Feedback
The teacher monitors students during the learning experiences and assessment opportunities through:
- observation of student discussions when they are working in pairs
- teacher-led discussion and questioning
- analysis of the students’ work samples.
The teacher provides specific feedback, such as:
- ‘Well done, “equal chance”, “one-in-two chance” and “fifty-fifty” should all be halfway along your rating scale.’
- ‘The column for “tails” on your graph does not match the tally marks in your table. Fix the column so that it matches the tally marks.’
- ‘Emma, your group predicted that you would toss one “head” and two “tails”. After you tossed your coins you recorded three “heads”. Your graph shows “heads” had the higher result. This was not your expected result.’
- ‘Emma, “certain” means “sure to happen”. You have recorded Sport in the “certain” column. Last week Sport was changed to Thursday because it rained. Sport would be better in the “uncertain” column.’
