I teach MATH.
I “think”
I teach math well.
BUT…
HOW DO I KNOW IF THEY “GET IT”???
How do I know if they have mastered ( or internalized )
the concept,
BEFORE THE TESTING BEGINS???
I mean…it’s NOT…
I REPEAT…NOT
always about
THE TEST!
But.. my kiddos WANT to do well!
Even in First Grade, they KNOW!
They KNOW TESTS COUNT!
Whether or not we like tests or don’t,
TESTS COUNT!
And so…
I have a district purchased math curriculum
I am required to teach.
We use Expressions.
I have a pacing guide from my district to use as a “tool”
to
Keep ME on track.
Mostly to ensure I have taught the required concepts for
THE TEST!
I am NOT a fan of WASTED WORKSHEETS!
SOME…I LIKE!
SOME…I DON’T!
So …now what?
I NEED DATA!
SHOW ME WHAT YOU KNOW!
And so…
THEY DO!
Here is my Lesson on
ADDITION using 3 digits:
So.. NOW WHAT?
Now I have LOTS of DATA
(Student information)
to put students into
I have noted students who need scaffolding in:
number sense
subitizing
numbers beyond 10
addition
grouping numbers
writing numbers
expanding numbers
place value
shape recognition
AND ALL OF THIS…
with 2 pieces of white paper & some crayons!
But…
in the next few weeks
when we
“TEST”
My kiddos will “GET IT”!
I know they will!
