Case: How do I address poor quiz/test results?
I just began my third year of teaching, and while in many ways I feel much more comfortable with all the systems I've developed, I still haven't come up with a good way to review poor class tests/quizzes. Last week, I gave my 7th grade self-contained math classes a quick quiz on LCM, GCF, and simplifying fractions. The average score was about 60%. I'll continue to review the concepts in class of course, but I'm not sure how to handle handing it back. Should I hand it back, have them look over my comments, stick it in their data binders, and move on? Or do I go over the most frequently missed questions? Or should I have them do their own quiz corrections?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You should absolutely have the students review your comments for formative feedback to assist them with their progress. Then, yes, they should correct the ones they missed in order to clear up any misconceptions, especially since LCM, GCF, and simplifying fractions are skills in which 7th graders should be somewhat familiar. |

| Comments: I believe this solution is a great one for this situation. I also feel like the students should be able to see what they are doing wrong in order to improve in the future. I think a whole class review of the most commonly missed problems would be in order once students have received their feedback. |

| Comments: I agree with this response that having students review feedback is important in helping them to know what they need to work on. I also think working through the ones they got wrong, especially if the whole class missed a ton of questions, is very important. They need to grasp and understand the concepts they were tested on before they can build on them and move on to further instruction and tests. |
