Thank you for your comments about the maths posts of late.
I received quite a few emails from readers wanting to know a little more about how I am assessing maths in the beginning. So, I thought I would share this short screening checklist with you.
I don’t like to give students a big written maths test, I prefer to customise this based on what I am observing.
But, as I also like to be well prepared for anything, I also am armed with everything I need.
So, here is a quick screening checklist I use to ascertain where to start with the four operations.
As time goes on I of course delve into these areas further and look at place value, problem solving skills and beyond (fractions, space, measurement …) but this is definitely my “Step One”.
Just click here and enjoy!
