performance task
- In this unit, we will take a hands on approach to review measurements used in science, such as volume, mass, and length. We will be collaborating as groups to create games based on a specific measurement skill. In the end, students will teach their peers how to apply the skill in their game. The games will be spotlighted during our June field day.
Students are creating 3 games that each involve each of the mathematical measurement skills: volume, mass and length.

Group rubrics + Checklists
LEARNING TARGET: SWBAT collaborate as a class to create a rubric or checklist that will be used for self and peer evaluations.
- Each class collaborated to create a rubric or checklist that the students will use to grade their group members. The results are a rubric or checklist specific to each class. All classes chose each category for evaluation, the type of rating system, such as stars, numbers, letters, as well as the criteria for each category.
- Students will have the opportunity for group and self-reflection at the end of each work period. This opportunity will allow them to give themselves and each group member a rating as well as contemplate ways in which their work ethic and productivity can be improve.
