Using Assessment to Raise Achievement in Mathematics
This booklet outlines how assessment for learning can raise achievement in school. Evidence suggests that using good strategies for formative, (day to day) assessment could lead to significant improvements in the performance of pupils.
- Read section 1 on Learning goals, self-assessment and peer assessment and list some ideas for self-assessment. When you are planning to teach a series of lessons on a topic show how you will use these assessment ideas and then use the assessment to inform the next lesson you teach.
- Read the section on effective questioning and list examples of effective questions. In your next lesson plan identify points in the lesson that you could ask a question that will assess children’s learning effectively. When evaluating lesson’s that you have taught, can you find any examples of questions that could be made more effective?
