“Check for Understanding” is more than just a form of assessment; it’s a dynamic approach to gauging comprehension that goes beyond traditional tests and grades. This strategy ensures that every pupil, regardless of their learning style or background, has ample opportunities to grasp and apply the material.
The powerful strategy of “Chunking” – a technique that enhances learning by presenting information in manageable, bite-sized portions.
The “Show Call… No Opt Out” strategy is designed to create an environment where every student is encouraged to contribute and where learning becomes a collective effort.
The “Show Call” component involves randomly selecting pupila to demonstrate their understanding. This can be through sharing their thoughts, presenting a solution, or any other form of active participation. By giving each pupil a chance to “show,” it ensures that everyone is involved in the learning process.
The “No Opt Out” principle reinforces the idea that there is no option to disengage. If a pupil is unsure or hesitant, instead of allowing them to opt out, the strategy encourages scaffolded support.
A scatter diagram is a graphical representation of data points in a two-dimensional space. It displays the values of two variables, with one variable plotted along the horizontal (x) axis and the other along the vertical (y) axis. Each data point is represented by a dot, allowing us to observe patterns, trends, and correlations between the variables.
A frequency diagram, or histogram, is a graphical representation of data that groups data points into intervals (or bins) along the horizontal axis. The height of each bar represents the frequency, or the number of data points falling within that interval. Unlike bar charts, there are no gaps between the bars in a histogram since the data is continuous.
A bar chart is a graphical representation of data where rectangular bars are used to represent different categories or groups. The length of each bar is proportional to the value it represents. Bar charts are particularly useful for comparing discrete categories and understanding their relationships.
Pie charts are a powerful visual tool used to represent data in a clear and easily understandable way. They are especially useful when you want to showcase how different parts contribute to a whole.
