Using Xtranormal for Assessment

The evaluation of students learning would be based on their mathematical ideas, and also how well they were able to use Xtranormal to communicate that. The purpose of Xtranormal in the lessons provided is mainly as an evaluative tool to see what the children have learned about chance and data in their unit of mathematics. I’ve selected this method of evaluation because it is more engaging for the students than something on paper might be. It also looks at factors such as teamwork and creativity which can also be evaluated.
 * **// The teacher will be looking for the group’s ability to... //** ||
 * write a story that is creative and original. ||
 * write a story that is relevant to the topic of mathematics. ||
 * use Xtranormal to make a movie. ||
 * work well as a pair (evenly shared work, communicated well, ect). ||

This is a different approach to more traditional forms of evaluation such as tests or questionnaires. Where tests and quizzes look at the knowledge and facts that children have learned over the course of the unit, using this form of evaluation really looks at the children’s ability to apply their knowledge, and to see it in a real-world situation.
