Digging Deeper
Digging Deeper into a simple money-sharing problem takes a deep look at the ways in which a problem can provide us with formative assessment information. This is a mini-course that can earn the participant a certificate for two hours of Professional Development.
The Top 5 for this course focusses on being able to identify the complexities that even a simple problem can contain, the effect of multiple entry points and the misconceptions that the problem might uncover. By presenting many examples of actual student solutions, we show what the student understanding and levels of confidence might be and discuss what action might follow these formative assessments.
Grade Level
Ideal for any teacher who wants to make the most of information that can be gathered from student responses to a typical maths problem.
