Fun with Formative Assessment in Grade 4

Posted on July 28, 2021 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Fun with Formative Assessment in Grade 4

I should preface my list with that I believe that play and games are an essential part of our school day and I aim to have at least one learning game as part of each day and to make things as playful as possible to engage my students. We play a lot of games some adapted from traditional board games, others are theater sports with a twist through these I can see my students thinking and understanding. It’s hard to play guess who if you can’t ask good questions or make inferences, and human guess who or guess who with characters in a novel works well with my students. Many of my ideas on the list below are things we do in my classroom but I didn’t realize I could be using as assessment, I was practicing skills or working on competencies. 

  1. Chalk / pencil talks
  2. My favourite no https://learn.teachingchannel.com/video/class-warm-up-routine

  11. Temperature check
  12. Traffic lights
    1. Red, yellow and green paint chips on corners of desks
  13. Graphic organizers

  15. Sketches

    2. Ask a question
    3. Give one suggestion
  20. 4 corners
  21. 4 square
    1. one word, math problem or question in each of 4 squares for students to make a connection to, respond to or solve the problem.
  22. Snowball activities
