At the end of the year, it is always so interesting and insightful when students reflect on what they have learned. In 3rd grade, we asked students to show all of the things they learned about different concepts and list any questions they have. We typically do this for the major work of grade concepts and in this example, we asked about multiplication.

I absolutely loved all of the different ways of showing what they know and REALLY loved that it wasn’t just a list of multiplication facts. We also got a great question about multiplying negative numbers!

I just think about being the 4th grade teacher getting these papers to learn more about the students’ understandings coming into my class next year. How much more valuable would these be than a STAR score?

Happy end of the school year everyone!
