Short name

Short description

Reasoning is best assessed formatively through observation of everyday classroom work and interactions.

Description

Observation of reasoning includes:

watching students as they respond to set tasks. Both formal evaluation, which involves note-taking or other records, and informal evaluation can be equally useful
observing students' work as they figure out the mathematics. Look for evidence of whether and to what extent students are able to reason analytically
listening to students recount processes as well as explaining products
listening to students' explanations, hypotheses and deductions. The Math Reasoning Inventory has an online formative assessment tool
finding out if students understand other students' thinking (perhaps by asking them to repeat it)
asking students to show their thinking or to provide evidence with numbers and words, drawings or materials. Talk to them about their thinking either in a group or individually.
