It is important to learn as much about our students
as we can. We want to purposefully collect this information to meet the
individual student needs in the multi-age classroom. This can be done by
using meaningful mathematics tasks with self-directed explorations. Rich
and engaging group math tasks can teach kids that mathematics will be both
challenging and intellectually stimulating. Help students recognize the
value of manipulatives as mathematical models
or tools. Process experiences in a way that helps kids learn to work effectively
together. Use these tasks to observe and assess students' mathematical
understandings and dispositions.
