Step 4: Assess Student Learning

Guiding Questions

• Look back at what you determined as acceptable evidence in Step 2.
• What are the most appropriate methods and activities for assessing student learning?
• How will I align my assessment strategies with my teaching strategies?

Sample Assessment Tasks

In addition to ongoing assessment throughout the lessons, consider the following sample activities to evaluate students' learning at key milestones. Suggestions are given for assessing all students as a class or in groups, individual students in need of further evaluation, and individual or groups of students in a variety of contexts.

A. Whole Class/Group Assessment

Examples of Whole Class/Group Assessment  

B. One-on-one Assessment

Examples of One-on-one Assessment  

C. Applied Learning

Provide opportunities for students to use their understanding of different types of triangles as well as regular and irregular polygons. For example, have the students find a 3-D object in the real world that has a face shaped like a regular polygon. Does the student:

• find a suitable object?
• explain why the face on the object is a regular polygon?
• find a congruent regular polygon, if asked, and explain why it is congruent?
• include an equilateral triangle as a regular polygon, if asked?
• provide a more descriptive name for the regular polygon if asked; e.g., regular hexagon?
• find an example of an irregular polygon and compare it to the regular polygon, if asked?
