Using Assessment in the Primary Maths Classroom

Summary

What do you do with the assessment data you have in your classroom?

Assessment in primary mathematics is not simply about comparing pupils against local or national benchmarks. Its real power lies in understanding what children know while there is still time to act. Effective assessment is a continuous cycle of noticing what pupils do, diagnosing the thinking that sits beneath their responses, and responding in ways that deepen understanding rather than just correcting answers.

These sessions explore a Notice - Diagnose - Respond approach to in the moment assessment. Participants will explore how to spot emerging misconceptions, interpret the underlying mathematical ideas, and take targeted action that moves learning forward.

Teachers are encouraged to bring:

• recent assessment data for their class

• copies of pupils’ assessments or work samples

These will be used to develop an action plan tailored to their own class, ready to implement back in the classroom straight away.

Vanessa Brown of Inspiring Maths Education is offering 2 half day session(s) designed to strengthen teachers’ expertise in:

• using in the moment assessment to adapt teaching

• unpicking misconceptions with precision

• supporting deeper and more secure mathematical understanding
