What might Happen today Introductions • News/Info issues • Back Mapping • Break 10:30 to 11 • Differentiation/Inquiry • Pathways • Lunch 12:30 to 1 • Literacy • Q & A
Starters • Burning issues – UNLOAD! • Write down all the issues • Record on stickies • Don’t leave without getting a response • A shared problem is a solved problem • Hogan - Take notes!
Rationale for the work for today Address some of the needs identified from National Survey organised by Nat Coord 2013
News and INformation • NZQA • NZQA Approved • MCAT online trial 2013 for practice • MCAT external internal • National Systems Check • MOE • RAMP – 2014-2018 • TIMMS & PISA results – MOE year 1-13 • STARPATH – Literacy & Mathematics • NZ MATHS - Jigsaw • NZAMT – New, secure & practice assessments • News letter – 1 x term
Key information • Trend in statistics is towards assignments • Authenticity to be managed by school • Technology expected to be used • Analyse data • Draw graphs • All aspects of PPDAC must be present in student response • Achieved : All bullet points in the standard must be present in the report • Merit : justification of comments • Excellence: statistical & contextual knowledge present
Clarification’s - general • Range of … • Selection of … “I have done a module on modellingtides - lots of internet information on NZ tidal modellingwhich explains how complex numbers are used and how many things need to be taken into account. They were fascinated by it and understand how what we do is a very simplified version of what is needed in the real world. I have done all the other content but why should we think that if we don't test proving identities they have somehow lost out. This is our chance to show students the really beauty of mathematics.” nzmaths forum
More! • Achieved plus Merit plus – no longer relevant • No set time allocation • Resources sheet allowed for internals • What does solving a problem mean?
Clarifications - Statistics • At all levels for achieved • Where • Why • What • 3.10 - 3.12 95% confidence & 95 percentile clarification Assesment specification 91584 “when interpeting confidence intervals in context, it is acceptable for candidates to use “with 95% confidence..” or “ I am pretty sure …” or other words similar in meaning. Other expressions?
To Ponder • “if more than minimal feedback is necessary then a student is not ready for the assessment” • How do we manage assessments to allow students to sit the task when ready ? • Do we offer reassessments – how could this be managed? • Do we accept teaching to the assessment? How do we manage this?
