Day-to-day assessment in mathematics - Page 7

Next steps

  • How well are you prepared to carry out effective assessment for learning?
  • Do you feel confident in:
    • planning for the assessment of children's achievements and progress in mathematics
    • observing learning and probing children's mathematics learning, using open and closed questions and sustained dialogue
    • interpreting responses and analysing the information gathered, in order to decide what mathematics children have learned, the next steps in their learning and how to secure their progress
    • providing children with constructive and positive feedback on their achievement and progress
    • setting goals and success criteria that children understand and can use to guide and assess their own learning
    • engaging children in the assessment process so that they recognise the progress they are making and what they need to do to improve?
  • What continuing professional development is planned for the school that will help to strengthen assessment for learning in mathematics?
