Engage NY Stations - A Station: Assessment

Objectives/Resources Used: The focus at A station is to assess previous learned content and allow students to use math talk to build strategies and reinforce skills learned. At this station I use the Engage NY Exit Ticket from the previous day's lesson. Depending on the skill I may have them work alone or with their groups using math talk. If they are working alone they can discuss the answers together after. 

Classroom Set Up: 

On my Station Board under A I write the page number of the Exit Ticket they need to complete and I write Alone or With Groups. For this station students use their own materials and must sit at a seat to work away from other stations. I do have a table area just for this station so when they are working in their groups they know where to go. 

Examples:

• For Engage NY Lesson 1 the Exit Ticket is 1.A.12 so students will complete the exit ticket and then discuss their answers with their group. 

Accountability/Assessment: One quick check I have in place is level checks. We use level check a lot in small group by holding up fingers to show what level they feel they are on. Level 3 means that they feel they have mastered the skill and are ready to move forward no problem. Level 2 means they feel they understand the skill but need a little more practice with it before moving on. Level 1 means they are stuck and don't know how to move forward on their own. 

For A station students turn in their Exit Ticket in to the basket level they think they are. Level 3 is a green basket, 2 is yellow, and 1 is red. I can try to quickly check the work when stations are over and students are doing their problem set.
