Step 5: Follow-up on Assessment

Guiding Questions

What conclusions can be made from assessment information?
How effective have instructional approaches been?
What are the next steps in instruction?

A. Addressing Gaps in Learning

Continue work with hands-on experiences in relating radius, diameter and circumference. Have students measure the radius, diameter and circumference of various circular objects, such as lids.

Provide practice for students to use a compass in creating art designs with circles.
Review the relationship between multiplication and division by using number sentences with whole numbers. Transfer this learning to C = 3.14 d and C/3.14 = d.
Create problems, using circumference, radius and diameter with everyday contexts that students can relate to.
Encourage students to read the problem orally, identify the given information, draw a diagram to represent the problem and write appropriate number sentences that relate the radius, diameter, circumference and/or pi.
Encourage students to use the calculator if the calculations are difficult in solving problems

B. Reinforcing and Extending Learning

Students who have achieved or exceeded the outcomes will benefit from ongoing opportunities to apply and extend their learning. These activities should support students in developing a deeper understanding of the concept and should not progress to the outcomes in subsequent grades.
