Stage 2 - Assessment Evidence
Evaluative Criteria | Assessment Evidence |
1. Accurate answers for problems 2. Correct answer based on method used 3. Justification of methods used 4. Clarity of work and organization 5. Improvement throughout year 6. Working well in a group | PERFORMANCE TASK(S): 1.0 - Group Discussion: asking students what they know about terms of addition and how it helps them in real life 1.1 - Graphic organizer (do understand and do not understand) 2.0 - Adding one-digit numbers together 2.1 - Quiz on simple addition of three numbers 3.0 - Group work 3.1 - Own items - Students bring in a certain number of small objects that they own, and will group up with two other students and have to add their obects together in three different ways 4.0 - Utilizing random choices 4.1 - Dice game - Students will roll three dice, all with the same number of sides but does not matter how many sides, and work to quickly add those three numbers together
Unit Test |
1. Accurate answers for problems 2. Justification of methods used 3. Clarity of work and organization 4. Improvement throughout the year | OTHER EVIDENCE: 1. Test on the terms utilized in addition 2. Test on the overall knowledge of addition of numbers 3. Quizzes throughout the unit making sure students have an understanding of each topic 4. Group discussions on how we are feeling and how we can better each lesson to be more accomodating |
Stage 3 - Learning Plan
Learning Activities:
Summary of Key Learning Events and Instruction
What learning experiences and instruction will enable students to achieve the desired results? How will the design
W = Help the students know Where the unit is going and What is expected? Help the teacher know Where the students are coming from (prior knowledge, interests)?
H = Hook all students, and Hold their interest?
E1 = Equip students, help them Experience the key ideas and Explore the issue?
R = Provide opportunities to Rethink and Revise their understandings and work?
E2 = Allow students to Evaluate their work and its implications?
T = be Tailored (personalized) to the different needs, interests, and abilities of learners?
O = Be Organized to maximize initial and sustained engagement as well as effective learning?
