I think your assessment ideas are really interesting and something that I have been pondering for a while. I'm definitely going to be trying out lots of your approaches with my Y6 maths class in September.

We often discuss the importance of this and so they begin to understand that in their summative reflections, they should always try to explain the WHYs. Hope this makes sense? Your prompt question ideas are great and would also help the children to dig deeper into their thinking!Graeme Anshaw mathematical enquirieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341203090411799651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068878076818400776.post-83380852545902781542016-03-10T23:13:04.855-08:002016-03-10T23:13:04.855-08:00I've been thinking about this idea for a while...I've been thinking about this idea for a while now and I like its potential for showing understanding. What sort of prompts (if any) do you give to ensure students demonstrate a depth of understanding rather than just surface connections to the central idea. For example, do you ask, "How can you show that using numbers?" or "Why is that the case?"

The 'whys' can often be forgotten in maths learning, but when we see those 'light bulb' moments go off in kids when they discover the 'whys', we can see how important they are to really have a deep maths understanding ΓΌ 'how's' in maths summatives could merely be showing a child's ability to rote learn, but when we give them a chance to explain why, I think that's when the real and deep learning takes place.

BTW, why can't maths learning take on an historical edge? This is what the kids wanted to find out, so that's what we found out. :)Graeme Anshaw mathematical enquirieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341203090411799651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068878076818400776.post-26773722824469904752015-10-16T05:22:47.362-07:002015-10-16T05:22:47.362-07:00All words and not a single number.
