On this Friday we had the very first Constant Velocity Quiz. I assessed them on CVPM.1 – I can translate from one motion representation to another for an object with a constant velocity, and CVPM.2. I differentiate between position, distance, displacement, speed and velocity. The students took the quiz then gathered around my teacher desk and began the process of giving themselves immediate feedback. I had many copies of the answer key and they took my red pens and set out to correcting things and adding stars/happy faces to the things that they got correct. They mentioned that they greatly enjoyed the chance to instantly see their results and add feedback. I haven’t had a chance to actually give them a grade but I was glad that they had some feedback. I also stole the following picture from someone on Twitter. It was used in their exit slip as they graded themselves.
I know that they probably will not have their best grade on this quiz but I do not care. I quiz rather often and I just need my own comprehensive idea of where their understanding actually is so that I can re-adjust my teaching/lessons so that we can move on at the appropriate time. They have definitely not had enough time with v-t graphs but we will work on that next week.
