While Gordon checked on the students as they worked on the math he was able to assess students
who were able to expand on their work and he encouraged them to show an extra strategy. As he
assessed each group he was able to pair students who could benefit from each other and they could
self-assess during the lesson. When the students came up to share their work he was able to use an
incorrect answer as a teaching point for a few other students who made the same type of error. The
share-out sessions was also an assessment for academic language within the math setting. Students
were able to hear math language and vocabulary as it was incorporated into the share-out.
they felt confident they were allowed to partner with another student who made the same number choices.
When students finished their problems and had two strategies, some were asked to share with the rest of the
class their answers and strategies with their work under the Elmo so the class can observe different
strategies and ways of thinking and problem solving.
