"This highly practical and readable book gets right down into the detail of what good formative assessment looks like in math classrooms, and shows how teachers can make this a part of their regular planning and instruction." Dylan Wiliam, Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment, University College Imagine how it would feel to notworryabout how to plan, teach, and check for student mathematical understandings and related proficiencies. Imagine if this important process felt like a natural, every day, part of your lesson preparation instead of anextrathing to do. This must-have resource shows the way. NCTM Past President, Francis "Skip" Fennell, and nationally-recognized mathematics educators Beth McCord Kobett and Jonathan (Jon) Wray, offer five of the most impactful, proven assessment techniquesObservations, Interviews, "Show Me," Hinge Questions, and Exit Tasks you can implement, every day. Tried and tested by teachers just like you, youll find that this palette of classroom-based techniques will truly assess learning andinformteaching.

This book gives you a concise, research-based, classroom-dedicated plan with lots of tools, activities, classroom vignettes, and student work to guide your daily use of these techniques The Formative 5. Both within and between lessons, K-8 teachers of mathematics will learn to Think and go beyond assessment of learning, focusing on assessmentforlearning Directly connect assessment to planning and teachingEngineer effective classroom questioning, discussions, and learning tasksProvide success criteria and feedback that moves students forwardIntegrate the Standards for Mathematical PracticeActivate student self-assessors who take ownership of their learning Includes a book study guide, tools and templates, and a companion website with downloadables and multi-media examples of student discussion in the classroom.The Formative 5will help you build your mathematics-related formative assessment capacity through daily use of these five key techniques, leading to regularly monitored and improved learning opportunities for your students.
