The following are typical examples of my data records. The first is the results of a quiz that was given after teaching how to scale ratios to solve part-to-part and part-to-whole questions.
The data above shows that I was successful at helping students understand how to read and write ratios, but that I was less successful at helping them understand how to scale a ratio to solve a problem, especially when the problem required adding all parts to find a whole. I was also not successful at helping them remember that “for each”, “for every”, and “per”, when not followed by a number, should be treated as 1. The question indicated as multi-part ratio is a DOK 3 question that requires students to put together a single ratio from two different parts. Based on this data, I knew that I needed to reteach some of my learning objectives. I created a new engagement experience for those objectives, and then administered a new quiz.
The data above shows that most students demonstrated mastery of the learning objectives after re-engagement. The only question where students still struggled was the DOK 3 question, but even that question saw increased success after the re-engagement lesson. Based on this data, I determined that the class was ready to move on to new content. (I did have a side conversation with the student who opted not to complete the quiz and made sure they also had an understanding of the content.)
