Multiple Representations of Mathematic Mastery
0 likes306 views
This document discusses assessing student understanding through multiple representations. It presents a workshop where teachers try different activity stations to represent geometry concepts, including paper and pencil, computer programs, art, and photography. The document suggests assessing students' understanding based on the representations they create. It also discusses benefits and disadvantages of using these types of activities for assessment and how realistic they are for the classroom. Further strategies are brainstormed for allowing students to demonstrate their ideas through multiple modes like audio, video, drama and presentations. Related resources on the topic are provided.

- 15. Group Reports With regards to each specific representation: • How might you assess the students’ understanding of the content? • Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of assessing students’ understanding/mastery using this type of activity.
- 16. Follow-up Discussion Discuss using these kinds of activities and projects in the classroom. •Are there any benefits? •Are there any disadvantages? •How realistic would this be in your teaching situation? •How do you think the students would react to being assessed with these kinds of strategies?
- 17. Handing It In Submit one activity from the station that you think best represents your understanding of these geometry terms to be graded. What would you submit?
- 18. Another Option You could complete one of these representations (pennies) for this unit. Then use a different one (digital camera) for the next.
- 19. Extension Discussion Let’s brainstorm some other strategies for allowing students to represent their ideas through multiple modes.
- 20. Other Possible Strategies • Audio • Video • Drama • Clay or Playdough • Geometry Notebooks • Geometry Scavenger Hunt • Geometry Hike • Presentations (perhaps in lower grades) • Art Collage • Create a Game
