Benchmark…
Benchmark, what a funny word - but it’s really a great tool for all concerned. They are marks in learning, hopefully showing progress.
We’ve just finished our last (3rd) math benchmark and I’m very proud of my students. We’ve discussed and calculated raw scores (the number of items correct.) Some students are working for passing (30 out of 44), some for commended (40 out of 44), and some are working for a perfect score (44 out of 44). And boy are they all working - they look like little bees buzzing about…some working by themselves, some in groups of 2, some in larger groups - but all are working! Yea!…a teacher’s dream - involved students, excited about math!

Our math benchmark was so easy, because Mrs. Spence has helped me in a lot of things!!!

That math benchmark really tells us what we need to work in math class with Mrs. Spence.

Benchmarks are tough.Though they show the things you need to work on,so that you can go to the next grade!So…in a way that means…that Benchmarks are…kinda good.
