As we prepare for EQAO next week, we took the opportunity to collectively brainstorm everything we remembered learning about in math this year. I recorded the students' work using Smart Ideas, then I had each student think about something they are pretty comfortable with, as well as 2-3 questions they still have about specific math topics. |
Students wrote their questions and concerns on index cards, which I collected and grouped for tomorrow's math class. Based on this self-assessment, my support teacher and I will work with small groups and individuals to do a bit of specific remediation on the topics which student self-identified as still tricky. In some cases, students will be partnered with other students who indicated their comfort with and willingness to tutor a specific concept.
I am also planning to dig up an extension activity for the 4 students in my class who are very confident overall in math; I had them share what they wanted to learn more about, and will follow up with that later this week for those students.
Once EQAO is done, students will work with a partner or in a small group to create a "math game", addressing at least two strands of math, to teach Grade 2 students for next year.
