Enhancing Mathematics Learning through Effective Assessment and Evaluation Strategies

This session aims to deepen understanding of the foundational principle of providing assessment and evaluation in mathematics that genuinely supports student learning. It's essential for educators to shift from evaluating based solely on correct answers to understanding students' thought processes through interpretive listening. By engaging students with thought-provoking questions, teachers can gather insightful information to adjust their instruction effectively. This approach is vital for developing a strong numeracy plan that addresses individual learning needs and promotes deeper student engagement and understanding.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Exploring Foundational Principle : “Provide assessment and evaluation in mathematics that supports student learning”

  2. “…teachers generally listen for the ‘correct’ answer instead of listening for what they can learn about the students’ thinking; they listen evaluatively rather than interpretively. The teachers with whom we have worked have tried to address this issue by asking students questions that either prompt students to think or provide teachers with information that they can use to adjust instruction to meet learning needs.” – Leahy, S., Lyon, C., Thompson, M., & William, D. (2005)

  3. Goals of this session Deepen knowledge and understanding of the Foundational Principle – “Provide assessment and evaluation in mathematics that supports student learning” Connect this knowledge and understanding to a selected resource Share this learning with your Team deciding how it may impact your Numeracy plan

  4. Reading/ Reflecting upon Foundational Principle - “Provide assessment and evaluation in mathematics that supports student learning” As you read page 9, note the strengths and challenges evident in your FOS/District work Explain how you know. What is the evidence of impact? 

  5. Marian Small Author/Educator/Consultant “Assessment” How do Marian Small’s comments enhance understanding of the Foundational Principle - “Provide assessment and evaluation in mathematics that supports student learning”?

  6. SelectedResources Summary of Results and Strategies for Teachers, 2012–2013

  7. Review/reacquaint yourself with the resource at your table. In your Math plan, how might you use this resource to implement the Foundational Principle - “Provide assessment and evaluation in mathematics that supports student learning”? Record ideas to share with your Board Team
