Day 3 of the NCTM Academy focuses on innovative ways to assess elementary mathematics understanding. We discuss how to evaluate students informally and formally, explore the concept of 'Pocket Change' to enhance engagement, and reflect on various types of portfolios. Using the metaphor of scaffolding, we highlight the importance of building a solid foundation for mathematical comprehension, while ensuring assessment practices contribute positively to student growth. Join us for practical strategies and insights to enhance your assessment practices.

Scaffolding Masons, when they start upon a building, Are careful to test out the scaffolding; Make sure that planks won’t slip at busy point, Secure all ladders, tighten bolted joints. And yet all this comes down when the job’s done Showing off walls of sure and solid stone. So if, my dear, there sometimes seem to be Old bridges breaking between you and me Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall Confident that we have built our wall. Seamus Heaney
