Description
Are you constantly reminding your students to show their work when they are answering math problems? This activity has your students compare sample math solutions in order to co-create success criteria. This process helps them realize what details need to be communicated in their solutions to open ended problem solving tasks. The resulting math problem solving success criteria allows your students to self assess their own work and ultimately become self directed learners. When students have clear expectations, they have a pathway to succeed.
TESTIMONIAL
My students and I love this activity because it provides crystal clear expectations for both of us. They know how to go from an A to an A+ and I can easily assign grades based on what criteria they have met.
***************************************************************************
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Activate Prior Knowledge:
A short script of a conversation between a student and a teacher about showing how they came up with the answer. Then, students list things that they need to communicate their answers.
Tips for Teachers:
A guide informing the teacher on how to instruct the students.
Student Example Solutions:
You students will be given different student solutions to compare. They are asked to list reasons why one solution is better than another. These reasons will be very evident and will align with the success criteria that they will use.
Problem Solving Success Criteria:
Students ideas can be listed as success criteria on the blank checklist. There is also a second sheet showing the success criteria the teacher should try to pull out of the students.
Playing Teacher:
Students use the success criteria to mark the work of 4 different students. There are 2 sheets with different questions.
Suggested Marking for Teachers:
A guide showing what marks could be assigned based on the criteria met.
