Authentic Assessment in Maths

The purpose of this professional learning workshop is to provide mathematics teachers with assessment ideas and ready-to-use tasks. The presenter, Jackie Blue, will provide teachers with authentic, engaging ways to assess student performance and achievement of outcomes in Mathematics courses from Years 7 to 12. The workshop will enable participants to:
  • Explore the types of authentic assessment tasks possible for mathematics classrooms.
  • Examine and discuss current attitudes and school-based practices towards assessment, grading and weighting of tasks.
  • Consider the implications for assessment in Stages 4 and 5 given the changes to school-based assessment for the new Stage 6 Mathematics courses.
  • Provide more meaningful and constructive feedback to students about their achievement.
  • Explore a range of resources that can be used immediately in the classroom to engage students and support their learning.
  • Explore ideas for teaching and assessing key concepts and the components of Working Mathematically.
  • Discuss and share assessment resources and strategies.
All activities are accompanied by ready-to-use electronic resources.

Attending the Authentic Assessment in Mathematics day was well worth both the four hour drive to Sydney and giving up a Saturday. Jackie shared many resources as well as her experience of running alternative style assessment tasks in all years and with all ability levels. I was able to use lots of the ideas and resources back at my school immediately. Sally Sim, Scone Grammar School

One of the best professional learning days that I attended in 2017. Jackie shared her expertise along with a mountain of resources and tasks that addressed many of the working mathematically outcomes across all year groups. I was inspired to go back to my faculty and pass on all that was shared during that day. As a consequence, we've put in place new processes that improve the way we design assessments. Overall a great workshop. I would actually go again! Vicki Zacharia, Rouse Hill HS

Yet again another successful and incredibly useful session from PD4MaTHS.  Jackie provided many take away assessments ready to go across different stages.  I especially liked the creativity of the 'designing a clock' assessment, which I cant wait to use with my year 7 class this year.  In addition, the generosity of the teachers who had made the effort to attend on a Saturday morning, in  their sharing of resources, further strengthens my passion for our subject and those who teach it.  Definitely time well spent. Lisa Trapnell, Riverside Girls High School
