welcome to mathology.ca
in this video i'm going to show you some
of the tools to help you assess and keep
track of student learning
mathology.ca helps you to determine what
students know and how to move them
forward
today i'm going to use one of the
lessons i've already pinned to my home
screen
this is a grade 5 lesson that will focus
on addition and
addition strategies with numbers to ten
thousand
if we go into the lesson we'll see that
students are going to be collecting
money for a fundraiser by cashing in
checks and keeping track of the total
in the consolidation you see a variety
of different strategies that students
may use
at this time you might want to use the
assessment
line master
if you click on it you're able to print
out all the strategies and behaviors
that you might be looking for so you can
keep track along the way
you can also keep track of all of this
in the assessment tab
here i've uploaded my grade 5 demo class
if you'd like to create your own
classroom you can do that by clicking on
student management in the top right
corner
as teachers are walking around they
notice a variety of different strategies
that students are using or behaviors
they display
as they see those strategies they can
click on individual students and drag
and drop them into the box
they can also keep track of what they
saw students do
perhaps they were using a number line
as you continue to talk about
addition strategies
and this student
moves along the continuum
and you drag and drop them further along
ideally into the last box meeting on
grade expectations you'll notice that
it's time stamped as we move along
to show not only where they end up but
where they came from as well
by clicking on the next steps you see a
next step immediately in the moment to
help move them into that final box
for additional next steps you can go
into the next steps tab
here you see a variety of mini lessons
as
intervention or extension if your
students need that
it gives you some suggestions or look
fors of misconceptions that students may
have
as well as next steps in class
and at home
that can all be easily printed with this
green button in the bottom right corner
once you've gathered data for a variety
of lessons you can take a closer look at
the analytics by clicking on the
analytics tab in the top right corner
you can take a look at how your class
and individual students are doing
i need to set this to grade 5
and now i can see all the assessments
that i've done with my class
if i scroll back up to the top
i personally love the curriculum view
it gives me a really quick glance at
each one of the expectations
when i open up the expectation i can see
how my students are doing on this
particular overall
if i click on another one it'll open up
to c
here you'll notice the status as either
on track
in progress or in some cases
needing attention
if i scroll back up to the top i can
toggle between my whole class
and individual students
in this case we'll take a closer look at
dimitri using the curriculum view
here we can see for the first overall
expectation he's doing well
being on track with representing larger
numbers and exploring taxes
but we may need to go back and revisit
equivalent fractions
if i click on the second overall
you'll notice that i do need to pay
closer attention to when he's
subtracting with decimal numbers
if i click on the details i can see a
little bit more information about what
exactly he can do
and any comments i may have added along
the way
if you prefer all of this information
can be exported into a document or even
printed to make it easier for you
let's go back home for a quick recap
remember that each lesson
has an assessment tab
where you're able to gather data for
your class by dragging and dropping
students into the box
you've got immediate next steps in the
moment
as well as next steps in the tab
all of this information is gathered by
analytics
both for your whole class
as well as individual students
