Assessment AS Learning

Student Reflections on Measuring Length

This is an example of assessment AS learning. It was used with ten

students on Wednesday November 22nd during a math provocation on
measuring length. The students were given various objects to measuring
using unifix cubes and once the objects were measured they ordered them
from longest to shortest. This piece is assessment AS learning because
the students were guided to monitor their own progress and determine
what they needed to do next in order to be successful (Growing Success
Kindergarten Addendum, p. 6). While they were working through the task
of measuring and sorting, Teacher Candidate was asking questions such
as “how do you know they are in order from longest to shortest?”
encouraging students to reflect on the steps they took to reach the
learning goal which helped to build confident learners. The anecdotal
record sheet notes a 1, 2, and 3 with check marks beside each number.
This was a way to track the success criteria of the learning goal and to
ensure student goals were being met while they worked.
