Formative Assessment Strategies:

1. Technology- Pear deck, coggle, jam board activities

2. Mini whiteboards- students wrote out all of the combinations of the number 10
3. Exit tickets (written)- part-part-whole exit ticket
4. Dismissal questions (verbal)- using the counting on strategy, each student was given a
different addition problem to solve before being dismissed
5. Around the world game (this game could be adapted for any subject/topic)- one student
stands by another student’s desk and the first person to answer the question correctly
moves on to the next person. The goal of the game is to answer each question correctly
before each of your classmates. We played this game when I gave students an addition
math problem and they had to use the counting on strategy to solve the problem.
6. In social we were talking about rules so I had each student write a either a family,
school, or classroom rule on a sticky note and they had to sort their rule into one of
these categories
7. In science we labelled on side of the classroom as flexible and the other side as inflexible
you could also label the sides of the classroom as absorbent vs non-absorbent or object
vs material, etc. (this activity could be adapted for any subject/topic)- I listed different
materials and students decided if they were flexible or inflexible by moving to the
corresponding side of the room
8. In guided math we use a formative assessment checklist daily that includes student
names, lesson/assessment/skill title, and date. We also make observation notes during
the math with a teacher station and record if students got it, partial, or not yet. Using
this information, we determine how to differentiate for the following lessons.
