5 formative assessment strategies to use in the classroom

Five formative assessment ideas that can be implemented straight away in the classroom. Great for instant feedback and quick assessment!

This pack includes:

1. Formative assessment dice poster - children can take it in turns to roll the dice and answer the corresponding question.
2. Fist to 5 poster - allowing you to assess how challenging children found a lesson and who needs additional support
3. ‘Thumbs up, thumbs down’ cut outs - these can be placed on children’s desks and used throughout lessons to check for understanding.
4. Mobile phone exit cards - laminate these and ask children to fill them out at the end of a lesson. A good way to see how children are feeling after a lesson.
5. Traffic light labels - attach these to 3 marking trays and the children can file their work according to how difficult they found the task in hand.
