Feedback
The teacher monitors students during the learning experiences and assessment opportunities through:
- observation during guided practice and independent practice
- analysis of the students’ work samples.
The teacher monitors the number of problems completed by Robert during independent practice.
The teacher provides specific feedback, such as:
- ‘You have set out your work correctly, making sure that the ones, tens and hundreds in the bottom number are under the ones, tens and hundreds in the top number. The bottom number has no hundreds so nothing is recorded in the hundreds column.’
- ‘In your first line of working, you correctly multiplied 4 by 6 to get 24. You recorded 4 in the ones column of your first line of working and the two tens above the number of tens in the top number of the two numbers you were multiplying. You correctly multiplied 1 by 6 to find 6 but in recording the number of tens in the tens column in your first line of working, you forgot to add the 2 tens. Correct your first line of working by adding the 2 tens to the 6 tens.’
- ‘Well done Robert, you have followed the procedure correctly for two-digit by two-digit multiplication.’
- ‘Robert, when you multiply numbers using the extended form, you need to record the numbers in your working in the correct columns. The second line of working is for multiplying by tens, so a zero needs to be recorded in the ones column. Use your grid paper to re-work the problem, remembering to record the zero in the ones column of the second line of working.’
