Course Aims:
- To build a clear understanding of how formative, summative and diagnostic assessments can reveal pupils’ mathematical thinking and inform teaching.
- To explore high impact formative assessment strategies — including effective questioning, responsive teaching and quick fire checks for understanding.
- To evaluate practical assessment tools, both low tech and digital, and consider how they help identify misconceptions and guide next steps.
- To develop approaches for giving feedback that is timely, actionable and manageable, supporting pupils to improve with confidence.
- To strengthen confidence in designing meaningful assessment opportunities within everyday maths lessons, creating a classroom culture where evidence of learning is continuously gathered and used.
