Providing meaningful feedback to student math samples using the Mathematical Practices

Abstract

Bolstered by recent efforts towards encouraging teachers to use frequent formative assessment to inform and revise teaching, the edTPA assessment for pre-service teachers requires candidates to demonstrate the ability to collect student work and provide constructive feedback to the students. Within the mathematics classroom, providing feedback, especially on correctly completed problems, can be a challenge to novice teachers. The Common Core Standards for Mathematics’ eight Mathematical Practices can offer a framework for providing this feedback. Using examples from released Ohio tests, this article provides examples of feedback that can teachers may give to student work that are framed in the context of the eight practices. Using this practices as a guide can help teacher candidates construct both positive feedback and suggestions for future strategies.
