Photorealistic classroom scene of diverse 9-13-year-olds engaged in formative and summative assessment: a teacher circulates with a tablet, leaning to ask a student; small groups build fractions with colored tiles and run a simple measuring-cup experiment with a timer; some students jot reflections on sticky notes for peer checks while others complete a short paper task at a side table; rubric-like sheets and worksheets are visible but unreadable; warm natural light, shallow depth of field, candid interactions, authentic manipulatives and classroom details.
  • Formative:
    • Observation checklists, one‑minute reflections, exit tickets, peer checks.
    • Use the “Information Ladder” and “3‑2‑1” methods embedded in reflection.
    • Quick oral prompts during circulation: “Where did you check your assumption?”; “What evidence supports that result?”
  • Summative:
    • Performance tasks (design + execute experiment; create and justify fraction constructions).
    • Rubrics that assess (a) concrete manipulation and accuracy, (b) translation to symbolic/math language, (c) quality of explanation/argument.
    • Traditional short test combining symbolic problems and an applied question referencing the classroom manipulative activity.
