Fractions of an Amount: Diagnostic questions
Diagnostic questions are the cornerstone of my formative assessment strategy. I tend to ask at least 3 diagnostic questions every single lesson, every single day, to every single class. I use them to assess baseline knowledge, make decisions at key points in my lesson, and to inform my planning of future lessons. I tend to ask them with no technology - simply asking students to vote, 1 finger for A, 2 for B, 3 for C and 4 for D. I describe my process for using diagnostic questions in class in Chapter 11 of my book, How I wish I'd taught maths, and in the following blog posts:
- What is a diagnostic question?
- What makes a good diagnostic question?
- Asking diagnostic questions in class
- Responding to diagnostic questions in class
