Fine Tune Start-of-Year Assessments with Magnetic Moments
Thanks to test scores and notes from last year’s educators, teachers have a sense of where students are as they enter the new school year. But that information doesn’t always tell the whole story!
To help you with in-person, real-time, start-of-the-year assessments, we’re sharing some of our best-selling assessment tools, including:
Fist to Five Check Magnets
Assess student comprehension of any subject or lesson in a single glance with this set of seven colorful magnets.
At any time in your lesson, just call out “Fist to Five” – students will raise between zero and five fingers corresponding to the comprehension levels shown on the magnets.
A quick and easy tool to assess student understanding, the set can be displayed vertically or horizontally on your whiteboard.
Magnetic Dry-Erase Boards
Students can “show what they know” using sturdy, reusable Magnetic Dry-Erase Boards.
Lap-sized and double-sided, these boards are perfect for quick assessments of building words, solving math problems, and more.
Students write, draw, and/or place magnets (sold separately) on the boards to create their responses; hold up the boards for you to see, then erase their work to be ready for the next question.
Choose from double-sided blank/lined or blank/blank board versions.
Large Magnet Sentence Strips
Demonstrate sentence building, paragraph writing, grammar, punctuation, and more on the whiteboard using these durable and oversized magnetic sentence strips.
(Hint: you can even cut the strips with scissors to make them the perfect size for practicing words or parts of words.)
Simply pass out the strips to students to fill in at their desks. Then, have students add their completed strip to the board, so you can check their work.
Erase and reuse again and again!
Magnetic Demonstration 0-120 Chart
Quickly and easily assemble a giant hundred chart directly on your whiteboard – then add on to teach up to 120!
This bold and easy-to-see set of oversized quadrant pieces, 0 piece, colorful frames, cover-up squares and unique t-shaped more/less than piece are perfect for teaching odds and evens, skip counting, and all kinds of number patterns and facts.
Call students to the board to demonstrate their comprehension.
Sturdy, durable, and easy to clean, these reusable, magnetic assessment tools will last for years of new student assessments. Happy school year!
