I agree that giving a "test" the first few days is harsh, but as educators, we do need to know where students are in their ability. The survey is a much better idea. You can still get an idea of who you have in the class and in a way, knowing their attitude of math might be more important in the long and short run, than what they actually know. As a girl who loves math, it makes me sad to see that the girls don't rate their interest or ability as high as the boys. Something we all can work on. cfoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292842525524702427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256492698354362046.post-57216549941699925392020-10-12T21:18:09.175+11:002020-10-12T21:18:09.175+11:00Thanks for the great blog!Thanks for the great blog!Brendon Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362658216283953749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256492698354362046.post-40441279770605915432020-02-27T11:01:14.911+11:002020-02-27T11:01:14.911+11:00This data is so interesting!

I purposefully cut similar shapes in each puzzle because I knew some of my boys would just ignore the numbers and work by spatial reasoning alone. This way they had to make sure the shape fit but that the numbers matched the pattern as well.<br />Thank you so much for sharing this idea! I can't wait to use it with other number sequences such as prime numbers, doubles, and number sequences in 2s, 5s, 3s and 10s.
