Let's Talk About The Math!

Kristen's Grade 4 class has been working on justifying their answer.  They did an activity where they had to justify which playground they thought would be the best fit for their school based on drawings that they created.


Here are three of the answers that the students gave and the descriptive feedback that they were given (at first by the teacher, then by one student, then by the class) to help them improve next time.

Teacher feedback only.


Feedback from the previous student.

Feedback from the whole class.
As the discussions were happening, the class was really engaged and offered some great ideas as to how to improve.  They did refer to the success criteria when offering some suggested feedback.  Now they are able to take that feedback and apply it to their next task, and become better at justifying their answer.
