Feedback
The teacher monitors students during the learning experiences and assessment opportunities through:
- observation of group work and individual work
- discussion and questioning
- analysis of the students’ work samples.
The teacher provides specific feedback, such as:
- ‘You are right, this object will roll because it is round.’
- ‘You said this shape is not a triangle because it is not pointy at the top. It is a triangle.’ The teacher points to the triangle and says ‘triangles have three sides that meet at three points. Turn the triangle so that one of the points will be at the top.’
- ‘Well done James, you have grouped together all of the shapes with three sides. These shapes are called triangles.’
- ‘James, look at this group. You have grouped a rectangle that is not a square with the squares. It does have four sides but the sides are not all equal. Squares have four sides that are all the same length.’
