Assessment
Pre assessment
A modified version of the Frayer model was used to establish students’ prior
knowledge of pattern and function. A modified version of the Frayer model was
used to establish students’ prior knowledge of pattern and function.
Formative assessment
Throughout the unit students engaged in a variety of
formative assessment tasks that enabled the teachers to
observe the development of each student’s knowledge, skills
and attitudes in an ongoing way. This data was used to inform
future learning.
This assessment included
• a range of differentiated patterning and function tasks
• reflections using a range of sentence starters
• and the “Up and Down” reflection tool.
The students also self-assessed themselves against the key
concepts and skills from the unit. Teachers maintained
anecdotal records on student progress and development
throughout the unit.
Examples of
differentiated
learning
engagement
Patterns at different levels of
difficulty were given to students.
Students and teachers chose the
‘just right’ level for each child.
Teachers used information from
this task to inform them of
individual student’s learning and
further areas of need. The year
5 team also used this task to
formally moderate and reflect
on the future directions of the
unit.
The Year 5 teachers met, moderated and discussed the information gained
through these activities using the unit’s rubric. This process was essential in
order to reflect on the direction of the remainder of the unit.
End of unit
reflection
examples
At the conclusion of the
unit, students reflected on
the PYP essential elements
and self- assessed their
development against the
units’ targets.
Rubric
This rubric was developed by the Year 5 team and the PYP coordinator using the IB Scope
and Sequence for mathematics along with supporting school documentation. Teachers
used this rubric throughout the unit to moderate student learning and to reflect on future
directions for the unit. The rubric was used for the summative task. Students had access to
the rubric throughout the unit and used it as a guide them when doing the summative task.
Targets
These targets are a written in
student friendly language. Students
use these to self-assess at the
beginning and the end of the unit.
The school is considering phasing
these out as they do not fully
match the developmental approach
of the maths scope and sequence.
The intention is to develop more
student friendly rubrics, which can
also be used for self-assessment
purposes.
