Getting to Know Your Students

Gathering information about students鈥� experiences in math is an important part of establishing and maintaining an equitable learning community.鈥疻hen teachers take time to gather and respond to students鈥� reflections about math class, they demonstrate their commitment to fostering a supportive math learning community as well their respect for their students鈥� contributions. If used regularly, such reflections can help teachers see how students鈥� thoughts about mathematics and about themselves as learners are or are not changing over time.

罢丑别听Student Reflection Tool is designed to support teachers in making student reflection a regular part of their practice. The tool contains a bank of questions and sample questionnaires organized into four areas of focus:

  • Area 1: Students鈥� prior experiences with mathematics
  • Area 2: Students鈥� reflections on themselves as math learners
  • Area 3: Students鈥� beliefs and expectations for math class
  • Area 4: Students鈥� participation in math class
A teacher confers with a pair of young students about the math problem they are solving.

An accompanying planning document supports teachers in identifying their goals, selecting specific questions to pose, analyzing students鈥� responses, and reflecting on next steps.

Download the tools and use them as fillable forms or print them.

I think that using these tools helps you be more reflective and more intentional in a way that will ultimately help your students.鈥�
