what was expected. https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414361584 2019-11-20 22:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414361584 Overall vgonza31 https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414362494 After I hand-graded the test, I made a couple of comments about it to some of my students.  I was taken back by some of their comments; rather than admitting their deficiency and/or need to improve, some said they have consistently and purposely "tank" every test since middle school.
We, teachers, have to do a better job at braking down their defenses, to let them know it is "ok" to "not be good at math" and ask for help.

Makes me feel they are trying their best! irene_zambrano https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414362954 2019-11-20 22:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414362954 I know what to emphasize, when we review their answers. https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414363050 2019-11-20 22:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414363050 Students were deciphering the information in a non-mathematical way. They wrote what they felt rather than use mathematics to support their answers. mmetcalf6 https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414363324 2019-11-20 22:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414363324 irene_zambrano https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414364135 2019-11-20 22:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414364135 nxs4695 https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414364406 expose them to the math language used on the IAB/IAC]]> 2019-11-20 22:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414364406 My students' performance is a reflection of how they are doing in class. The top 10% of my students did as expected. I will train my students on how to respond to the level of rigor that the test demands. neville_brown2 https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414364484 2019-11-20 22:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414364484 Paper and pencil made mandatory on standardized tests will mean a world of difference. Consider how much of our in -class instruction is done through diagramming, making tables, thought maps, graphs and to assume that without these supports, our students can perform competently is short sighted on our part and hubris on our students'. https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414365297 Cynthia dsouza]]> 2019-11-20 22:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414365297 I believe my students can do better if I was given more time to cover all the concepts. There was not enough time in my pacing guide to go over all the concepts for the concepts in the IAB. I say push the IAB's til December. It would be a good review for final exams as well and teachers time to grade the Hand Scoring during break.

As if we want to teach them how to take the test and read the questions. luis_sanchez41 https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414367668 2019-11-20 22:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jgehring2/ojgzj8p06zdo/wish/414367668
