What evidence supports their thinking?

(Learning prompts from John Muir Laws)

Listen as students make connections, ask questions, and explain their reasoning.

Assessment starts with curiosity, not a worksheet.

On a curriculum walk, invite students to collect natural objects in order to explore greater than, less than, and equal to.

Encourage students to share their thinking:
I notice…
I wonder…

Does spreading objects apart change their quantity? Is a larger object always greater? Could we bundle sticks into groups of ten? What if one rock represented 100?

One collection of natural objects, countless opportunities to explore mathematical thinking.

Listen as students compare, question, and justify their reasoning.

Assessment through observation and conversation. No worksheet required!
