Exemplars
One of the key benefits of Exemplars is that students don’t have to get to the correct answer in order to be successful or to stretch their thinking. The dynamics of students sharing and discussing their thought processes with one another is what’s so invaluable — it is NOT always about the answer; it’s about the process.
When completing Exemplars we work as a class, in smaller groups, as partners, and individually. Students learn how to represent their thinking with pictures and words, as well being able to articulate their thought process when they meet with me one-to-one. All Exemplars will be graded for formative assessment and weighted at zero. My goal is to create a risk-free challenge to expand each students mathematical thinking. Each Exemplar has a slightly more accessible version as well as a more challenging version. Please email for additional versions.
