This is the entire presentation. Fun Formatives to Accelerate your Students' Learning.

1. Fun Formatives to Accelerate Student Learning JaimieFoulk—Physics First Instructor Marsha Tyson—Oakland Jr. High School/PF Instructor Ann Neubauer—South Shelby High School http://www.slideshare.net/mtyson

2. Summative vs. Formative Assessment When the cook tastes the soup, that’s formative; when the guests tastes the soup, that’s summative. Teachers use formative assessments to modify instruction and see how much students are understanding. Students can use also use formative assessments to evaluate their own understanding.

3. Formative Assessment Strategy 1 COLORED PAPER SORT Pink slip--Write down some of the different types of Summative Assessments you have in your course Blue slip--Write down some of the different types of Formative Assessments you have in your course Let’s Sort and Share! How could you use this strategy to assess student understanding TOMORROW OR THE NEXT UNIT?

4. Formative Assessment Strategy 2 FRAMING QUESTIONS What do you think? What do you think your students will say? How could you use this strategy to assess student understanding TOMORROW OR THE NEXT UNIT? Let’s Share!

5. Box-O-CarsLearning with Motion Diagrams Purpose:Describe the motion of several toys and match them with motion diagrams? Observations—Describe how each toy looks when it moves NOT why it moves. Match a motion diagram card with a toy or make your own. One car may have multiple motion diagram cards. WHAT IS A MOTION DIAGRAM?

6. Teacher Talk Suppose that you had a car which was leaking oil at regular intervals. Drip, Drip, Drip! Each oil drop represents where the car is at that moment in time. You then put an arrow in-between representing the velocity vector. We model the position of the object with a small point. At each position, the object's velocity is represented by a vector. Match a motion diagram card with a toy or make your own. One car may have multiple motion diagram cards.

7. Formative Assessment Strategy 3 4 CORNERS Take your car and motion diagram and go to your toy corner. Talk with the other people about which car they selected and why. Let’s Share! How could you use this strategy to assess student understanding TOMORROW OR THE NEXT UNIT?

8. Formative Assessment Strategy 4 TASK CARDS Use the task cards sheets to fill the pictures and graphs out as we go.

9. Position vs. Time graphs vs Motion Diagrams Teacher Talk

10. Motion Diagram from Position vs. Time Graphs Teacher Talk

11. Position vs. Time Graphs Teacher Talk We know from the motion diagram earlier that this object speeds up. It goes in a positive direction because the slope is positive. Position (m) Time (sec)

12. Position vs. Time Graphs Teacher Talk How does this object move? Position (m) Positive Direction Slowing Down Time (sec)

13. Position vs. Time Graphs Teacher Talk How does this object move? Negative Direction Speeding Up Position (m) Time (sec) How does this object move? Position (m) Negative Direction Slowing Down Time (sec)

14. Formative Assessment Strategy 4 TASK CARDS Cut the cards out into pieces and place them face down. Repetition!! Repetition!! Repetition!!  How could you use this strategy to assess student understanding TOMORROW OR THE NEXT UNIT?

15. Velocity vs. Time Graphs Teacher Talk We know from earlier this object moves: Positive Direction Speeding up Position (m) 0 Time (sec)

16. Velocity vs. Time Graphs Teacher Talk We know from earlier this object moves: Negative Direction Speeding up Position (m) 0 Time (sec)

17. Velocity vs. Time Graphs Teacher Talk We know from earlier this object moves: Positive Direction Slowing Down Position (m) 0 Time (sec)

18. Velocity vs. Time Graphs Teacher Talk We know from earlier this object moves: Negative Direction Slowing Down Position (m) 0 Time (sec)

19. Formative Assessment Strategy 5 GAME CARD FOLDABLE Fill out the game card and fold into 4 strips How could you use this strategy to assess student understanding TOMORROW OR THE NEXT UNIT?

20. Formative Assessment Strategy 6 PAPER PASS Teams of 3 or 4 Practice using pictures, graphs and motion diagrams for more complicated scenarios Hint: Acceleration comes from the slope of the V vs. T graph (either + or -) How could you use this strategy to assess student understanding TOMORROW OR THE NEXT UNIT?

21. Formative Assessment Strategy 7 VERSATILES Makes review a lot more interactive Differentiated learning is a lot easier Give students valuable information about how well they understand the content. How could you use this strategy to assess student understanding TOMORROW OR THE NEXT UNIT?

22. Formative Assessment Strategy 8 PICK-A-HOLES Makes review a lot more interactive Differentiated learning is a lot easier Give students valuable information about how well they understand the content. How could you use this strategy to assess student understanding TOMORROW OR THE NEXT UNIT?

23. Formative Assessment Strategy 9 WRAP AROUNDS Makes learning units/vocabulary more interactive How could you use this strategy to assess student understanding TOMORROW OR THE NEXT UNIT?

24. Formative Assessment Strategy 10 EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN FLIPPABLES Makes learning experimental design fun and engaging.
